Anyone else have a HEART ATTACK when Clay threw the ball down by the goaline???

Oh I did.

 

Was he touched?

I thought he just gave himself up, but still..dumb dumb move.

Don't want to make the highlight reel of the stupids

 

He was touched. In fact, he was accidently kicked.

 

I was up from my chair, certainly.

 

Looked like he dived forward untouched got up and tossed the ball into the EZ.

Even touched, he should be more careful

 

I bolted up but a quick replay showed the db's leg and foot touch him.

I nearly had a heart attack about 4-5 times during the game... yeah, that was one of them.

 

He wasn't barely touched. He was touched so quickly that it look like he might of not been touched. A guy was running at him at a good speed and tripped over him.

 

Pretty sure the tackler basically tripped over him. Even then, the whistle was blown basically immediately.

Did they show a replay on the Brandon Gibson catch? That very much looked like he extended the ball over the goal line.

 

I was at the game and I was panicked for a brief moment wondering ,"WTF did he just do?!?!?" but no one else ever reacted to anything so I thought it was just me...

 

THAT was an incredible play, one handed the ball, then pulled it back in, serious body control and situational awareness

 

Yes, they have a shot straight down the line. His extension was short. They spotted it just where he extended to.

 

I heard the whistle right away..so I knew that if he had done that, they weren't gonna take the ball away.

 

Yeah I did. At first I thought he hadn't been touched and screamed for him to get up, then he put the ball down and I freaked, was trying to tell the other players to get the ball because they could obviously hear me through the TV.

 

I had to watch the game on NFL Rewind, so I had it on condensed setting (whole game, every play, 35-40 minutes total) so there wasn't a whole lot of time between the end and the next play where we still had it. Had I watched it live or full broadcast recording, I'd probably be dead.

 

I don't know if that would have mattered just because didn't Tanny's lost fumble last week was whistled down but the refs still gave the Colts the ball?

 

He made the 1st down distance twice on that play. I'm wondering if he had not gotten it the 2nd time, if they would have given him forward progress from where he got knocked back. I think they should have, probably would have, but since he got it again before going out of bounds, we'll never know.

 

The Clay play freaked me out too. I was yelling for him to get up and run into the end zone, and then he just tosses the ball away. I guess the ref blew the whistle and you couldnt hear it on TV, but still. FAR too loose. Don't do anything that could be taken the wrong way there. Hug the ball until the play is clearly over. I totally dont get this new trend of players treating the ball as if its poison as soon as they've made a big run or catch.

 

Ball=your baby

You would not toss away your baby unless it were safe now would you.

 

Yes, I don't want kids.

 

*Note to self, do not hand FinD your, or anyone's child

 

I heard the whistle watching tv but it wasn't loud. May have been louder in the field.

 

You just NOW came to that conclusion???!?!??!??!?

 

Yep,

 

I think Clay would have been pretty aware he was touched given the circumstances.

 

He was kicked and it was obvious on a replay but at first I was cussing and yelling hike the #%$#@ing ball.

 

Whats this about Balls in a corner?

 

Yes that was very stupid. Receivers always seem to drop balls to fast in this league(after the catch,) even in the Endzone. Lets not forget the Jackson debacle for Philly one yard out.

 

Maybe it was the angle of where I was sitting in the stands, or me just being so stoked at the catch i couldn't contain my crazy, but this wasn't something I even noticed when it happened. I only learned about it reading here. After re watching it I can say it was very dumb.

 

He must have known he got touched and heard the Whistle. But for a second, yeah I thought that was one of those unforced fumbled we'd seen cocky players doing lately.

 

What was very stupid?

 

They did, and he didn't. He put it out every so briefly and that rightfully so, pulled it right back in. There was a defender's hand just inches from the ball trying to swipe it from his blindside.

 

Was that a drop? I thought on replay it showed the ball being deflected off the defenders hands and over Miller's.
