jaxfactor Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Did anyone see this? I didn't see the replays but someone in my league is bitching that McNabb should get credit for a TD pass as it was a continuous play. Was this a lateral or an actual fumble? The scoring at NFL.com says it was a 37 yard fumble recovery by Buckhalter for a TD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexgaddis Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I don't think that gets credited to the QB after it is lateralled... How did they score the play when Moss lateralled to Moe Williams a few years back? I don't remember C-pep getting credited with a TD pass...

Avernus Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I really didn't believe Reggie Brown had the ball long enough for it to be considered a reception... from the side, far away and rear angle, it appears he controlled the ball and planted to feet..then fumbled it right into Buckhalters hand... but he bobbled the ball the whole time, if you get any view other than right in front of him, you'd think he caught it.... it should be a TD reception by Buckhalter IMO..

On the contrary, the "Moss Play" as we refer to it WAS credited to Culpepper as a TD pass. Moss didn't get anything as he lateralled to Mo Lewis for the TD. Mo Lewis got credit for the rushing TD after the lateral. Being that the ball did not hit the ground, it was one continuous play so Culpepper got credit for the TD. This sucks! I was beating the 1st place team in one league by 26. Now, if given credit for the TD, McNabb will pick up a minimum of 12 points for that play. This guy I'm playing has all the luck in the world. Everything he touches turns to gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The announcers even asked if that was considered a designed play or simply a fumble recovery for a TD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theeohiostate Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 McNabb should not get credit, the play was ruled a fumble, therefore it's a fumble. That's why to NFL reviews questionable plays on Tuesday. Just because it was ruled a fumble doesn't mean it was. I've reviewed the play several times, and it's clear Brown never controlled the ball and it was tipped to Buck. So it should be a TD pass to Buck from McNabb.

AtomicCEO Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 It was definitely a fumble. I watched it several times, and the ball was knocked out of his hands... there was clearly no deliberate effort to lateral it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgot about that little tidbit. My suggestion for Jaxfactor then, tell your owner to not get his panties in a bunch until an official ruling.

I agree it wasn't a lateral, but he never had possession of the ball to begin with, so it could not be a fumble, it was more along the lines of a tipped ball, just not in the traditional since. He never came down with the ball, had two feet on the ground and made a football move, therefore it's impossible to say he caught the ball.

reddogs2020 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I think he caught the ball, started to lateral it, hesitated because he realized he wasn't putting enough umph on it, and then swatted it in Bucks direction. Fumble. Fumble recovery TD. No TD for McNabb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azazello1313 Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 as there any sort of rule language as far as what exactly constitutes a "continuous play"? i still don't think brown had possession of the ball. like if buck didn't catch it and it hit the ground, i think the official blows it incomplete, or the skins challenge and it becomes incomplete. if brown didn't have possession then obviously it becomes a TD pass from mcnabb to buck.

That's how I see it too Az. If Buck wasn't around the play and the ball hit the turf, I'm sure replay would show Brown didn't control the rock and it'd been an incomplete pass. The only ruling that makes since is a TD pass for McNabb to Buck for 58 yards (I think that was the distance) . I don't know if the NFL cares about correcting the call or not, but if they do review it, I'm sure they'll find the same result. But, then again, McNabb is black.
