He slid short

[pmedic920]

Better not give it to them

 

[Hawknight]

No chains needed..it's clear

 

[pmedic920]

It’s where they begin slide

 

[kidhawk]

Hate to say I thought he made it

It’s supposed to be where they give up and begin slide

 

[Torc]

It’s where they begin slide

Only if he slides feet first? I think?

exactly he was giving himself up shouldn't it be where he began to give himself up? gene saying now though that it should be where the ball is.

He didn’t slide he dove and his knee contacted the ground with the ball beyond the first down. At least that’s what I saw

This is what I was thinking, but wasn't sure. I think it has to be a feet first slide.

So, when the quarterback gives himself, is the spot where the ball is when he starts to go down, or where the ball is when his knee hits? I thought it was where he starts to give himself up!

100% SAME... BUT... apparently not... lol

I thought the same but I guess it doesnt work that way when he isnt sliding feet first. Apparently. Certainly not a lot of consistency from the NFL

Legacy overturn

 

[Smellyman]

yeah I though they got the rule wrong. it is down the second where he gave himself up. not when knee down

 

[Smellyman]

He didn’t give himself up. He dove for the first

they now treat diving same as sliding, when it is a qb

 

[bigskydoc]

He didn’t give himself up. He dove for the first

Then he wasn’t down as he wasn’t contacted. If that’s the rule, then we should have hit the f out of him after he was down

 

[pmedic920]

I saw the dust in the turf flying for at least a yard

I interpret that as a slide not a dive but I’m not the official, I’m a Homer

Bad call IMO

 

[Seahawks Guy]

Think of all the times a QB has dove for a TD. They don't call him down when he starts his dive. The QB is only down when he gives himself up if he slides feet first.

 

[rcaido]

Yeah it should be where he gave himself up. It's been like that for couple years now. I didn't like the change
