Maybe Alex Smith think there' 8 min left instead of 3. If your eyes are sweaty, it looks the same.

 

[jeeb]

Keep your best offensive weapon in the backfield blocking KC. Smart.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Ugh, throwing. Why?

They wanted the first down?

First downs do not matter right now. Seconds do.

It was 3rd and 8. Getting the first down would have given them a whole new set of downs to take seconds off.

Charles having 0 catches in this game is a crime.

 

[mad sweeney]

Dunno why DBs insist on going for a pick on 4th downs. Unless it's on a screen, you're losing yardage by not just knocking it down.

He had 2 or 3 drops in the first half IIRC

Wtf that guy was tickling Fisher's arm...

All the drops are a Smith's fault.

Most football players are not very smart

Looked like a Dr asking him if he felt his arm tingling

Would love it if both teams win next week before deciding the division, and the difference between HFA and 5th seed, in Arrowhead.

It's actually Bush's, if you go back to the excuse train of 2007.

Don't care. They threw it on 2nd down as well which was also dumb. KC cannot stop the clock and you're up by 10 with less than four minutes to play. Your only goal at that point is to make sure the clock keeps ticking away. That's it. Run, run and run some more.

Oh, that's what they call it now.

 

[mad sweeney]

Funny that they're talking about the Heidi game on a day where Fox cut away from Phi-Was when the Eagles were ahead 24-0 but the game wasn't over until a last minute interception with about :31 seconds left and Washington only a score behind.

 

[Ignoramus]

They don't get their names in the papers or incentives when the team forces a turnover on downs.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Should have thrown the ball to Thomas instead of handing off to Ball for those 2 TDs Peyton.

They get cut after enough mental mistakes though.

They could have returned to that game at any time.

Had to let Ball redeem himself for letting Manning appear to bounce the ball off his sternum.

Ask and ye shall receive.

 

[Popinski]

Hard to overturn it. Ball went beyond the marker, but the ball seemed out of bounds at that point.

Doesn't matter.

So in that case, the ball is allowed to break the plane of the out of bounds line, after which the player can reach across the 1st down marker (right before his body lands out of bounds), and it is considered a 1st down?

Are they allowed to by contract?

 

[fruity pebbles]

Alex Smith can't even force himself to throw the ball down the field in a hail mary situation.

Hey, there's a catch for Charles!

And another one. Now stop your whining.

And another. 2 catches for -3 yards.

Yeah, I still don't get that.

 

[Ghost Rider]

LOL at Alex Smith still throwing screen passes at the end of the game in that situation.

I believe so. It's definitely that way for determining if the ball goes past the LoS for determining intentional grounding.

There's probably some area-specific rules, like the end zone, but a player isn't OoB until a body part touches OoB, so why would the ball be?

I know it's beating a dead horse, but man does he suck.

Otis kinda bailed early in this thread. What gives? You pass out?

From the rulebook, it seems like the inbounds spot would be where it crossed the sideline, which is not necessarily the same as where it is when the ball is considered out of bounds:

The Inbounds Spot is a spot 70 feet 9 inches in from the sideline on the yard line passing through the spot where the
ball or a runner is out of bounds between the goal lines.
Under certain conditions, the ball is dead in a side zone or has been placed there as the result of a penalty. See 7-6-2.
Note: Ordinarily the out-of-bounds spot is the spot where the ball crossed a sideline. However, if a ball, while still within a boundary line, is declared out of bounds because of touching anything that is out of bounds, the out-of-bounds spot is on the yard line through the spot of the ball at the instant of such touching.

BA-ZING!!!In that case, you and the other guy saying they should be throwing it there should change your names to "Dumb" and "Dumber."

 

[ffldrew]

Good game for the Broncos - kept Manning clean and his ankle gets some time to recover.

I think the injury kept the mix of plays leaning to the run and hence the score a bit closer. Maybe if it gets closer in score he could have ramped up the passing game a notch.

In two weeks with some film to work off of - Peyton may unlock a bit more offense if he stays clean after a visit to Foxboro. The good thing about tonight is we showed a pretty vanilla running game for most of the game - so if Manning still may have some tricks in the bag.

Would live to see the battle royale for who gets which name.
