Let break down the "fumble into the end zone" thing for you.
Do you agree that the end zone is a special area of the field different from the rest of the field of play? Are there other rules that are different in the end zone that are different than elsewhere on the field?
A player who runs 99.99 yards and fumbles into this special area of the field carries with it a special infraction. You have to get the ball over the demarcation line into this special area in your possession. If you don't, since this is a special area of the field and not the regular field of play, a different, more serious penalty is applied.
Maybe you don't like the penalty. That's fine but the team committing the infraction should be rewarded for committing it.
If you don't like the rule, don't fumble the ball. There's a reason Belichick coaches NE players not to stretch for the end zone.Tell me where there is another rule where a team gets the ball deep in the other teams' side of the field and then loses the ball because it happens in the end zone rather than just outside the end zone. Name just one play where the result is similar. Where if it happens on the one inch line, the offense keeps the ball and if it crosses the plane that they lose the ball. Seriously, I cannot think of one other play just like that.
And in many cases, it is just a case of dumb luck if the ball bounces out of bounds in the end zone or outside the end zone.
That doesn't matter. On a safety you get two points and there's a free kick.

If the rule is you have to stand on your head and spit nickles if you fumble out of the end zone, it is what it is. Take better care of the ball next time.

So does BB support this rule or not?Belichick doesn't teach people to stretch in the end zone because he supports the rules. In fact, he is very vocal about a lot of rules he disagrees with. He teach his players to best play within the rules that are the books whether he agrees with them or not.
Garbage, like the Sea Of HandsWhat did they call that other one? The Holy Roller?
Young Brady was definitely more likeable than old Brady. I blame Gisele.As much as I loved #12 when he was with the Pats, he now seems to have morphed into another media w..re. The need for attention, any attention will do, outweighs common sense. This seems to be a trend among the rich and famous lately.
I've never had a problem with that rule but I have seen it discussed before, probably here on PatsFans.The ball probably should be either where the player fumbles the ball rather than where it goes out of bounds or back to the previous spot. I still don't get the logic of that rule that if you fumble ball out of bounds through the end zone that you should lose possession.
I got the news about Bias from a police detail that I knew and I remember it like it was yesterday. I was in a vehicle and as I passed him by on the morning after the draft he yelled "Len Bias is dead" as I passed him. I was in shock.By the 90's, the game was more antiseptic, and the league watered down.
I'm not belittling the Bulls and Lakers, simply pointing out that if you didn't screw up (like Ainge did letting Posey go in '08) doing a threepeat is much easier today.
Nobody repeated once after we did in '68-69, until Len Bias dropped dead in his dorm the night we drafted him.
Especially when you see the ferocity of the competition, what the Celtics did winning eight straight world championships is the most impressive team accomplishment in sports history.
And that's not hyperbole.
I was actually disappointed in that kick. I was beyond sick of the NFCWide right

I like the idea that if you fumble the ball out of the end zone then you deserve to be punished for that fumble. Giving the team another chance doesn't work for me. I look at it the same way as I do the OT changes. If you can't stop the other team, or you stop yourself, then you can't complain.
Every single fumble literally can be the difference of the bounce of the ball.I have real problem with it because it literally can be the difference of the bounce of the ball.
