Getting closer. Had the refs not handed NE a win with the worst call of the year, I would be within 3 games.

I agree it's a head-scratcher rule, but it is a rule and I think it has been in place for a few years.

So here's a question. If someone catches the ball on the 20-yard line and runs and lands on the one without being touched and the ball crosses the goal line and then he bobles the ball after it hits the endzone is that a touchdown?

Same scenario if someone catches it on the 3-yard line

Question: where did you find this spread Viking? Renegade, can you refresh my memory on what our policy was regarding games that didn't have spreads posted by game time? Did we remove them from options we could choose for picks or did we go with another line? I just want to make sure that if there is a line posted that we are all using the same one so it's fair. Thanks!

I think they explained this as best they could in the video here:
NFL Catch Rule Could Change If Complaints Remain Consistent in Wake of Patriots-Steelers
He wasn't running with the ball, thus having already established possession, he was catching at/near the line and still in the process of gaining possession - a receiver has to follow through all the way to the ground. If he had caught it back at the 20 and run with it, it would have been a different call than if he was still trying to make that catch.

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill

If the spread isn't posted by game time, we said that game is unpick able.

They finally posted the opening spread, so I updated.

Sorry for the delay all!
