ForceEight Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 2. I guess we'll never agree on the Holmes catch. Trust me, the one replay clearly shows the ball inside the middle of the white line. I am so sick and tired of this argument. It doesn't matter where the ball is until the receiver has possession. Are you trying to say that the moment a receiver touches a thrown pass, it's considered possession? If that were the case, every tipped pass that fell to the ground would be considered a fumble. He did not have possession of the ball, meaning that he did not have the ball completely caught, until after the ball was out of the endzone. I sincerely wish people would stop overlooking that. I really do. Make sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc. Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 3. Wait, aren't you the main proponent of the -- what was it you always like to say? -- oh yeah the "last punch rule"? You're not complaining about Ward and any penalties he might provoke are you? Because he's really just following your blueprint for success -- right? I don't get why people can't keep their issues straight when I'm talking to them. Let's start another list. 1. Ward is a master of baiting opponents into committing penalties. Do I like it? No. But do I blame Ward for doing it? No. Good for him. If you can get away with it, by all means... I blame the Ravens players for being stupid and letting Ward get them in such a way. 2. The "last punch" rule is generally accepted in the NFL. Unless a ref CLEARLY sees someone 'start' a fight, which they generally don't, they can only call what they see. And what they tend to see is the second punch. Again, do I like it? Not necessarily. But it's pretty accepted and pretty plainly enforced. So there's no complaining to be done. You know it's coming. 3. In conclusion. No, I am not complaining about Ward. I was EXPLAINING my comment to you because you acted like you have no idea what I am talking about, when I know you do. You know, I know, we all know that Ward is great at getting under his opponents' skin. So what I'm saying is that the last people to complain about Kemoeatu getting called for a "last punch" flag should be a Steelers fan, who so frequently benefits from it and Ward!
