Twitter: Micah was robbed of a sack

[AmericasTeam81]

I have a $100 bet at +1000 on Micah leading the league in sacks. I better not lose the bet by one sack.

 

[Proof]

Micah needs to let his actions do the talking.

he does lol. and he talks as well. and has earned the right

Game announcers are about 100 yards away - not a closeup video where you can clearly see him get his foot. You might want to go to the eye doctor!

Dude, the Twitter video that was posted didn’t show anything clearly or we wouldn’t be arguing about it. A video was provided that did show it clearly. Even with that video you have to look very closely.

 

[KJJ]

I wish I could just post a pic from my computer versus doing the whole URL thing. Parsons grabs his ankle. Goff goes down. Go look at it again.

Another video clip was posted that shows Parson grab his ankle.

It should be Parsons’ sack.

Okay, now that's a definitive view! I'll change my opinion. It was Micah's sack.

@America's Cowboy , your view almost had me convinced, but I couldn't tell if he actually caught his foot or just swiped at it.

 

[Runwildboys]

I’m not sure it’s a very good look for Micah Parsons to be lobbying for an extra sack for himself when it will be taken away from his teammate.

He might just be joking around with Armstrong, but even if he isn't, why should Armstrong get credit for Micah's sack?

 

[darthseinfeld]

Its probably a half sack

He shouldn’t. That’s not my point. It just seems like a ‘me’ thing to publicly lobby for it on social media. Maybe I’m just too old school…not a huge deal…just looked that way to me

 

[Jarntt]

I’m not the one who’s blind it’s you guys. Lol Even the game announcer said Armstrong tripped him up.

Who cares what the "game announcer" said? I never understood why people try to use that as proof their opinion is correct. Are his eyes better than yours? Is he watching the replay 30 times or seeing every angle available?

It should be Parsons’ sack.

This is pretty conclusive here IMO. Dorance doesn't even appear to have touched Goff at all.

 

[tyke1doe]

If I'm not mistaken, they gave Armstrong credit for the sack on that play.

Armstrong should be de-credited for getting in Parsons' way.

 

[Jarntt]

Don't really care who gets credit for it. The important thing is the D sacked Goff.

I love Micah, but I kind of wish he felt this way also...

 

[Irvin88_4life]

Need to see the beginning to establish the LOS. It looks like Goff may have gotten past the LOS for a short gain.

It was a couple yards from LOS


Only way it's not a sack is if NFL says Goff is a runner, than it's a TFL

 

[tyke1doe]

It's pretty clear from the overhead video clip that Parsons should be credited with the sack.

 

[Irvin88_4life]

Armstrong should be de-credited for getting in Parsons' way.

I still see Armstrong with 6 sacks so seems like neither got it. After the play the Announcer said Armstrong with a sack though

 

[tyke1doe]

I love Micah, but I kind of wish he felt this way also...

If he has monetary incentives in his contract for number of sacks, I can't fault him.

He wouldn't have that in a rookie deal. But maybe Armstrong does?

 

[tyke1doe]

He wouldn't have that in a rookie deal. But maybe Armstrong does?

Why not? Are all rookie contracts standard?
Do they not have incentives such as pro bowl nominations, performance bonuses?

not really

You can tell that many people (on this board) have their opinion's shaped by the announcers.
