Thursday night Houston at Jets

[steel dino]

Ballgame
Jets were surprisingly favored by 2.5 sooooo
I gave the points figured it was a trap

Good play Charlie..
Their not called wise guys for nothing!

It's crazy that I see this multiple times per year in college and the NFL, a player drops the ball just as they cross the goal. It may have been Texas A&M that did it last week but got away with it when replay showed the ball barely crossed the goal.

Yeah, what’s the hurry? It’s like the sooner you drop the ball, the cooler you are… until you make an *** of yourself.

Id say that kid may never drop another football ever... But remember that Plax spiked a live ball as a rookie then did the same thing a couple years later

Now with Wilson, they are saying that the foot and shin of the same leg count. I would understand if it was the knee. They always say that 1 knee = 2 feet so that makes sense. The elbow would make sense too. But the shin? That feels like the same thing as tapping the same foot twice. Stupid that one counts and the other doesn't.

If the expectation is to discern the difference between a shin being down vs. a knee being down, then we have become way too dependent on replay and are micro-managing officiating.

I remember him doing it as a rookie, I don’t remember him doing it a second time.

Did Wilson bobble the ball at the end of the play? looks like the ball moved a bit.

Few do, because the Steelers went to the league after the first time and argued that intentionally spiking the ball should be covered under the " giving oneself up" rule.. he wasnt trying to advance the ball anymore.. and tge league agreed...
so the second time Cowher brought that up and the officials ruled it a non fumble... so it was less memorable.

Like how everyone remembers the first tuck rule call, but nobody remembers the first time they didnt call it after it was revoked

Basically the rules are:
Two feet (but not 1 foot twice)
1 of any other body part except hands...

So i guess grabbing a ball on the 1 while on one leg and hopping 99 yards into the end zone then dropping the ball would not be a TD, just an incomplete pass ... but if a player leaps for a ball at the sideline, faceplants inbounds but the rest of his body lies out of bounds, it is a catch

Stupid NFL logic

I am not sure if there is wording for a "football move" or not. I think someone should catch a pass hop 5yrds downfield and see what happens

 

[Steelmann]

he was on the field a lot

just not many targets

Yea…..I barely noticed…….those little trick and treaters were keeping me busy handing out the treats. Great costumes this year!

If the Steelers were playing I would have had to do the Mormon thing on Halloween and keep the house dark.

Houston plays Detroit next and then at Dallas.......

Last night, Tank Dell was their #1wr, make no mistake.


Salute the nation

I was wondering how he would do as the top target for Stroud

well he held his own

Stroud is not having a great year and has been sacked a **** ton of times

Texan fans were happy as hell when they got Diggs, but I think he hurt the passing game. well him and the OL leaking like the titanic
