Reply to comment by Aww_FireTruck in The Jaguars score from a turnover to go ahead against the Titans, they will make the playoffs after starting 4-8 and being 4 games behind in the division by PodOfManyTides

That is just objectively a incorrect opinion. It’s not a terrible call, the rules explicitly outline this situation and instances of quarterbacks losing grip and knocking the ball forward happen routinely and are routinely called fumbles. This is not a unique situation and was called in line with precedent and rules.

The jags are sneaky good. Even when they were 4-8 a lot of their losses were single scores. They also tend to be in the feast and famine thing where they will blow out teams or stay close and fall apart at the end.

I honestly have no idea how they will do in the playoffs. The afc wild card teams all look beatable for the jags.

I think it was a forward pass, but I can see where it could be argued as a fumble. It looked like a lot of that forward motion came from his fingertips hitting the ball after it was well out of his hands. And if he had control of the ball then it would have been long gone before his fingers had a chance to hit it.

The difference is he wasn’t gripping the ball. It came loose and then got pushed by his hand. The same has happened to Rodgers multiple times. It’s the definition of a fumble, doesn’t matter if it goes forward.

I disagree. He has played ok to that point, the box was loaded, and you have to try to pick up a first down. He just has to know to get the ball out quicker than that, even if he doesn’t see the blitzer. It should’ve been drilled into him on the sideline “count to 2 and let it fly.”

God could be all knowing, all powerful and loving in its own terms if you imagine it being some sort of programmer who created this software for simulating us. He (or whichever gender) could be all knowing in the sense that at any given moment he can check the state of the system and all powerful that he can tweak the state or save/load, and loving in the sense that he totally loves the system he built. It keeps him entertained for years. And he's not even a psychopath, because he thinks it's all just code, and he's otherwise a kind person irl.
