Considering this version of football is a take off of rugby and not the other version of football, I don't really get these posts.
IMO, for it to be a touchdown the ball should have to completely cross over the line and remain in control of the player all the way to the ground. You know, he could like touch the ball down or something...
dv7, no disrespect to your other football posts, this is one of your dumbest.
The situations in which a ball crosses the goal line in soccer and football are completely different. In soccer, it's just a ball going over a line with two hands and maybe a body or a foot at the line trying to stop it.
In football, the ball is obscured by the hand(s) of the ball carrier and any number of the other 21 people on the field trying to get to the ball. In other words, it's much easier for an official to see any part of the ball cross the goal line rather than determine if the entire ball crossed the goal line.
they have to get rid of the defensive holding/illegal hands to the face being 5 yards AND a auto first down. has to be 5 yards replay the down. I can't remember a week where i've seen so many questionable calls on this and it totally bails the offense out
so as i say that the saints have had 2 of those calls on this drive, the second being really bad imo
I feel like I remember dv7 complaining about this same rule last year. May have been someone else but think it was dv7.
Refs are ruining the TV experience. Way too many calls is bogging things down.
It was probably me. I have thought the rule was stupid for a long time now.
I think it happened when a QB jumped over the pile and outstretched his hands with the ball to break the plane of the goal line only to pull his hands, and the ball back and be tackled at the 2. TOUCHDOWN! How stupid is that? He didn't even try to keep the ball in the end zone and was still rewarded. So dumb.

It is odd to me that you can reach the tip of the ball on the goal line, but can also catch the ball falling out of bounds in the endzone while dragging two feet in and also scoring.
So do you want to change the forward progress rule as well?
Not odd at all. Part of the ball crossed the goal line in both cases.
Can we all take a minute to laugh at that last sack?
