This is easily the most important what if scenario.

If you're going to play the what-if game here, the question is more properly, "what if the ball carrier hadn't tried to stick the ball over the goal line?" The browns were moving the ball and the ball carrier had already gotten the first down. If he had just taken the tackle they would have had a first and goal very close to the goal line. This Browns team with the great running attack surely would have been able to push it across, so why would he feel the need to stick the ball out where it was vulnerable?

Stefanski specifically said he coaches his players not to do it. He politely defended Higgins, but it showed he understands the rules and realizes his guy took a huge risk.

talking about it again on Get Up. gag on all of them.

Sorenson was protecting the line. They had an entire half of game to win.

Go Chiefs.

Exactly! Why is only one considered dangerous...

Again, they can play what if on this play all they want, I believe their was a huge holding call not called on the OL that should have brought the play back. So the what if machine could have called both penalties, it would have been a wash...

If “ifs” and “buts” were candy and nuts, we’d all have a merry Christmas.

IN your scenario if both were called as penalties, the Browns still would of had the ball however. But its cool. The better team won regardless. Just please beat the Bills. I cant stand them.

I don't know what Sorenson is supposed to do there. Go flying superman style with arms out?

It's a bang bang play on the goal line. Collisions happen.

It was funny watching Cowher etc bleed out over it, calling for a rule change during the game.

bobhill 01-18-2021 08:02 AM

It looked Shoulder to shoulder then is momentum in the downword angle made his helmet maybe touch the other guys helmet that I don't know

For everyone else it's luck or cheating or a conspiracy by the NFL to keep them winning.

For you guys, it's "those are the breaks, they could've played better."

Hypocritical douchebags.

But then we have no idea if you score at all...

When the offensive player is diving running into the end zone and the defender dives running at him perpendicular, I’m not sure what people think is going to happen. This is typically the result for diving offensive players (getting helmet to helmet contact)

Incorrect, it was the cold hard truth when we choked games away.

why are you here?

displacedinMN 01-18-2021 08:18 AM

We have until the end of the day today to dink around with this. Then move on. Let the rest of the league bitch.

Worry about Mahomes. I still think he plays.
