He gave himself up as a player.... When a player has control over a fumble the play is over.... So let me ask this when a player's in a pile and has recovered a fumble the whistle hasn't been blown He gets up and he's standing there can a player come over and just hit the ball out of his hands and run it in for a touchdown no he has control He has the ball... The whistle is never been blown at that point... If you watch when there's a fumble  and pile up there's no whistle being blown They wait to see who has the ball at the bottom of the pile right? If that player gets out of that pile and another player comes over and knocks the ball out and runs it in for a touchdown it doesn't happen because he has control and the play is over regardless of the whistle

You can't read this the thread and get a true understanding of what happened in the game That's impossible...lol Just go watch the highlights or rewatch the game lol

Good lord.

You really don’t know ball if you believe a fumble can happen, a player picks it up and is standing….. but he’s technically down because it was a fumble….

Like… what?

I said this earlier in the thread, we had all those Week 1 mistakes and gave the Clots 14 pts and still won. That double fumble would have been the spark that caused our implosion in the past and that 3rd Q was rough but, and this is what Doug and his staff have done that's impressed me most, we managed to turn the game completely around. Put together a tough drive and get 7 and the lead, got a turnover on Clots possession then Etienne breaks off a big one for 7 and its over.

Some people seem to think we will put up 50 every week and I love that optimism but they need to be realistic. There will be bad games and we'll have spells in games we look bad but this team has that ability to make game winning plays and that's the best trait of a team you could wish for.

We aren't going 17-0, we won't dominate every game but the confidence I have for us this year has only grown after seeing how we handled all the good and bad from today's game. Going to be a fun year.
