OT Buc's saints ending

[SteveC]

Mike williams gets shoved out of bounds so they lose the game? not sure i understand.

 

[OrangeCrush22]

Just saw that. I don't get that rule.

For those who didn't see... With no time left Williams got shoved out of the back of the endzone. He came back in and Freeman hit him. The ref through a flag due to him being an ineligible receiver.

 

[Rocco]

Can't go OB and come back in and touch it.

 

[SteveC]

Can't go OB and come back in and touch it.

I get that. But he was literally shoved out. where was the PI?

 

[orange79]

If you go out of bounds, and come back in, you can't be the first player to touch the ball. At least that's how I understand it.

 

[OrangeCrush22]

Can't go OB and come back in and touch it.

I thought if you were shoved out it didn't matter?

 

[orange79]

I thought if you were shoved out it didn't matter?

Correct

 

[SteveC]

I thought if you were shoved out it didn't matter?

One of the commentators started to say it didn't matter.. and then called it a great play by the saints defender :crazy:

Hurts because I've got MW and need the points.

 

[SteveC]

Rules expert says since freeman was out of the pocket it it was legal for MW to be shoved. BS rule. or at least implemented in a BS way.

 

[SteveC]

Hurts because I've got MW and need the points.

I have freeman and need the points =(

 

[Crazy Cuse]

Shady lost that's all that matters. 2-4 with Tampa and going to get worse. Hate that Motherf*cker!!!!

 

[orangenauburn]

Tampa has three heartbreak defeats this year

That is coaching

 

[Upstate]

that was a bad call. he was forced out, plus he re-established himself in bounds.

Doesn't matter. As stated above, once Freeman is out of the pocket, DB's can block without PI. And whether or not he was forced out, he can't be the first player to touch the ball. Not a bad call, as I understand the rules. Call the rule bad if you want, but not the call on the field.
