Me and some buddies got to talking about this Sunday night. IF they decided the rule needs to be changed, you still have to punish the team for not securing the ball throughout the play. If the original spot is outside of the red zone, it’s just a loss of a down. If the original LOS is inside the red zone, move em back to the 20 and also tack on a loss of down.
Really just throwing shit at the wall. Listen, I know it’s sucks. If we were the on the other end of the call we would be bitching too, maybe more so at the player. But that rule has been here for quite awhile. |

Personally have never had an issue with the rule. I’m fine with it.

I believe Thomas Jones had fumble with the Chiefs before?

I hadn't considered it this way, but he said the field is shared by the teams. The endzones are owned by the team. Accordingly the rules are different for the endzones than the field. His position is that the rule is consistent with the rest of the rules for the endzone. He said he was open to giving the other team the ball at the one yardline. I guess I agree with all of it. Don't fumble the ****ing football. |

I don't have a problem with the rule...until D-Rob inevitably does it. Then I'll hate the rule.

Chris Simms addressed this and the rule makes 100% sense in its current form.

This rule doesn't come into effect very often at all. I can't think of a great alternative that effectively punishes the team for fumbling out of the end zone.
The rules of the game already dramatically benefit offensive teams. |
