Just like the fumble, I'm not sure they could have overturned that. You can't tell if the back part of his knee/leg is touching the white line. They would have needed an angle from the side or I say no way they overturn that. Then again, consistency is not in the NFL's dictionary.

No way, in hell, ever, is that not a catch and a TD. He caught the ball at the 5 yard line, took 2 steps, dove for the end zone, reached out, and the ball did NOT come loose until after the ball crossed the goal line. You are just wrong on this one.

Neighbor kid showed me this picture yesterday and asked me what I had to say "about that".
I told him he "might" be right ... but, "well take the win. Y'all got some pretty pictures to look at til next game though".
I'd like to explain things like angle of inference, but it would be lost on you Spike. Show me a shot from the back of the endzone, and I can show you a knee out of bounds.
It's the same thing as having an entire shoe in bounds on the front angle, but noticing on the rear angle that part of the shoe is actually on the endline.

I also think they changed the rules after that Dallas player was fighting for yardage and lost the ball, and they lost the game because of it. I think fighting for yardage is considered as a football move after possession, as opposed to being tackled/knocked to the ground and controlling the ball through the contact with the ground.

Ya. As I saw it, Grimble (sp?) broke the plane and that was it. It didn't matter that he fumbled after he hit the ground. He'd already broken the plane and the TD was a done deal at that point. Just like a runner or receiver can dive diagonally across the endzone, never actually touching the field but if the ball crosses the plane, it's a TD. Dude can fly through the air from the field - right over the EZ without touching a thing, but if the ball crosses the plane extended - it's a TD. Even if he flies out of bounds without ever establishing his feet. (Assuming of course he'd established possession before jumping... That's critical of course.)

And then it would have only been a tie.

Good post but as far as the ball being wet, it was wet for Ginger too and he seemed to handle it pretty well. Pass rush stunk - Jets sacked Dalton 7 times and we couldn't get him one time?

we got him ONE time, also got hit ( and I mean punished) at least two times that I can remember
Ginger had a few balls bounce out of defenders hands.
Couldn't watch the game as i was driving home from a wedding. Listened to it on XM radio though. According to the radio guys there were two times where it could have been a pick-6 if our defenders (JJ, Cockrell) catch the ball.

Agree with the idea those could have been picks (particularly Jones), but the Cockrell play was tough and I doubt that Jones can take a pick in the middle of the field and reach the endzone.
Jets plan was different than ours. There's was to get after Ginger and force him to make bad throws/mistakes. Ours was to take away his favorite weapon and confuse him with different coverages. Their plan got them 7 sacks and a loss. Ours got us one sack, numerous hits and a win. Honestly, I think our plan was better.

Additionally, has anybody considered that maybe the Jets defensive line - featuring Muhammed Wilkerson and Leonard Williams - is really good at rushing the passer?
They ran the ball a ton. They also used a ton of two wr sets.
Here here. Honestly, while we only have ONE SACK - we do have TWO WINS. Simple math...
Another issue with blitzing is you are usually in single coverage and some players may not be covered at all. That's why the zone blitz was so effective, you were still only rushing 4, but the other team didn't know which 4 were coming.
I expect CB and S blitzes coming in the next few weeks, once the secondary is more comfortable with their roles. I did see Burns come in once.
