Then explain this!

This was taken prior to the ball hitting the ground.

By rule, once a player calls a fair catch, he can not be interfered with until after the ball hits the ground!

The ball is clearly not on the ground, and he is clearly being interfered with.

This isn't even debatable. It is obvious!

This is just proof positive that you have no ability to be objective. The photo in the thread shows that he was touched before the ball hit the ground----which by rule is interference. Keep drinking the orange kook-aid and ignore the facts!

There is no arguing the Broncos won the game. But any team can win a game when its gift wrapped.

Wow. That's fair catch interference. I was thinking it at first but nothing was going our way anyways, but by the book that's fair catch interference.

How can you tell he is touched there, the Bronco Player is behind him.

I just watched the play about 15 times, Todd Devoe does not touch Troy Brown until the ball hits the ground. Besides that, he is behind him.

He muffs the kick, and right as the ball hits the ground, Devoe falls on top of Brown. That is not fair catch interference at all, and you all are about the biggest bunch of whining cry babies I have ever heard of.

***Bronco Freak*** · 01-18-2006, 02:25 PM

Devoes left arm wraps around Browns left arm, AFTER the ball has made contact with the ground, and BOTTOM LINE - in no way did the contact create the fumble.

You're all acting like a bunch of babies, and should be ashamed of yourselves.

Much like the fumble through the end zone, that call could have gone either way.

I dunno, it kinda looks like Devoe actually hit the ball before it hit the ground.
