Its non-sense and a copout BS call. Both rules should be outlawed as well as someone else said above, write an accurate definition of a catch. It should be a tough penalty for fumbling in the end zone. Happened last year with the Redskins and Giants, too. RG3 fumbled just before halftime and it changed the momentum of the game. If the defense makes a play before the player crosses the goal line that defense needs to get rewarded for making the play.
Why should the defense get a break? If anything the offense gets rewarded when a player barely crosses the goal line and loses the football. If the NFL was really playing fair a running back would need to complete the process of the play if the ball gets knocked out at the point of crossing the goal line it needs to become a fumble.
Nonsense…There is nothing arbitrary about the rule…The field has boundaries, and one of them is the end zone…The offense has to cross the goal while controlling the ball…What is so unfair about that?
Some of us like it when a team has to do things right to make a TD. We have no problem giving a defense two points when the offense loses the ball out of the back of the endzone… yet when the offense loses the ball going forward through the endzone we should freak out? The game is already slanted enough towards the offense, quit making it easier.
Just hold onto the damn ball. I thought Calvin Johnson got robbed on his and I think Dez got robbed on his… but how can it be changed without making everything a catch? There is already a rule like this for ball advancement. Been on the book a long time.
Because nothing else is different in the end zone, right? Or are there other rules that change how things work in the end zone compared to how they work on the rest of the field? Offense keeps the ball which should go back to the LOS from previous play, loss of down or loss of yardage and down. If it was a 4th down same thing but with a change of possession. Nothing wrong with the rule. Fumbling the ball forward and into the endzone would be a touchdown if the offense recovered it.
Wanna fumble the ball into the endzone? Then you better recover it or else. I like that aspect of the rule. Absolutely unfair to give the ball to the defense.
The ball should be given back to the offense if no one recovers. The ball should be placed at the spot where it was fumbled. You can actually advance a fumble, only if the ball is fumbled backwards. So, if he fumbles it forward in the endzone, you can still score a TD. Yeah, it makes sense. The object is to get the ball to the end zone, not the one yard line. If you lose the ball outside the end zone, too bad for you. The defense held you out. You screwed up, you pay. Jeez, trying to change yet another rule?
What is unfair about it? You should be punished for fumbling so close to the endzone. How about you hold onto the dang ball! My God, the NFL is already becoming so watered down. Just stop with all the rule changes already. So what are they going to do, place it at the 1?
Keep it as is. If a guy is lousy enough to cough it up and it rolls out of the EZ, there should be no benefit for the offense. If you lose the ball through the holy grail of scoring, you lose possession. Intentionally fumbling is a good way to lose the ball. Like what is considered a catch, offensive holding and pass interference to me it seems by definition of the rule that these two fouls could be called on almost every play from scrimmage so to have them arbitrarily called every once in a while has more of an influence of the outcome of games than the fumble out of the end zone rule.
NFL will do nothing about this until it affects the patriotd. Then there will be a rule chane. By the way anyone know why the Patriots played the least amount of teams coming off bye weeks since Goodell became commish? The end zone is not neutral territory and fumbles are treated the same as kickoffs.
On a kickoff the kicking team has possession until the receiving teams fields the ball. If it goes out of the end zone the kicking team is deemed to have relinquished possession. The most unfair rule in football is the challenge limit.
A coach cannot challenge obvious errors because the officials were so bad that he successfully challenged multiple bad calls and is now out of challenges.
A better way would be to only remove lost challenges. Start with 2. Get them right and keep the ability to challenge. That penalizes bogus challenges and affords an advantage for smart coaching staffs over desperate ones. That is 20 yards from the endzone, not 80 yards. Every team is subject to that rule therefore it IS fair. Fairness is equality, and equality is fairness. Every team shares an equal chance of that play occurring. Unfair would be some guy not being called for a PI on a toss in the endzone.
If the rule is ignored for one player, and the flag is thrown for another, THEN they have a complaint. We should point out that the RB needs to work on retaining possession of the ball better and the coaches need to coach them better on fundamentals. Log In Register. Cal Golden Bear Sports Forums.

Obviously, for this to happen a pass has to be completed, then the receiver who caught the ball and gained full possession has to fumble and the defense has to recover.
In American football the offense cannot advance the ball if it recovers its own fumble on fourth down, or in the last two minutes of a half, unless the ball is recovered by the fumbler there are no such restrictions in Canadian football.
In basketball, dribbling is bouncing the ball on the floor continuously with one hand at a time.
