Out of bounce? It's out of bounds. And to kick a field goal they must be inside there own 35 yard line? did you mean inside the opposing 35 yard line? Some rules are good some aren't, like no diving in the endzone. That's dumb and I have a scenario to help my case. It's the 4th quarter, 27 seconds left on the clock, winner goes to the Championship. The ball is on the one yard line it's 4th and goal you're team is down by 6. No field goals it's touchdown or bust. It's a handoff, you run up the middle and dive into the endzone, you win. You're celebrating with you're teammates and coach. But wait, there's a flag, the ref says "Player dove into the endzone replay fourth down. They hand it off to you in the backfield. You take it to the outside you juke left, then right, spin move, it looks good one guy can stop you. (You're five steps from out of bounds and and six steps towards the endone, you take four steps at an angle. You dive you get over the pylon you score and it's a win. But that would be a penalty. So you're forced to take the hit and lose the game.) Game over, you're no hero, but a failure. You're team and coaches are upset at you. Understand my case? I understand if you can't dive in with nobody close to you to showboat. But if it's necessary to win, you have to do it. The rule should be, "The refs decide if a dive is showboat or necessary. Take my advice to make it more realistic. Thanks, -Braveboy |
