thats not the rule. he was being hit and the ball went backwards that doesnt make it a backwards pass when he was clearly trying to throw it forwards.

It didn’t help that he really didn’t throw it. He tried to do a two hand push. It’s arguable it would have just gone sideways or slightly backward anyway. The hit to the arm changed the trajectory to clearly backwards.

Really weird play. I think they should have stuck with intentional grounding and Vrabel would have challenged.

Thats the problem.

Say he was in the pocket and he starts his arm 1 inch forward and the ball comes out behind him. they would 100% of the time say forward pass. Same rule applies here when contact happens.

Just came from the game. Absolute brutal conditions. I’ve been to hundreds of games, that was the worst, between snow, wind, cold.

I guess I’m the only one on the planet that agreed to go for it on that 4th down in real time.
AFC chip, backup qb, pedal to the metal.

Also, the play was ruled incomplete pass, then we hear, “after a discussion on the field”. W the fuq??

That 9+ minute FG drive by the Pats was critical. It ate up time while the weather was still good. They got the lead, and neither team could do anything in the snow.

I think Payton miscalculated the 2nd half weather in his decisions

Analytics say go for it there. Only reason not to is if you think points are at a premium and they were.

Yeah no problem analyzing, that was just my real time honest reaction. I was the only person I heard agreeing with it though.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Because the pass went backwards.

When the defender hit his arm sideways.

Absolutely no idea if there should be a distinction

 

[phreddie]

Hmmmm... I'm no coach -nor have I stayed at a Holiday Inn express- but might actually covering JSN be some kind of strategy one might employ?

Stay the course!

The 500 people that will show up for the Rams Super Bowl parade if they win it all are mildly flustered right now.

 

[bpo57]

so stupid

 

[Briancuse]

What a moron.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

so stupid

Nothing better than immediately paying the toll for your stupidity

 

[NineOneSeven]

One of the biggest penalties you’ll ever see. My god.

 

[bpo57]

And it was only a matter of time. The Seattle secondary has been chirping all game long.

 

[CanadianSU]

He was warned before the flag.

Imagine losing a game because your teammate couldn't keep his mouth shut. Looks like he's getting chewed out now

essentially a 7 point personal foul.
basically as if rams punted and then Darnold threw a pick six on the next pass.

Id cut him

 

[justgold315]

Id cut him

With a knife? Or from the team?

 

[Briancuse]

The team lol, im not that mean.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

The team lol, im not that mean.

The correct answer is



Yes

 

[BomberOrange]

Kind if weak. Chirping happens all game. Why now?

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Stafford has too much time back there. Picking them apart
