Correll Buckhalter fumble return for TD. (1 Viewer)

I just saw one replay, but it looked like it was a lateral to me. Any chance they will change this, and credit McNabb w/ passing yards and a passing TD instead of a fumble return.

What did it look like to everybody else? Was it a lateral or was it a fumble? How is the ruling determined? Intent of the one who possessed the ball, or what?

 
Yes, there is a chance that the NFL will change it. These types of reviews are done all the time, but it will take a few days. Wednesday, maybe.

 
If I remember correctly, in the past a scenario like this happened with a lateral for a touchdown.

The QB and original receiver get credit for a completed pass, but the second receiver (Buckhalter) receives rushing yards and the TD.

I don't think McNabb will get the TD even if it's ruled a lateral.

 
Is fumble and fumble recovery TD the correct stat? I wasn't watching the game at the time but I heard from a friend that the announcers believed that it was a designed play. Even if it wasn't designed, it was clearly a lateral.

Remember the Moss to Mo Williams TD couple of years ago, how about the Holt (i think) to Az Hakim lateral 3, 4 years ago? What were those counted as?

I really need that TD from McNabb to have a chance to win this weekend, so I'm very interested

 
Not going to happy for ya Terminator.

I saw it and it looked like a fumble and a tremendous hustle play by Buck.

In a similar play in 2003, Randy Moss came down with a long pass, and then lateraled to Moe Williams who scored a TD. Culpepper was given both the yards and the TD that Moe WIlliams scoredNFL.com Gamebook

:goodposting: I remember that. This looked the same to me.

McNabb should get the TD credit when its all said and done, IMO.

it looked like a fumble?? Brown clearly had his arms up throwing the ball to Buckhalter, why else would a receiver not protect the ball on the way down and instead, flares their arms up with the ball...? :confused:

Looked like a clear fumble and maybe at the last second he tried to tip it to CBuck. It was definately a fumble though.

It really does depend on the official ruling, a lateral and a fumble are scored differently.
 
Sure didn't look like a lateral to me. Just appeared to pop out of Reggie Brown's hands and Buckhalter was fortunate enough to get it without it hitting the ground.

It was a fumble. I think Browns motions in trying to grab it looked just like it would if he was making a lateral. A little deceiving to the eyes but it was clearly a fumble.
 
Reggie Brown, tongue-in-cheek, on the Eagles' website:

"I went to go see a gypsy and she told me a hook-and-ladder was in my future, and we tried it and it worked. It was hook-and-ladder all the way. That's my story and I'm sticking by it."

I only seen the replay once and it looked like he didnt' even have control of the ball... Maybe i'm wrong.

make up your mind buddy. either he never had possession, or he had possession and it was a fumble. if brown never had possession, it is just a passing td.
 
a lateral by NFL rule is a continuation of the play, so if it were a pass from McNabb, he'd get the points for the total yards of the play and the TD, if they rule it's a lateral. R.Brown would get the receiving yards to the point he lateralled, then Buck would get a receiving TD and the yards from the point he got the handoff.

 
You people are out of your minds. It was clearly a completed pass and then a fumble. I seriously don't even know what you're looking at. You guys are really stretching.

 
I didn't think it was completed until Buckhalter caught the ball. It should be overturned. It was not a fumble. If it ended up hitting the ground, I guarantee they would have ruled it an incomplete pass. I'm hoping McNabb gets the TD. :thumbup:
