Tuck Rule is changing

Whoa: Tuck Rule is changing. If the passer loses control going forward it's still INC. If he loses ball while tucking, it's a fumble.

Good. Was an idiotic rule.

ABOUT ****ING TIME.

BTW... there were a bunch of tuck rules last year. More than I'd ever seen before. Wonder why that is.

That was the biggest, most made up ****ing rule in the history of the game. I hate the Faid almost as much as I hate the donks -and I really hate the donks -but the inmates should've won that game.

Good. Now a fumble is a fumble and a pass attempt is a pass attempt. Logic finally prevails.

Nice.

The best part is, blowjobs still don't count!

Thank You Bill Clinton!!!

refs were paid off that game....even if it was against OAK...I'm totally convinced of that.

THIS TO THE MUTHA****IN MAXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Good. Now, they need to change the continuation rule for receivers...

?

Great!
Because there's definitely a clear delineation between when the ball is being tucked and when the arm is still going forward!

Judgment calls, FTW!!!

The rule change doesn't really change anything...

The Tuck rule is a bit of a misnomer; it's really more like "forward-arm movement rule." Why? Cause the QB's arm has to be moving forward for the rule to be in effect. So Brady's arm was moving forward as he was attempting to "tuck" the ball away. Hence, it's a fumble. The moment the arm *stops* moving - and the "tuck" is completed? It's a fumble.

The whole reason the rule existed was so a ref didn't have to make a subjective decision as to whether or not the QBs arm was moving forward in an attempt to thrown or tuck. But the arm still has to be moving. Brady's was. Incomplete.

So, nothing has changed....unless they are now supporting subjective calls.

BTW - Lol @ people who think refs were paid.

Bingo.

The "new" rule change doesn't address this at all.
