You are all wrong, the decision came from the stands…It was the mobThe key is them being in the shotgun. They're not taking a knee. Did they change the play? Likely. Were they going for it before the TO? Definitely.
A knee from the shotgun? Seriously? In the NFL? A knee from the shotgun? Not happening.
It was excruciating. When the raiders were up by 12 I felt that was a pretty good number to avoid a tie but when they kicked the field goal to make it 15 I was like uh oh. I think what happened at the end was a case of both teams wanted the satisfaction of knocking the other out of the playoffs. What would have been crazy would have been for the chargers to block the FG and take it to the house. I’m kinda torn on it tho. Yeah I’m glad the Steelers got in but they’ll more than likely get smoked in KC. Would have been good to see Ben finish his career with a WI am still reeling from how awesome that Raider Charger game was, can’t imagine the emotions the Steeler fans went through
Look at it the other way. Why should the offense get to keep the ball when they are careless with it near the goal line? Better be sure when you put those arms out
Well, the offense gets to keep the ball if the ball rolls out of bounds on every other area of the field. I do not like how the end zone is treated differently.
In my opinion, it makes sense that the defense has to recover the fumble for them to gain possession. I do not understand why the defense arbitrarily gains possession if the ball rolls through the end zone and out of bounds, but they don’t when the ball rolls out of bounds at any other yard line. Ultimately, I think a team should have to actually gain possession of the ball to earn possession.
If we go by the logic in your question, it would make more sense to award the defense the ball anytime the ball rolls out of bounds. I would rather have it be all that way or all the other way. I don’t like how there are different rules for the end zone than the field of play. I think that doesn’t make sense.
The endzone is always treated differently. If any play ends anywhere on the field, it's different than if the play ends in the endzone, right? A safety is 2 points and the ball...that rule is completely unlike any other rule in football.
I think you are looking for consistency, and I don't think that consistency matters. Just look at it as a punishment for being careless with the ball at the goal line or a reward for the defense making a play at the goal line. It doesn't have to match sideline fumble rules.
