Which part of the sentence isnt true? Im curious why you think Rodgers responsible for the Defense.Mothman wrote:

That's usually obvious.Did he go down intentionally or did he just trip?
Obviously the difference in that play was that Nelson wasn't going to the ground to make the catch. He caught the ball, had both feet down, possession of the ball and then the defender knocked it out of his hands so it should be a td. Now if he had been going to the ground while making the catch, then it's an entirely different story and it would not have been a catch.Mothman wrote: In other words: cheating.
While we're on the subject of those insidious packers: what's up with Jordy Nelson getting awarded a catch on that TD?
I'm convinced NFL officials no longer have any idea what constitutes a catch by rule.
Its pretty clear he was 'Trying' to pop up in time to still advance the ball, the fact that he failed at doing so hardly constitutes 'Cheating', in fact, it doesnt even help the Packers because it gets blown down.Mothman wrote:

The "cheating" occurred when intentionally going to the ground, waiting, and then trying to advance the ball. That's not taking advantage of a rule. that's breaking one. It's not the same thing.
He's not.Jordysghost wrote:Which part of the sentence isnt true? Im curious why you think Rodgers responsible for the Defense.
of course you do because you are a packer fan and there is a certain amount of emotionally fixed deniability that comes with being a fan....but to an outsider who can just look at it from an analytical perspective,the past 4 games have been the worst defensive performance since before the lombardi era. the injuries are still piling up.Jordysghost wrote: I hear you, but I think its more then just a statistical possibility at this point, but again, the injuries to the secondary are just getting overwhelming.

right? what am i missing here? unless the dive is just to gain a first down or td...dude is downMothman wrote:
Maybe they didn't blow the whistle right away and he thought the play was still live. He wasn't really "cheating", they didn't allow him to advance the ball. Can't blame a guy for trying - can you?Mothman wrote:

Key word there is 'usually'. I'm all in favor of removing any judgement calls that they can. Guess I should have said it requires the refs to make 'another' judgement call.Mothman wrote:Yes, which they're required to do constantly, in every game.
That's usually obvious.
Fine. He was trying to "gently bend the rules" to gain an advantage...Purple Reign wrote:Maybe they didn't blow the whistle right away and he thought the play was still live. He wasn't really "cheating", they didn't allow him to advance the ball. Can't blame a guy for trying - can you?
Not according to the rule book - that is just your personal opinion.Nunin wrote:right? what am i missing here? unless the dive is just to gain a first down or td...dude is down
the rule speaks directly to intent. there is no other way to interpet it. so, when a qb dives to the ground before taking a hit so that he doesn't have to take a hit his intent is to be down without contact....giving himself up.Purple Reign wrote: Not according to the rule book - that is just your personal opinion.
