So if the defense recovers that ball and returns it for a score, you want to screw over the defense by ruling that an incomplete pass? Makes no sense. You are coming at this from wanting to "fix" the outcome of that particular 2 point conversion, which is not how rules should be made. That have to have a universal application that aims to make the most fair outcome the most likely outcome.

This is just sour grapes from a Rams fan. Just because you were on the losing end of a rare situation doesn't mean you should be looking to change the rules. It's weak sauce. Just because your coach is acting like a baby doesn't mean you have to support him.
How many times do I have to say I was ok with the rules as they were on Thursday, ok with the officiating, ok with the outcome, and ok with not changing the rule going forwards. Perhaps you should read your previous comment that my post was in response to.

Yes. I'd be ok with a defense not being able to recover and/or return the incomplete pass - at any point during the game. If this had happened on a routine play with any team's offense inside their own 10-yard line and an opponent had picked up the ball most fans wouldn't want that play to be ruled as a turnover. Again, I won't be angry if they leave the rule as it is.

No sour grapes and no defence of McVay. Perhaps you should give Soulfish his blinkers back. SMH.

Well, one was a blown call (missed PI) and the other was the right call (Hail Mary). The hail mary play was another instance of fans not knowing how to properly apply the rules of the game, and complaining about it despite the fact that there was clear video evidence showing that it was the right call.
You STILL think the Fail Mary was a legitimate play? SMH. I'm going to wish you well and move on.

Still isn’t a fumble no matter what you hear people shout. This play was a lateral pass thus a live ball. The rule works as it is designed and isn’t going anywhere over a one in a million type play.
yep. A backwards pass has always been a live ball.

Real question here.

Was there a whistle prior to Charb touching it?

I honestly couldn’t tell (crowd noise).
Be stated multiple times here, and in the media as it relates.

In this instance the whistle doesn’t matter.
The rule is in place to protect from inadvertent or crowd/ unofficially initiated whistleblowers, and only is in force for very specific circumstances.
This was one of those circumstances.

Now that it’s garnered national attention, many are calling for a rule change. (McVay leading the way)

This short vid explains it well.

Well, we have seen what happens when the NFL and rules committee tries to define every situation, overly worded confusing language and subject to more on field and player and coaches understanding in real time how to enforce it. Especially when it comes to a rule involving possession or exchange of possession, like catching and what constitutes a catch or what constitutes a fumble and recovery. They have problems with those two still. Now McVay wants to change the rules that involve both or all three of those elements in one play.

The rule as it stands pretty clear, they got it right, the bitch was it took time, well the other bitch was that it didn't fall into the Rams favor.

Not sure based on one play the Rules committee and Owners as well as the league want to open up this can of worms at the moment.

I think it was more legitimate than the 2019 Rams playoff pass interference no call in New Orleans.
I agree. I have never disputed that the play in the Rams @ Saints game was an obvious foul, or that the officials blew the call. I'm fine with being able to challenge a PI or PF call that either was, or wasn't, made. I also don't think it's hard for replay to reverse an obvious missed call. It's a lot harder to reverse something that has already been called.

It was the correct call. Doesn't surprise me that you have no clue what you are talking about.

I think the reason they allow the play to continue beyond the whistle, is because fans have used their own whistle in games and intfered with a game.

I've seen it twice, both times the home team got an advantage from it.
