Yeah, I'm not a big fan of that rule either. Think it should go back to the offensive team at the spot of the fumble?
Why would it go back to the offense?

Whoever thought it was a good idea to make determining a completed catch as difficult and confusing as possible should be immediately tarred and feathered. The only question should be do you have control of the ball with two feet or some other part of the body aside from the hands in bounds.I think they need to just tweak the possession rule, when it comes to a catch. Control of the ball? Two feet down(or another non-hand, body part)? That should establish possession, and therefore makes it a catch. Anything after that is a fumble. I don't care about "the process of the catch", or "performing a football move". Those things are too subjective. Two feet and control. That's cut and dried. If the ball starts to move after that, it's a fumble. That's my opinion, anyway.
Richardson is going to sell the Panthers http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/...thers-owner-jerry-richardson-selling-nfl-team
It's going to be an interesting sale, to be sure. I'm curious to see how it all pans out.Smart to get out before the really nasty stuff surfaces and he gets the Donald Sterling treatment. I'll be curious to see what the price tage ends up being. In 2012 Jimmy Haslam bought the Browns for 1 billion, but the same year Shad Khan got the Jags for 770 mil. Maybe this is the opening Peyton Manning has been waiting on to get back into the NFL. He couldn't pull it off himself but no doubt he could spearhead an ownership group.
This is good:

I'm guessing there will be several suitors. NFL teams don't go on sale very often, and even with all of the controversy in the league, owning a team is still an incredibly lucrative investment.
Yeah. I'm guessing it'll be closer to Jacksonville money than Cleveland money. Football (even bad football) is in the blood in Cleveland...generations of fans and so forth. Charlotte isn't exactly a pro football hotbed. I think there's local interest now just because the team is typically pretty good and they have a highly recognizable QB. But if the team was to become bad or uninteresting, I wonder if fans would still show up every week. And I'm thinking that potential buyers are looking at the tv ratings decline and CTE noise and maybe hedging their bets just a little. Still highly lucrative, but maybe not quite as rock solid as it seemed in 2012.
I heard $2 billion this morning. That might be wishful thinking, but I'm guessing the number will be north of $1 billion by quite a bit.
Wow. Wouldn't have guessed that. I wonder how much of it is earmarked for Jerry Richardson's hush money fund.
Somehow I missed this cheap shot by Thomas Davis. The NFL doled out a two game suspension today. Not that I disagree with it at all, but can someone explain to me how this hit was worse than the **** Gronk pulled against Buffalo a couple weeks ago? The league is all over the place with their discipline.
100% agree. This was definitely a cheap shot, but holding it up next to the Gronk hit and saying that this is twice as bad (based on punishment)? That's ridiculous. Come on, NFL. You can do better than this.
Green Bay and Dallas will be eliminated when Falcons win tonightOn a happier note, the NFC is shaping up for some really good playoff match-ups. Between Philly, Minnesota, L.A., Atlanta, Carolina, and New Orleans, those are 6 very good teams. I could see any one of them being the NFC's representative in the Super Bowl. Detroit, Dallas, Seattle, and Green Bay are all technically alive still, I guess.
