I'll agree it wasn't a home town call. On the replay, Cox was so very close to that "imaginary line", but rarely is that one not called on an offense.

Relax Bro, I was just joking. It WOULD have eliminated this debate.

It was a prayer fricking heave, and I really don't give a shite about the fricking dictionary rule ace, it was just that he fricking heaved it just to avoid a safety and the refs make most calls on interpretations and they just did not make the call. He got lucky as hell!

+1. And to the guy who has now typed 18 times that it wasn't a safety, I got your point.

I thought so too,but,unfortunately he was outside the tackle box and threw passed the line of scrimmage.NO PENALTY.IT WAS A GOOD NO CALL.It doesn't matter what he was doing or seeing if those two things happened,it's a legal play.

Note to Alem: get there 1/2 second sooner.


note to refs, #84 for us is not an offensive player. note this next time an OL is tackling him.

Tigeritaville - Man, this is one bad thread. Did you really watch the game? #49 was within 5 or 6 yards of the ball. End of that discussion. Your second point about Shepard (notice only one p) is ignorant. He doesn't know the playbook. We took two timeouts just for Shepard because he didn't know the plays that we were running.

If this was the NFL circa 1994, that would have been "in the grasp"

should been grounding. he wasn't even looking.

THis is crazy talk.

Should Flynn have been called for grounding when he tossed the ball over his head on the fake FG against SC???

All you have to do is get the ball across the line of scrimmage. period.

In addition there were receivers in the area.

ergo - no grounding.

It sucks, sure - he got lucky as hell - but them's the breaks.

football is known for bad bounces and good/bad luck..

Actually, you have to give the qb some credit for having the presence of mind to TRY something - anything - to avoid the safety. If he holds on to it a safety is assured. Therefore he had nothing to lose by throwing up a prayer. It worked - he got it far enough in the right direction.

Sort of like a SS in baseball making a diving stop behind second base and just tossing the ball back over his shoulder to get a double play.
