NFL: ***Offical Week 1 NFL Gameday Thread***

Vikings fan.....but that rule screwed the Lions out of a touchdown. Rule doesn't seem fair.

If a running back breaks the plane of the goal line, and he then fumbles it when he hits the ground, it is still a touchdown, right? Why should a reception be different? Just doesn't seem right.

Ponder already with the deer in the headlights act.

The receiver needs to complete the catch. The runningback already has possession.

What is going on? There have been 3 safeties already!

Jets 2 - Bucs 0
Steelers 2 - Titans 0
Chiefs 7 - Jags 2

It wouldn't matter if the running back was bobbling the ball as long as he had hold of it when he crossed the goal line.....as the receiver did in this case. If the running back crosses the goal line with the ball, hits the ground and then fumbles it.....it's still a touchdown, and he only did the same thing the receiver did. Once the ball crosses the plane in someone's hands, it should be a touchdown.....the ground should never affect it, imo.

The receiver needs to have possession before it can be a touchdown. The receiver doesn't have possession until they come down with the ball.

Not to mention, the Lions sure are leaving points on the field today.

Just think how many more yards Peterson would have had last year if he didnt get tackled for a loss all the time.

 

[BallSoHard4Cy]

Julio Jones, Dwayne Bowe, Marshawn Lynch, and Lamar Miller are killing me right now.

The Lions are still the Lions, but Ponder is still Ponder. Will be interesting to see how this game unfolds

Two squads attempting to lose, while the best player in the NFL at his respective position (1 per team) tries to single-handedly carry everyone else

If the Lions weren't the Lions they would be winning this game by about 3 scores right now.

Finally some life from the Bears offense.

Reggie Bush is still fast guys

Yep. Just burned the entire Viking defense.
