I guess my eyes see different things than what your eyes see, because you are speaking as if all these elements of the catch on that play are absolutes, when they very clearly are not or we wouldn’t still be talking about it.
People under value culture. It gets thrown around like a negative or just coach speak. You had regime after regime during the drought, and Sabres current drought. Look at the Jets. If you can’t change the culture, the results never change. Doesn’t matter who you have.
He was totally unique. My favorite coach ever. Including Levy. He wasn’t just coaching players, he coached men. And that included me. So much of what he taught was applicable to every day life. I learned a lot and grew as a person listening to him. That’s pretty unique I’d say.
You’re completely ignoring note 4. Note 2 makes no mention of an offensive and defensive player having possession of the ball in terms of surviving the ground. Note 4 makes no mention of how note 2 impacts a defensive player’s ability to gain control of the ball after the ground in this scenario.
I really appreciate you debating me on this, citing your sources. I’m very frustrated by the ruling. Usually when I’m frustrated by a call and dig into, I find I was wrong. But not in this case but I understand the ambiguity in interpretation. Just wanted to say I appreciate you.
Not in any way accurate based on video evidence. The offensive player had the ball to the ground. Ripped out after the ground
That is the definition of simultaneous that you are conveniently ignoring. Again, and I can’t state this enough, this is why we need to understand how they INTERPRETED the rule. Because you and I are looking at the same rules and interpreting them differently.
So then it’s incomplete under the rules you referenced above because the intercepting player didn’t survive the ground either (simultaneous at the ground). Nothing in the rule says the defender gets a greater chance to possess the ball over the offensive player.
Deactivated my X account and moved here full time for that reason. I’m angry. Trying not to take that X attitude with me. I’m still new here. But I need a more intelligent and nuanced conversation. Hoping to find that here
the defending player either had full possession at the ground (he didn’t) or no one had possession(not simultaneous) and it bounced up staying alive for the defender to intercept. Neither scenario is supported by video evidence or precedence so I need an explanation.
It is a big leap to say the defender had a right to that ball due to the WR not surviving the ground when evidence shows simultaneous possession at the ground (thus ending the play with possession for the offensive player). In order to be an interception, it would have to be ruled (2/3)
This is an incorrect interpretation of the rule based on note 4 of the rule referenced. If simultaneous possession is ruled, there is no mention in the rules of a defensive player’s ability to gain control of the ball in a simultaneous situation (1/2)
That’s your interpretation. Not the wording of the rule YOU cited which says nothing of simultaneous possession or interception. Numerous examples cited in the last two days back up my interpretation and none back up yours. Again, we need an explanation of how it was interpreted
Which doesn’t address simultaneous possession of the ball to the ground thus the need for an explanation of which rules they are interpreting and how they are being interpreted. Anything else?
Well I do understand the rule, which is why the call flabbergasts me. I used to buy a print copy of the rulebook every year when that was a thing. But every one telling me the call was right just says it was right. No explanation. Describe how the call was right. Because the rulebook says otherwise.
Well how did it work with Whaley? Was he not involved in the HC search? Did he know he was out after the draft? I guess I’m asking is there any possibility the promotion was to give the impression he’s not a lame duck when he is in fact a lame duck?
Last time the Pegulas fired a coach they kept the GM on until after the draft because of how the NFL calendar works and their personal belief. Any inkling that this could be just a way to get Beane to stay on through the draft?
What a waste of time my fandom has become
Because coaches have a real job to do every fucking day. GMs get to spend half their time politicking. Beane is scum. McDermott brought him here and he stabbed him in the back because he sucks at his job. Fuck Beane. Fuck Pegula. Fuck that ref Cheffers. Fuck the league. Fuck it all
Too bad their idiot billionaire owner doesn’t have the balls to swallow his pride and realize he made the wrong decision and bring him back. No billionaire does. These delusional fucks think they have all the answers instead of just lucky. Dumb fuck. Fuck Pegula
He just fired Marv Levy. This is the equivalent of firing Lindy Ruff. Which was only rectified by hiring Lindy Ruff back. The Bills don’t have 14 years to get this right again. When you fire the guy who is your best option to replace that guy you made the wrong decision. Billionaires shouldn’t exist
