RE: Fumble/Incomplete Pass. When did the NFL decide or make a rule that the receiver had to take 3 steps after the catch to be a completion? That’s certainly not the rule when the ball isn’t fumbled; we’ve seen hundreds of calls on whether it was a catch or not and none of them include 3 steps. I’m just going by what the FOX expert said during the broadcast that the “football move rule” according to him required 3 steps after the catch to qualify as a catch. I’ve never heard that before.

Thank Almighty for Chiefs getting Reid and Mahomes.
Special kudos to Veatch.
He made several bold moves such as trading Hill and rolling with rookie corners this year.
-
I do not recall any Chiefs season with so many 3-point victories as this year.
-
National media is referring to penalty call as being controversial and the reason why Chiefs won.
Eagles player himself admitted that it was a penalty.
The media has a bias against Chiefs.

@BShark Sorry about your friend. That’s one of life’s tougher things - I know all about losing dear friends. Prayers.

@stoptheflop I think the guy that comes away with the " W " is the one who outplayed the other.
-
@stoptheflop I think it isn’t 2 steps…it is 2 feet down (they can be down when the ball is caught, but steps are more likely) and a football move (unless the player is falling to the ground and then the requirement is to retain possession). That can be a step which is often called a 3rd step but should be called a 3rd foot down (which is awkwsrd–sounds like canine ball). The move could also be a twist to avert a hit, or immediately lateralling the ball, I think. Here, he was hit immediately on control. For once our tacklers got there quickly… too quickly.
-
@mayjay Thanks, yes third foot on the ground makes more sense than 3 steps. Really, this means two feet on the ground after the catch and then one step-a football move.
-
@mayjay If he had caught the ball, been hit immediately and dropped to the ground, it would have been a completed pass. He is not required to take any steps. But since he fumbled the ball the “steps” are an issue ??? Sounds like a whole bunch of BS to me.

Still okay last I heard. He has had a very full life, much older than me. Truly a special friendship, hard to explain.
-
@BShark That’s fantastic. When you find a friend who gets you and appreciates you, that’s about as close to heaven as we get down here.
-
@nuleafjhawk In your example, if the guy dropped immediately and lost the ball, that would be incomplete. Dropping immediately to the ground while holding on = completed catch and a tackle.
-
@stoptheflop Hurts played great and I was impressed with what he did last night but his biggest mistake was a fumbled snap that gave KC a touchdown. Chiefs also dropped 2 picks. He can flat out run for sure.
-
@stoptheflop that’s my problem with the current rules, Dez Bryant takes 3 steps not a catch but a guy falling outta bounds doesn’t have to maintain possession. Watching the replay his foot looks up while the ball is still moving. I think it was just too close to overturn. The fumble the guy looks back at hurts, catches it, gets both feet down and turns forward to run. Turning forward to me is a football move but idk. At that point you can say gotta take 4 steps I guess for it to be a catch idk.
-
Anyone else see LeBron complaining about the holding call? When literally he threw a complete tantrum last week after a no call sent his game in to OT SMH. This is why people dislike him greatly, the cut under his nose is always at full bore, usually In topics he’s uneducated in.
-
@mayjay Right. So we he caught the ball and then got the crap knocked out of him and lost it to Bolton, who ran it in for a touchdown - we got screwed. lol
-
@kjayhawks In a way it is like taking a charge: the ball can move but still he in control just like the defender is not required to be absolutely set. Think of the holder on a FG when he spins the ball. He has control even if it is moving.
-
@nuleafjhawk I wonder if players will hesitate before they hit a receiver because they want a fumble recovery rather than a mere pass breakup.

Yeah it’s annoying when players go for the strip and end up giving up a lot more yards. Happens pretty frequently too.

Mic’d up went up today and it’s GREAT. Soooo many awesome moments.

Ugg can’t stand Jimmy. New Heights podcast is a great way to consume Kelce. Jason and Travis are awesome together. SNL should be fun too!
Timing is not the best for me - got handed Nathaniel Raitcliff tickets (wish he was with the Night Sweats, but he has an orchestra backing him up) for that evening and have afternoon plans to attend Reef Stock in Denver as well (marine aquarium show). Not to mention KU plays Texas at 3!!! Might have to record SNL.

Kelce was awesome. Seems jimmy spent time golfing with Kelce and mahomes in Vegas last summer.

Chiefs seemed to have some fun at the parade, a lot of consumption.
