Re: Tom Brady Best QB Ever!!!!!!
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] This bugs me to death about the tuck rule. Brady has both hands on the football when getting hit thus making the tuck irrelevant. [/ QUOTE ] Yeah but by the letter of the law it was the correct call (at the time, I think it was changed that offseason?). This topic should be exhausted by now - the Pats legitimately won the game according to the rules at that time. The most amazing thing that game was Vinatieri somehow nailing like a 47 yard FG in the blizzard. He made two, I can't remember if that was the one to tie or win, but seriously even if you're a Pats-hater you have to admit that was quite a feat. [/ QUOTE ] It was the game tier. Also, it was the greatest field goal in the history of football. [/ QUOTE ] Nice to know you aren't using hyperbole. As for Brady having both hands on the ball. Once he gets both hands back on the ball it's need to be called a fumble, otherwise he could just pump fake right off the snap and than the QB could never fumble it. [/ QUOTE ] Three things: 1) I'm not using hyberbole at all 2) Haveing two hands on the ball is irrelevant both because there was nothing about it in the rule book at the time, and because it is legal to throw a two handed pass, and such a pass can be incomplete. 3) Thanks for the links to the pats videos. Prior to 2001, I seriously thought that no team I root for would ever win a championship. Since then, my teams have won 4.5 championships, and I am glad to have seen it. [/ QUOTE ] " Also, it was the greatest field goal in the history of football. " Are you being nit about the technical defintion about hyperbole, or are you suggesting that you weren't exxagerating. About the both hands on the ball thing. "When a Team A player is holding the ball to pass it forward, any intentional forward movement of his arm starts a forward pass, even if the player loses possession of the ball as he is attempting to tuck it back toward his body. Also, if the player has tucked the ball into his body and then loses possession, it is a fumble." In my opinion having both hands on the ball qualifies as having tucked the ball into the body.

Re: Tom Brady Best QB Ever!!!!!!

Pudge, Are you saying that by the letter of the law the officials made the wrong call? First I've heard of this. [/ QUOTE ] I'm saying that the letter of the law is so incredibly vague that so many different conclusions could be made. Peter King has a good analogy to determine whether or not a play should be over turned, pretend they show the play to every referee in an inclosed room 90% of them need to agree it will be overturned. In this case I really don't think there would be a high enough percentage to overturn this call.

Do you really think the NFL would admit the refs blew the call and wrongly sent a team to the AFC championship game? [/ QUOTE ] The NFL has admitted that officials have blown big calls in playoff games before. Also, Peyton Manning's problem isn't that he can't win the big game, it's that he makes horrible errors when he faces unexpected blitzes.
