    The Robert Royal Fumble?

    How come DJ didnt challenge that.Not only did his knee appear to touch the ground when he did that stupid reach with the ball he hit the ground with it. I thought the ground couldnt cause a fumble isnt that a rule?

    he knee wasn't down and the ball was out before he hit the ground.




    For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.

    Actually, it was on the ground, then it wasn't when the ball came loose as he pushed it on the ground. Even Royal knew that he was down by contact. The ref went by where the knee was when the ball came loose, and missed when it first touched. Jauron missed when it first touched, too. Apparently so did a lot of people here. Had Jauron not missed when it first touched, he would have challenged it, and it would have been over turned. Then we wouldn't be reading so many hate posts about Jauron or Royal.

    I didn't come here to fight, I hate fighting. Life is way too short to spend it on fighting! Go fight with yourself, one of you will eventually win!

    To me it didn't look like his knee hit the ground at any point.

    It was right before he got twisted upward onto the defender.

    Let it go people. His knee wasn't down, he fumbled the ball because his legs were twisting the wrong way and he's lucky he isn't on IR right now.

    It's not like if Dick threw a challenge flag, we would have miraculously won the game.

    Blame the loss on the O-line. Again.

    They didn't make the adjustment to pick up the blitzer and the QB shouldn't audibled to a run play.

    The C and LG are to blame on the Lynch fumble as that DT make his way 7 yards into the backfield on the snap!!! JP put the ball where he should've but Marshawn was fearing for his life he didn't bother to look the ball into his arms.

    The replay clearly shows that his knee wasn't down. We've been through this over a week ago, why go through it again?

    Re: The Robert Royal Fumble?

    Even if his Knee wasnt down he slammed the ball off the ground when he reached out. I just thought the ground couldnt cause a fumble.Also i know we would have still lost the game.I just want to know whyit was called a fumble if the ground caused it?

    Because if you aren't down, the ground absolutely can cause a fumble.
    "'Clean up your room.', 'Stand up straight.', 'Pick up your feet.', 'Take it like a man.', 'Be nice to your sister.', 'Don't mix beer and wine, ever.'. Oh yeah, 'Don't drive on the railroad track.'"

    Don't start this all over again. Just make it easy on all of us and say it's all JP's fault, even the Royal fumble.

    Do you honestly think that if we had maintained possession of the ball, we would've won the game? We got slaughtered 41-17 remember?
