Get back to me when you have a clue about what you are talking about before saying someone else made something up.

Let me know when you find the part about a play stopping due to an injured player.

No use talking to you anymore because you don't know anything on the subject.

Like I said, he didn't "declare himself down by falling". He fell and in the process of falling lost control of the ball. Way to lose your shit over a play from a play from a year ago, though.

Again, there's no mention of an injury in there whatsoever. Therefore, the injury is irrelevant to the discussion.

So, if you watched that play and had no clue there was an injury, are you honestly suggesting that he "fell to the ground and made no effort to advance" in the 0.2 seconds that passed between the time his arm hit and the time the ball came out?

If that's the way you're interpreting that rule, then I can't help you.
