The NFL can call penalties from New York, but only when done BY the Vikings.

but they couldnt call the bearhug/hold done against Cashman, only that while being held Cashman grabbed the mask.

Curious how this game would be different if the right thing was done and let the Vikes score the TD when Stafford pushed it onto the ground. Would have been a tie game with a massive momentum shift toward a team that desperatelyneeded one, instead, they wouldnt even call IG.

As for the rule itself, maybe the NFL can make yet another new rule after a screw job against the Vikings. Call it the Stafford Fumble Rule. A QB going diwn who tosses it at the ground results in a fumble. That stupid shit would stop quickly.

For that matter, football would do well to make any ball that touches the ground without going over the line of scrimmage a fumble, no matter which way it was “thrown.”

I'm in the same boat. Same with the Detroit game. If either game would have turned out well, I would have watched it. The TV tonight is set to a replay of the wonderful Mark Wahlberg film, "Shooter". Much more entertaining, even though I've seen it 20+ times

We are running and walk to the line, giving the rams a chance to challenge.

Get your schit together KOC
 






Thanks Sam! You gave us some hope. But you aren’t the answer. At thus point I’m not sure who will the brain trust will give the keys to. But one thing fir sure is it doesn’t matter unless the Queens invest in the OL
 







Sean McVey is a genius. Threw the game against Seattle to avoid Washington and get the 14 win team instead.

and? They will get destroyed by the Eagles. And I hope Dirty Detroit does too.
 



You can tell who KOC doesn't care about by who is still in this game. No JJ. No Addison. No Hockensen. Sam and Aaron Jones are still out there. Jones also will not be back.

Every replay ref would have overturned that. Stafford did not fumble. It was obvious. Thought so rewatching it 5 seconds after it happened, by going back on DVR. I knew it wasn't going to hold up.

It should have been Intentional Grounding though.

Your proposed rule change would lead to utter chaos.

I agree that rule would never work. However, a ball thrown "in the vicinity" of a receiver that has zero chance to actually catch it should still be grounding.

Yes. Agree. Should still be Intentional Grounding, 100%.

I even think when QBs spike it to stop the clock is cheesy, but it helps offense so the rules allow it. Different subject.
 


The three biggest games of KOC's career (Playoffs vs. Daniel freakin' Jones, Playoffs vs. Rams, Week 18 vs. Lions): 0-3, outscored 85-42.

Agree. It didn't look like a fumble to me. But it absolutely should have been intentional grounding. He "threw" it directly into the ground......where he was staring. When the throw away is behind the LOS like that.....there has to be some aspect of catchability and it wasn't even close here.
