Brentastic Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 (edited) I've been watching the stats on the internets. Initially, it showed that he fumbled and was recovered by someone else for the score. Now it shows Edge TD. Which is it? E2A: I'm talking about the first TD for ARI Edited October 7, 2007 by Brentastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystykoekaki Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Prolly a score, it's halftime now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHook Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 (edited) fumbled into the end zone dubiously recovered by Arizona for a TD. You'll have to see it. STL looked like they recoverd it, but a guy jumped in and took it from him and the refs gave the Cards the TD.

Roo Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 I am wondering the same thing. The highlights showed it to be a fumble recovery TD by a Cardinal not named Edge. But all the stats on the internet and on the tickers are saying Edge has a TD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brentastic Posted October 7, 2007 Author Share Posted October 7, 2007 fumbled into the end zone recovered by Arizona for a TD. So, it was not Edge who scored? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulOttCarruth Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Looks like they switched the official scoring from fumble recovery for TD to Edge 6 yd. TD run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHook Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Looks like they switched the official scoring from fumble recovery for TD to Edge 6 yd. TD run. that would be good for me. But thats not what they showed on hightlights earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brentastic Posted October 7, 2007 Author Share Posted October 7, 2007 Looks like they switched the official scoring from fumble recovery for TD to Edge 6 yd. TD run. This makes sense. First, it showed as a fumble on the zero yard line and the only a person who can recover a fumble for a gain is the player who lost the fumble. If he fumbled on the zero maybe the tip of the ball reached the goaline prior to the fumble. By rule, another player couldn't have recovered for a TD.

I'm pretty sure that's only true in the final 2 minutes of a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulOttCarruth Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 that would be good for me. But thats not what they showed on hightlights earlier. The replay official wasn't very clear on the ruling. All he said was the play stood as called. Touchdown. But he didn't say who scored it. It looked like the correct call was that James didn't fumble and was down at the one yard line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roo Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Yeah pretty sure that's not true. Edge did not score this TD - the stats are messed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justin Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 CBS has switched the scoring back to reflect it that Edge did NOT score the TD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grits and Shins Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 It should NOT be an Edge TD. Edge's elbow was down WELL before the goal line and then the ball squirted out into the EZ where another Arizona player recovered the ball. The ref just said TD stands. I would be very surprised if tomorrow it is an Edge TD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grits and Shins Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 There was more than 2 minutes left in the game which means that the ball can be advanced after a fumble by any player ... not just the one that fumbled the ball. If there had been less than 2 minutes left in the game the ball would have been placed on the half yard line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grits and Shins Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 If his elbow was down, he was down. It shouldn't have been ruled a fumble. I agree ... but it appeared as if the ball was loose on the way down. It did not squirt out until Edge was down though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 I'm not saying I don't believe you but logically that doesn't make sense. It's the Raider rule. No intentional fumbling of the ball forward . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL Fan Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Man, you guys thought it was confusing for you! I was there and we never got a good explanation of WHAT happened because the crowd was booing the ref so loud when he said the play stands that we couldn't hear his explanation.
