Tuck Rule.

[Snake]

I know its a moot point but I just dont get this call. If he is getting rid of the ball because of pressure why is it not a grounding rule? There def was not a WR around and he was not out of the box. I dont get it. :confused5:

Dumbest rule ever.

How about the fact that he threw the incomplete pass behind the line of scrimmage?

Yeah I knew they'd get it back but I was waiting on the flag. Odd. Announcers didn't say anything about either.

the announcers were screaming tuck rule during the whole replay.

[Fireball77]

The announcers were sucktastic, that's why.

Hands down. Maybe I don't understand the rule but it looked like to me that he was trying to bring the ball down and "tuck" it, but the ball DIDN'T slip, it got knocked out by Diggs. It should've been ruled a fumble IMO.

Of course not...They were too wrapped up in the tuck rule...The reality is that he threw a pass backwards if they are going to call it an incomplete.

I thought it was a tuck that went horribly wrong as well, but meh, we won the game anyway. That it was blocked and fell behind the line is not a penalty...

yaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!! Mintal made his avatar a close up. I'm going to eat a bowl of Quaker Oats in honor of you, fine sir.

I just dont understand how if it was thrown forward it was not grounding and if it was thrown sideways it was not a fumble. I understand that the WR can try to tuck the ball if his arm is moving forward but if there is no WR around its still grounding if your in the box. They really need to take this grey rule out.

Diggs blocked the ball from what I saw. Once he touched the ball all bets were off as far as intentional grounding goes. It appeared to me that he tried to tuck the ball and take the sack, but did it too late and Diggs knocked the ball out of his hands before he got it fully tucked, which caused the refs to say arm coming forward and the reversal of the call on the field.

If I'm wrong, then you have a point...

Yea that would make since cause if it his a player then falls to the ground then its incomplete.

I never saw it hit anybody...It looked to me as if he were gonna throw, then decided to tuck and threw a backward pass, which shoulda resulted in a TO.
