This is where we gather to follow things on Game Day. Obviously, emotions tend to be high so if anyone gets a little crazy, the use of the “Mute” button is encouraged on anyone who may be annoying to you to control your experience and to allow the moderators to also enjoy the game.
At the same time, please take a deep breath before over-reacting for the sake of making this a pleasant experience for everyone.
Lastly, we have never allowed promoting the use of any illegal streaming. This is illegal and will be enforced by copyright holders, which puts this site at risk. DO NOT POST ANY LINKS to those platforms.
This also means, there absolutely cannot be any mention these platforms, spaces, special characters, etc. - so do not get creative in trying to work around this request.
If you do you will have your account suspended.
I do not have the means to deal with legal issues and have already been contacted previously, so this absolutely needs to be adhered to. If you see any illegal links, please report them so a mod can remove them.
Giving yourself up is when you take a knee or slide or otherwise stay on the ground with the desire to end the play. It has nothing to do with being on the ground or not attempting to advance the ball.
OK, you've lost me here. How can taking a knee "have nothing to do with being on the ground or not attempting to advance the ball"? It seems to me that that's pretty much 100% of what it has to do with.
There's nothing magical about knees. As far as I know a KR in the endzone could accept a touchback by falling flat on his back, if he really wanted to.
I know the rules in this case, which is apparently better than you. The player was not touched and should have been permitted to be out of bounds.
I am not talking about that play. I am talking about the final play of the game.
No, you clearly don't know the rules and you disagreed with my saying that the butt slide would never have happened. So, please just stop since you can't even follow the thread properly
A lot of people seem to have differing opinions on that final play where Sammy baked out of bounds and they ran the final two seconds off. I thought I remember seeing in another game this weekend (may have been college ball) that same kind of play, and ruled the same way. The way it was described then was that because he was moving back towards the line of scrimmage as he was going out of bounds, it counts as forward progress being stopped in bounds. That's definitely not the correct wording, but it was along those lines.

Rule 7 Section 4 Article 1 e: An official shall declare the ball dead and the down ended...when a runner is out of bounds, or declares himself down by falling to the ground, or kneeling, and making no effort to advance"
