What’s up with the rainbow deep balls?  Cost us a TF earlier. If he throws it to DRob direct he was wide open. 

Went to the game because my son now goes to Louisville, and my main takeaway was that the Ole Miss fans need to get a hold upon their young fans. I thought I was at an LSU game. Drunk and obnoxious is an understatement. Saw at least 3 fist fights where the ole miss fan was being a horses ass until someone told them to STFU. Cops were working it hard last night. Weird because it was like at a quarter capacity in the stadium so everything was so visible all around. Girls dressed very nice, but one was so drunk she pee’d through her skirt and then fell over the seats in front of her when she stood up. An embarrassment for their fan base. And I never once thought of Ole Miss like that until now.

Also, Louisville looked bad so I wouldn’t put any weight into that victory.

NFL rules question. At the end of the Chargers game, a TD catch was overruled because the receiver did not maintain control of the ball through contact with the ground out of bounds (the continuation rule, correct?).  But in bounds and with control of the ball he had both feet in THEN his knee separately went down in bounds a whole move after the feet. DB had a hand in there and knocked it loose after the knee as they rolled out of bounds. Is the continuation required after a knee is down in bounds?  Just curious here, I didn’t see them even mention the knee also being down.

Too of toe = catch

Bottom of toe = no catch

What about bottom of 10 toes?  
= No catch apparently.

They aren't at all the same thing.  One is a player going to the sideline to complete the catch (toe drag), whereas the other is typically a player with his back or shoulder to the sideline.  The toe drag is just that.  It's a situation (as you know)  where the player literally drags his toe on the field making a catch.   But the toe/heel touch is completely different and it should be.  I saw the player that is bringing this up.   When dealing with a player completing a catch the toe touching followed by the heel is one process, its not a separate act.    With the players back or shoulders adjacent to the sideline if he leaps to make the catch, the entire foot must come down in bounds even if the toe touches first, the heel touching is continuous motion and if it touches out of bounds its an incomplete pass.   In the toe drag situation the heel never comes down but in the toe/heel touch, the heel does come down and therefore must be entirely in bounds.

I think this rule is confusing and unclear, it needs to be amended.  Part a of the rule interpretation says a toe drag is OK facing the field of play, but then says out of bounds if heel touches out, but the positioning of the player doesn’t change in part a or b. So if he dragged the toe backwards while going out of bounds and the heel never touched it is a fair catch???   The position of the player (facing the field of play) doesn’t change between part a and b, only a drag versus toe-heel. What does that mean, in the rule explanation, they don’t change the position of the player but the result is different. 

BUT... and here is my main problem, it clearly says toe in the singular form, and he had BOTH toes down in bounds. I suggest with both toes down, the toe-heel rule while falling backwards out of bounds did not apply.  Should not have been over-ruled in my opinion. 

Couldn’t happen for a worse franchise!  Kind of feels like bama winning. 

Pa-Leeze!  Brady don’t need s***.  The Patriots are probably the dirtiest team in the history of the NFL. Well, there is probably no probably about it. For years, cheating, lying, steroids, dirty play, etc., etc, etc, from players to coaches to front office to all of them!!!  Remind you if anyone?!?  I would rather see a Chiefs-Rams Super Bowl. Bring in some new blood!  

@WarTiger, what is the deal with the fair catch rule?  I have not seen it come into play this much. Probably because of the new kick off rule. But last week he never touch it then picked it up off 5 bounces and gets a penalty for advancing it. Seems odd since it is a live ball and never actually caught. There is no advantage to allow it to bounce (its an oblong ball) but I guess I can understand that interpretation. But then this week we muff it so it is a fumble, live ball, and we will can’t advance it but it wasn’t a penalty. If you recover it and can’t advance it then it should still be advanced to the 25. Seems like a poorly written rule or misinterpreted rule. What say you?

Forgive me if this has already been covered somewhere. 

they may win, but Dabo is an idiot. 

Why not double 7 at this point in the game???

If we do get the ball back, I want to see the Cox Wildcat again. Maybe 5 Th time is the charm!

Is this the greatest fake in the history of college football? Announce White as the QB, let him hand the ball off for 2 series, then bring in Jeremy. Brillant!

Maybe the fake was for JJs mental health...

Those delays are not JJs fault. Complete coaching BS getting the plays in late and then the sideline audible in very late. JJ is being thrown to the wolves like the rest of the QBs and skill positions players. 

Very disappointed in the offensive scheming. Players are probably able to accomplish something but the coaching looks like rec league 12 year old s***.
