Nice to hear the pundits talk about it.

Nothing will ever get changed though.

If you look it up, Goff himself said he was trying to figure out how it wasn't a fumble/TD

He also said it was a “great call”

Everyone can just have a nice chuckle and move on. Us Saints fan stuck holding the bag of flaming turds.

yep doesn't change anything. We have plenty of things to blame for that Loss but a clear Defensive touchdown when it was a touchdown game is a big momentum shift. NFL really doesn't care. They may offer apologies the week after bad calls and then not change a damn thing. That crew will be on a game next week probably in Baltimore.

We can almost expect a similar thing will happen to Shough and the touchdown will stand.

When I looked at the actual rule, it does appear that the call was right, maybe. I did not realize this part of the rule because I have never seen it applied before.

quote:

Item 1. Contact by Team B Player.

If contact by an opponent materially affects a passer after the passer begins his throwing motion, it is a forward pass if he passes the ball, regardless of where the ball strikes the ground, a player, an official, or anything else. When this occurs, intentional grounding rules do not apply.

When a passer is contacted by an opponent before beginning his throwing motion, the direction of the pass is the responsibility of the passer, and intentional grounding rules apply.

At that point the question becomes did he start his throwing motion before or after contact was made.

Hell, in the grand scheme of things Tyler Shough's fumble went more forward than Goff's " intended forward pass".

The question is what counts as throwing motion. Before this week, it has always seemed to be the arm going forward. That's the phrase said by broadcasts, booth officials and head officials announcing the call on the field: "The QBs arm was going forward". We've also seen many fumbles where the QB is hit when starting to raise his arm to throw and this has never been the ruling. Unless the rule changed this off season, then I have to believe it still requires an arm to be moving forward to make it an incomplete pass

It was a bullshite call. Not calling it a fumble because the QB had the "intention" of throwing it forward is the dumbest ruling ive ever heard of. At the end of the day though I love what I saw from this team. I think we can win this division.

Every strip sack prior to this one was always the same. The QBs are is moving backwards in a wind up and is hit knocking the ball loose. There was never any question about “intent” before. They pulled this loophole right out of their arse and decided this was the one time they would apply it.
