since I have never postef in this forum I thought I would come up with a good question.....

What is the "tuck" rule?

CalPolyRaider · #2 (**permalink**) 10-01-2005, 09:04 AM

When the arm is going forward, the ball must be tucked into the body of the QB before it can be considered a fumble.. i guess

Take a look at this... http://www.raiders.com/uploads/photo...405woodson.jpg

This's an excellent picture of the infamous "Tuck Rule" play. It's currently on the Raiders.com homepage before. It's clearly shows the point of impact in which C.Wood hit Brady. The ball is not going forward. In fact, it shows Brady palming the ball with his left hand. Most notably like a pump fake. That picture clearly shows he was not in the process of making a forward pass when he was hit by C.Wood.

Two more things about that picture.

1. When that picture was taken, C.Wood helmet and shoulder were clearly up against Brady right shoulder blade and arm. That would have made it physically impossible to for Brady's arm to be going forward. With C.Wood where he was, there was no possible way that Brady could have even drawn his arm back to attempt a throw.

2. Look at C.Wood right arm and hand. It's raised and near Brady face. Had Brady arm been going forward, it would have run smack dab into C.Wood arm. Yet, the picture shows the ball clearly under the hand and close to Brady body.

Oh yea, I got one more thing is this.

YOU, COLEMAN!!!

What do you think about my analyzing about the Tuck Rule?

CalPolyRaider · #6 (**permalink**) 10-01-2005, 10:12 AM

Well during that play, Bradys arm was already going forward.. it was at the end of the pump fake, he put two hands on the ball.. then C-Wood hit him, ball comes out.. game over. Stupid Refs. See what you get when you ask a stupid question.. dammit de-cleater.. relivin bad memories

Yes, I'll never forgive about the Tuck Rule until we win the Super Bowl then I don't care about the Tuck Rule anymore.

Tuck Rule =
a BS rule that says if a QBs arm is motion as if he is throwing the football and he fumbles the ball it is considered an incomplete pass, basically if a QB runs around pump faking he can never fumble.
the worst part of this rule is the part that allows the QB time to tuck the ball in, if the QB is in the process of tucking the ball and the ball comes lose it is not considered a fumble, the dumb refs of the tuck game used that to cheat us out of a playoff advancement.
If the football is drawed back before the QB attempts to pass the football, and is knocked lose.. it is a fumble (see Steve Mcnairs fumble before he got injured)

this is another prime example of why Paul T is the Cancer of the NFL, another rule that rewards the Patriots for there wrong doings, another rule would be the new 5 yard rule.

It should be called the gaytriots rule

RaiderBeast · #11 (**permalink**) 10-04-2005, 12:29 PM

I was at the Tuck game.. The whole stadium KNEW it was a FUMBLE.. I froze my ass off for us to get robbed by the ref.. BS Rule and call, even after the game Brady said on tv here he fumbled. All Patriots and their fans can stick that call up their @sses!!

The reality is that anyone who knows football, knows that the Pats have two legit Superbowls, not three. No need for an *. Everyone saw it, including Pats fans, they know.
