Quote from: GB Warrior on Today at 08:43:15 AMIt amazes me that people are struggling to see the difference between this play and Adams'. If Cooks rolls over and drops it, it's an obvious incompletion and no one says anything.

Adams is fighting for yardage (a football move) and happens to be down by contact.

Funny that there were two even remotely similar plays this weekend, but they were both absolutely ruled correctly


The two plays were way more similar than you are implying here.

Cooks had caught the ball, and is fighting off the defender by rolling away from him after hitting the ground. According to the definition of a football move, which includes "extend the ball forward, take an additional step, tuck the ball away and turn upfield, or avoid or ward off an opponent), or he maintains control of the ball long enough to do so." One could make the argument that he has made a football move. He had possession of the ball, knee was down, he rolled (with possession of the ball) to ward off the defender, and only afterward was stripped of the ball. (note this is one interpretation of the video).

Similarly, you are giving credit for Adams making a football move by fighting for more yardage. There isn't time for him to do so. He took two steps, knee down, which immediately after, the ball is stripped. They called that a football move.

I'm honestly fine with both calls, but they were way way more similar than you give credit, and the really egregious aspect was that in the Bills game they did not stop the game and have an automatic review, instead, I'm assuming they relied on NY. Should have been reviewed by the in-game officials.

Haha. Lil bro going into a Playoff game against the Rams and still thinking about big bro.

Ice Man is really Ass Man who had a horseshoe up his ass all year. Guy is going to need to learn how to throw a football on schedule or he'll continue to throw 5 picks in 2 Playoff games.

Strange. Providence took UCONN to OT, beat SJU, and also beat Creighton. Three teams that had no problem taking us down. And we are -1.5. Go figure.

Former White Sox knuckleballer Wilbur Wood died over the weekend.

My main memory of him was that I was in Yankee Stadium the day Reggie Jackson homered off of him - the shot that launched tens of thousands of Reggie Bars onto the field.

Jackson, who years earlier had said that if played in New York "they'd name a candy bar after me," indeed had a candy bar named after him following his historic performance in the 1977 World Series.

Before their 1978 home opener, the Yankees gave every fan entering the park a Reggie Bar. Jackson hit a shot off of Wood in the first inning, and fans reacted by throwing the candy onto the field from every section and from the farthest reaches. The game was delayed for several minutes to clear the field.

Quote from: Aircraftcarrier on January 17, 2026, 12:02:21 PMgood post Connie. 10 of the 14 scholarship players are freshman and sophomore's. Difficult to win with that mix especially when your upperclassman aren't producing
Actually it is 9 of 14 scholarship players are underclassmen and two of them are redshirts and one upperclassmen is no longer on the team. It is not just difficult it is what you would expect.
