I can totally see why the greatest fat man loved Dan Campbell.

You guys may hate the Kelce fam, but 100% I'd go drinking with them.
I don't hate them. I wished we had them in their primes with the exception of moving Jason to after Fredbeard.

It makes me wonder what they would change it to. Putting the ball at the 1 and leaving it with the offense seems like too far in the other direction.
Leaving at the spot of the fumble. That's what they do on the rest of the field if it is fumbled out of bounds.

I like the current rule and don't see what's wrong with being penalized for being careless with the ball near the goalline. Just hold on to the damn ball. If they change it, we're going to see people practically throwing the ball forward when they get close because there will be no penalty for losing it.

Maybe you could let them keep the ball but they have to start back at the 20 or something. But even then, it wouldn't make sense to give them a fresh set of downs, either. Maybe they just get 3rd and goal from the 20. That might be okay.

I say keep it as is. Reward the defense for making a play. Every other rule favors the offense.

Thoroughbred can't catch the ball too. That guy made some unbelievable cold weather, windy throws only to be dropped.

Look how Allen has played in losses. Let down by the inferior genes and talent around him.

No one could make that argument about Dak.

I probably take Allen over Dak. The playoff record is puzzling though.

Exactly. No reason to over complicate it. It makes way more sense to be consistent with the rest of the field.

So for a goal line fumble, spot at the 1?
