A challenge. He clearly was not out of bounds when he first touched the ball, but only had one foot down in bounds. Anyone know the rules on this?
Bullsh_t!!!
He had a foot and his fingers clearly touched the ground before touching the ball. Refs officially suck
When you go out of bounds, you need to re-establish yourself on the field of play before making a play. He clearly did not get his other foot inbounds (this is what they mean by re-establishing), so the ruling on the field was overturned.
2 points of reference. not necessarily feet. I rest my case, all officials suck
Got a link?
last receiver from Philly, laying on the ground clearly did not get 2 feet in before touching out of bounds.
He didn't go out of bounds then come back in. An offensive player can't re-establish themselves at all once they go out of bounds.
Did he get two feet down before he rolled out of bounds?
He didn't roll at all. It's a completely different rule for the Eagles receiver, the situations have nothing to do with each other. He had control of the ball, hit the ground, and had control of the ball after hitting the ground. It was a catch.
EDIT: Wait, I think we're talking about two different plays here. My bad. I thought you had moved on to the play after that and was questioning it.
As for the receiver that fumbled, he did have two feet down before he rolled out of bounds. Obviously he did, because he tripped himself up which called him to fall and fumble.
