I think that’s the first time I’ve noticed a catch occur on Sutton this season. I’m sure it’s not the first, but he’s been really damn good

It was a kickoff not a punt 

Interesting.

Someone told me the rule is you just have to signal fair catch and you automatically get it on the 25 yard line.

Is that correct?

Also, do you have to actually catch the ball or just give the fair catch signal?

[number20]

Ok we got a game

[RandyMarsh]

Damn I thought they stopped him initially but nope he indeed did get in. Good second effort by Ekeler. 

[TP_Fan]

No business being a one score game. The defense is quite damn awful. My lord.  Why wasn’t Campbell using timeouts after the Allen catch?

That’s the rule change this year. It’s been the case in college.

If you request a fair catch, you have to catch it. But it’s also a touchback if it goes into the end zone. So if it’s going there you can let it go.

Though if someone else calls for it, and then you catch it, it’s still dead, but you get it where you caught it, not at the 25 (unless you’re in the end zone).

Defense turned to **** 

[Motor City Sonics]

No one said it'd be easy.  

[TP_Fan]

God damnit. The give up. 2 timeouts and 23 secs left and you just ****ing quit.  

[MichiganCardinal]

307 total yards and only 24 points to show for it is frustrating.

I think we are in a much better position to win the second half though. Chargers haven’t had an answer for anything we are doing, we just don’t have an answer for Allen.

[TP_Fan]

Just horrible management to end the half. Didn’t use timeouts to save clock then gave up with timeouts.

Zero faith that Glenn can make any meaningful adjustments to stop Allen.

Thanks!

They certainly made that complicated!

Are all TD's automatically reviewed now?

Yes. Scoring plays and all turnovers.

Me too.  But just means the Chargers would have had a 1st and a foot with 20 seconds to go and a timeout.

Yes that’s been the case for a while now. All TDs and changes of possession.

Maybe not. Allen is pretty damn good.

They're all on my FF team. I'm winning big! 😆😆

[NYLion]

Just have to keep scoring points because the Chargers offense is going to keep scoring.

Can't leave him 1 on 1 which they did on the TD. That could be fixed by scheme.

[number20]

Why are we coming out throwing? We slaughtered them with the run all game

 

[MichiganCardinal]

Thanks Derwin 

[RedRamage]

That's a lame call imho. I mean, I'll take it, but that didn't seem like and illegal hit at all.
