He isn't a drama queen for only missing one play. He's a drama queen for writhing around on the ground, acting as if he were just stabbed. Especially since we know it was nothing more than "bruised ribs". Half the players in the league could probably list that injury, on a weekly basis.

You obviously don't know anything about bruised ribs. Thanks for your medical insight, Doc

It was very clearly an illegal hit. There is no way to possibly interpret the rule otherwise.

As far as Tarrant's two teaming goes, Vikings and Lions fans have general apathy toward each other. Many times we'll play a game like this last weekend where neither team deserves to win. This isn't nearly as big of a deal as it would be with almost any other two teams that play in the same division. One of my best friends up here is "a Vikings fan unless they're playing the Packers since I grew up rooting for Green Bay." That'sWAYworse. In fact, I don't even know why I still talk to that guy.

Also, Detroit fucking sucks dudes. And the Vikings are about as perpetual of a letdown team as possible. This isn't like him picking to root for the Red Sox and the Yankees.

I posted weeks ago that I was done not cheering against the Vikings (not I never cheered for them). My job however requires me to be there every home game which I brought up (which is somewhat annoying because I had already bought season tickets before finding that out...bah) When Paul Allen saw me show up in the press box during pre season wearing a Lions hat he jokingly told me I would have to stand outside of it the rest of the year. The next time I showed up in a jersey. I have to go out to the Metrodome tomorrow to check up on some issues they've been having with our services, it's the first time I've been there since the Lions beat the Vikings so that should be interesting. LoL

But you are correct in saying both franchises have the least amount of hate for one another than just about any other two teams in the league.

I don't think I've ever rooted for anyone in the NFC East. When two teams play each, I just hope they both look awful and some injuries happen. Not career ending, but enough to say "haha fuck you."

I think the rule is if you actually catch it in the end zone you have to maintain possession of the ball the entire way. If you catch it before the end zone the moment the ball hits the goal line, with control, its a TD. It's a dumb rule, but quite certain that's how it works now.

Apparently if you are the Giants, not all your scoring plays get automatically reviewed. Cruz's 2nd TD should have been an incompletion, since he did not maintain possession of the ball after hitting the ground.

As soon as the ball breaks the plane it is a TD. He has possession when it breaks the plane, only losing control after it hits the ground. IMO it's a TD.

I agree with your opinion, now if you can get the rules of the game changed, then it would actually have been a TD.

While what you are saying is true, that is not what happened on this play. In order for it to be called a completion, a falling receiver has to maintain possession of the ball to the ground anywhere on the field. Since he did not maintain control of the ball, it should be ruled an incompletion. If the pass is an incompletion, it does not matter if the ball crossed the end zone or not. No where on the field would this play be called a completion and a fumble. It would be an incompletion everywhere.

^^I agree with this. If he didn't catch the ball then it's not a touchdown even if he did happen to have a hand on it when it crossed the goal line.

Niners fans sure do throw temper tantrums a lot. Your team isn't the dynasty you like to pretend it is, deal with it. And if you're going to call someone a drama queen for missing a single play then someone's going to call you out on your stupidity

That's a temper tantrum? I'm pointing out that you're stupid, in case anyone somehow missed it. You throw out idiotic blanket statements and make dumb assumptions.

NFL is a mess.

For alll that ask about the Cruz play, he had completed the catch and was runner. CJ had not and has to hold on the the ball. Simple!

The Cruz catch was ruled complete. It should not have. Ball came lose when he hit the ground. He did not complete the process.

I'll concede the point that I have no f'ing clue what a TD is anymore.

From the guy who doesn't know anything about injuries, but talks like he's an expert. Face it, you said something stupid and got called out on. Stop digging a deeper hole for yourself
