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.

lol you actually think it's some conspiracy?

It got called against NE earlier in the year, and against NE in 2002. It's a real rule, dude.

Perhaps, but it was not called anywhere near that for the entire history of football, and very rarely after (only to justify a horrific change in interpretation).

How long did Brady have the ball down near his gut? It's laughable that anyone even argues about it.

Dude, the rule was passed in 1999. How is in going to be called in the "entire" history of the game?

His arm was still moving forward; therefore incomplete.

Oh, and if you want to retro-actively throw flags? Woodson. Illegal blow to the head. 15 yards. 1st down.

What about the Casshole curl up in a little ball rule.

I never understood how a passer tucking the ball away, throwing the ball into the ground, never was penalized for intentional grounding.
