I thought they changed the rule? See: SB 52.You can't just make up rules as you go along. The ball moved when he hit the ground. As much as it sucks for us that isn't a catch.
Here's the play:
Ball doesn't move until AFTER it comes off the ground.
It looked to me like jamming it into his helmet caused the ball to dislodge.
No, it came off the ground, then moved when it jammed into his helmet:You can't just make up rules as you go along. The ball moved when he hit the ground. As much as it sucks for us that isn't a catch.
Made a few mistakes taking sacks but I’ll take it if he protects the football and doesn’t squeeze the ball into double covered WRs. That was the best game of Mac’s career.Mac doesn't appear.to.have a high football IQ. That's the problem.
I completely disagree. At the most important position we have a lower echelon QB. At the WR position we have a bunch of #3's. We just saw tonight how much a true number 1 means to an offence. Our o-line has been a mess all year and we'll likely need 2 new starting tackles next year. On D we have some nice pieces but need more talent at LB and will need to replace McCourty. You really think we are good enough to compete for a SB?Talent wise, we are good enough to compete with ANYONE, but it has to be a clean game in all facets. We need to focus on making the playoffs by the skin of our teeth and see what happens. I'll keep the faith but it doesn't really feel like our year. Next year after we move on from the majority of our free agents seems better.
I saw him reach for the endzone, the ball hit the ground, and IMMEDIATELY become dislodged. If it hadn't become dislodged, then the ball would've been securely held by HH when he rolled over. But when he rolled over he clearly didn't have possession of it.
It's the same idea as this play:
You HAVE to survive the ground.
And that happens when the ball is off the groundThat flip along the "vertical axis" of the ball is where he lost control imo
Bryant got penalized for the same kind of hit. No penalty. Should have been 1st down.Aghalor looks like he broke his left arm. That’s not going to help Mac at all.

That’s what I’m sayingI’m hoping Marcus Jones can be taught by Troy Brown how to be just that.
I’m ready for draft talk now!A Bills loss and its Draft talk.
I noticed that too. The play on fourth and forever at the end of the game. He stopped running his route. Then he had to compensate by stretching out.but we have "studs" like Agholor that Stops running mid route.
No, it came off the ground, then moved when it jammed into his helmet:
I still don’t understand what the heck that play was. I assume the point was for Meyers to attempt to run to the EZ? But instead he just fell down for no reason.Meyers catches a lot of balls, and then instantly goes to the ground. He went straight to the ground at the end with 2 seconds left and no one around him, waiting for someone to come up and touch him down.
Brady used to take bad sacks in the red zone. Mac played a very good game today. But Cousins was a touch better. More mobile and a bit more pocket presence.
