HE WASN'T OUT OF BOUNDS!!!". I already said they made the right call, I am just disappointed in what the rule actually is. But like I said, forget it, move on, I can't win here. If it happened against some other team, maybe. LOL Your "specifics of a rule" are referring to a black-and-white rule. What's to win? He was OUT OF BOUNDS. And to the rest of the world, I can still see the brilliant JCM24's posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lines are there so you know, Chalk is OUT.

It would have been such a nice catch, so it's a stupid rule that you have to catch a ball to have it be a catch. And the Robbie Gould field goal! OMG, the refs calling it missed just because he missed it is such a joke. Edited October 29, 2012 by Steve9347 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamshack Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Oct 29, 2012 -> 11:32 AM) But I don't know how this even goes against the spirit of any rule. Out of bounds is out of bounds. Period. No, you're absolutely right. I was more referring to the other example they were discussing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you wont read what Steve writes, but if he is quoted you will see what he wrote in the quote There used to be some subjectivity in what was in bounds via the force-out rule. There were too many complaints that the refs weren't being consistent, so the rule was changed and now it's 100% objective. In a game whose TV ratings are fueled by massive amounts of gambling, the NFL is going to make rules LESS subjective, not MORE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see any way to have a logical rule about the boundaries of the playing field where that play is ruled a catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoodAsGould Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 (edited) Well now that we have 2 pages or so stating that being out of bounds is a good rule going to talk about the Bears again. Little concerned that 2 weeks in a row they let a receiver go up the middle of the field wide open, last week Calvin just happened to drop the ball. I know every good team has some ugly games and in the NFL a win is a win but I hope the Bears take a game like this and make some necessary improvements and I hope Tice improves as the season goes along with play calling.... it was criminal that we didn't run more in first half when every Forte carry was going for at least 6 yards.

Yeah, better that we played like this at home because it probably allowed us to still win, whereas if we go out like that on the road we probably lose.

witesoxfan Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 It's amazing how quickly the NFC regained dominance in the football world. It wasn't but 2 years ago that the NFC was still the stepchild. Now I'm not even sure I'd take the Texans over any of those top 4 NFC teams, and I probably wouldn't take them against the Packers either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
