I’m sick of clicking on a Jersey Mike’s ad when I’m trying to quote a post. Super lame new owners. 

There are ads? I honestly don’t see them.

Question:   When the ball ended up on the four yard line on the kick off and the player from Ill went out of bounds and touched the ball ,  why did the ball end up at the 35 yard line?

By rule, the ball was recovered out of bounds. It’s a really stupid rule.

Amart needs to see the field better but he definitely is a gamer as a runner 

 

i understand wandale played great down the stretch but it wouldve been great to see a bigger back in down the stretch so we couldve have potentially gone up two scores 

 

my heart goes out to the WR core but major respect because they still play the game unselfishly

 

caleb tannor is a freak 

 

jojo is hammer

 

cam taylor is a baller

 

If lamar had caps intangibles he would be an all american

I’m not tech savvy enough to do ad-blocker stuff.

I’ve seen that play in the NFL. I wasn’t surprised one bit by the play. It was a great job by the returner. By establishing himself out of bounds and catching the ball, the ball is out of bounds by rule.

We were lucky the block in the back was reversed. Game changed with that play

Find a kicker and don't fumble, and you might be okay?

Might not have a kicker all year. Just try to overcome it. The fumbling is a huge concern. Every hit I expected a fumble.

I think we needed to formally down the ball

It makes sense to me. The ball isn’t touched in bounds and then the receiver establishes him OOB, and touches the ball, which makes the ball OOB.

Randall Cobb did it in a Packers game a few years ago; he stood with one foot in and one foot out, and picked the ball up. He knew the rule, and the Illinois player knew it too. I'm sure special teams players are made to be aware of it.

Yup- our guys need to play smarter.  Surround the ball and down it.
