PostGame Thread Patriots Lose to the Dolphins 15-10, Drop to 1-4

Ok so we actually agree then if it was part of his normal continuous motion then it is out of bounds. It's clear as day both in the rule and in the replay.

What we agree on is the foot is where he wanted it to be and it was in bounds.

 

[Jim Beankie]

But his foot WAS in bounds when it landed? Am I in the twilight zone here?

His heel was out of bounds, after the delay, and there for we have a touchdown.

The ball of foot + heel = entire foot. Imagine if a WR caught a pass on the sidelines and the heel landed first inbounds then followed (literally 1-2 hundredths of a second later like in Polk's case) by the ball of foot coming down oob. That's out of bounds.

 

[festy1986]

The heel was out of bounds.

And his toe wasn't.

@Ring 6 I suppose I'll accept your your sincerest apologies. I take no great pleasure for this.

That's a great point. Catch.

 

[Ring 6]

And his toe wasn't.

The whole step needs to be in bounds

 

[festy1986]

This is the same league that still doesn't know what constitutes a catch.

Toes in, since it's in the end zone, plain is broken, what happens after is relevant.

TD.

 

[Ring 6]

That's a great point. Catch.

So if you land with half of your foot in and half of your foot out of bounds you think that’s a catch? Seriously?

 

[festy1986]

There is no step. Plain broken.

 

[Ring 6]

TD.

That’s not how it works. You have to complete the catch

 

[festy1986]

Why would half your foot out of bounds count as a catch? That isn't what happened here.

 

[PatsFan2]

I wonder if that missed toe tap gets Polk benched for the year like it did Boutte last year??

 

[Ring 6]

The plane has to be broken WITH POSSESSION. He doesnt have possession because he made the catch out of bounds

 

[Ring 6]

It’s EXACTLY what happened here.

His heel is out of bounds after he established possession in bounds.

Wrong. I gave no idea why where he wanted it to be is a thing, but the foot landed out of bounds.

 

[Ring 6]

His heel is out of bounds after he established possession in bounds.

He doesn’t establish possession until his feet (the while foot) comes down in bounds.

 

[festy1986]

It’s EXACTLY what happened here.

What happened here is his heel landed out of bounds after he broke the plain with possession.

What you previously described was a simultaneous heel and toe out of bounds scenario.

 

[PatsFan2]

They just announced that Peppers was arrested Friday night for an assault and drug possession. WTF

Doing everything possible to "lock up" no pun the number 1 Overall in 25.
