Texans at Bears (1 Viewer)

So Cutler ends up getting a concussion, Campbell has looked alright. Gould with a rough miss at this point in the game, could have put them in position to win with another FG, now they still need a TD.

Considering everything, I am actually feeling good. Houston is as good as it gets in the NFL
 
Is the location of the ball what's important? The ball was ahead of the LOS.
No. The ball can be anywhere. If any part of the QB's body is behind the LOS at the time of the throw, it's a legal pass.
Nope. Shockingly, the announcers were wrong. Looked it up:
Article 2 Legal Forward Pass. The offensive team may make one forward pass from behind the line during

each down. If the ball, whether in player possession or loose, crosses the line of scrimmage, a forward

pass is not permissible, regardless of whether the ball returns behind the line of scrimmage before the

pass is thrown.
Yeah, I looked it up too. The rulebook contradicts itself. Reading it seems to say that if the ball goes past and then returns, that's definitely an illegal forward pass. If the whole body is forward of the line, it's an illegal forward pass. But the ball and part of the body past the line, part of the body behind it, is an unclear situation.
No contradiction just misapplication. The first rule says if you cross the LOS that cannot return to the right side and Correct the error. 2nd part determines if you have crossed LOS. If never cross LOS first rule never kicks in.

Crowd boos Kellen Davis as he walks off after landing on his head trying to catch a horribly thrown duck by Campbell. Stay classy Chicago.

 
It's 2012, they haven't come up with a better way to spot a punt out of bounds other than a back judge guessing where he thinks it went out?

I said this years ago, why can't they put a chip in the ball, and line the field with sensors to determine these kinds of things?
