I don't think this is that quirky of a rule.....I knew it right away. Len Dawson knew it right away.....it's been a rule forever and it's happened before.
I don't think because our coaching staff/players are to stupid to know the rule doesn't mean it needs to be changed. |

Can we get this discussion back on track?
Ross made a mistake, we know that already. And no, THAT PLAY didn't cost us a shot at the playoffs. It doesn't change the fact that the rule NEEDS TO BE CHANGED. It's a dumb rule. |

It doesn't matter who knew it and who didn't. It doesn't matter that it was the CHIEFS coaches.
A team should NEVER get a free first down after they made a MISTAKE. |

Team B made another overriding mistake (Ross muffed the punt). Your arguement would require a fumble of an intereception to be nullified. |

Which is true, The Chiefs player in question muffed the punt and changed the ball from being dead at that spot to a live ball... |

I agree that the call was correct, but when you block a punt, you should get the ball. Period. That's only fair.
Bad dang rule. FAX |

I agree. The ball never reached the 22 was it? It was touched by a chiefs player at the 17, then recovered by the chargers at that mark. Should of been first and 10 KC. But according to the rule it is not. It is a quarky rule, but called correctly, same as muffing a punt down the field. The ball was touched beyond the LOS by a defensive player, therefore it is a live ball. Same as the DB's running with the gunner, if the ball hits them in the back and the kicking team recovers, kicking team ball. I always remember coaches screaming at players to get away from blocked kicks and such. (agian not saying anything about our coaching staff) But remember playing in HS, when we blocked a punt, we were always told to get away from the football... |

Since this happened to the Chiefs, and not in their favor, I'd say the rules committee will not address it. If, however, it had happened to Indy or New England instead, then it would be one of the first topics to be discussed.

A version of that play happened in the Illinois/Rutgers game this season. Illinois has one of their receivers attempt a rugby punt (due to our freshman punter being the worst in the nation) and kicked it so badly that it hit a Rutgers player in the ass as he was retreating to block for the returner. Illinois recovered the ball and got a first and ten out of it. It was the first onside punt I'd ever seen. It's a rule that defintely needs to be changed. You're basically rewarding the kicking team for screwing up by giving them the ball back in these situations.

What, exactly, is a "football move". Do you have to make the Heisman pose? Shake and Bake? Wiggle your butt in a semi-circular motion like Manning? What? When a receiver catches the ball on the sidelines, touches his toes, and falls straight backwards out of the boundry, is that a "football move"? Inquiring minds. FAX |

That call may have cost me a first playoff loss in my FFL. I will still probably wing but without the proceeding 89 yard run by LT or would have been all over. NOw I have to sweat out the fact he has Chad Johnson and Vinatieri going tonight.
