All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

You're telling me you can slide your tippy toes along the sidelines and fall on your face and it's ruled a catch. But if your heel comes down out of bounds(even though the toes came down first in bounds), it's not a catch. Jeez.
I know it's a rule. But the rule sucks. That's what I'm saying.
It reminds me of the fumble recovery we had a couple years back, but since the guys feet slid out of bounds before he "gained official control" on the field (cough*bull*****), they instead called it a dead ball.
Who makes this **** up? Id' love to see an official NFL rule book, so that I can wipe my ass with about half of the chapters.
The idea of the rule is to demonstrate control. dragging your toes or doing the toe-tap demonstrates control. Letting your heel slap the big white line does not. If the receiver had put his toe down without touching the heel (see Malcolm Floyd's second half catch in the SD-Pit game) and then jumped out of bounds, it's a catch.
The rule makes sense to me, because it seperates the good receivers from the elite receivers.
I believe that rule was misinterpreted by the bookies... I mean refs.
I believe if the heel touches the paint before (or at the same instant) the toe touches in-bounds, it's considered out-of-bounds. But... if the toe touches 1st, it should be a catch.

stupid and unnecessary comment. No WR is perfect and that could've happened to anyone.

and we're all forgetting one important thing- Price was PUSHED OUT. If he wasn't hit by the defender, he would have had both feet in bounds and we wouldn't be having this conversation right now.
It seems to me that the Bills are always on the wrong end of that damn push rule- if we're pushed out, it's not a catch. If we push someone out, it is a catch.

So if his head hit out of bounds before his heel, it would be considered "in control."
Of if he "bounced" off his tippy toes and landed out of bounds....

The rule is fine as is, we didnt get screwed on the call. It was completely legit. Alot of receivers practice only touching their toes and then falling out of bounds instead of trying to fully plant, its just like running the ball, if half your foot is in bounds and half your foot is out of bounds, the player is out of bounds. If he tippy toes the line, he's in bounds. Its not a tough call.
COMING SOON...
