For instance, if entire forearm right up to the start of elbow hits the ground, keep running, elbow full-on with any bit above and you are down.
Kneel down in EZ on kickoff, full knee w/top of kneecap. If you graze your shin and maybe bottom of knee plate while scrambling, keep running.

The part about his forward progress being stopped was a joke about the DJ hit against Mariota in the playoffs a few years back. Of course that was a fumble and not an INT. I'm off my game. [Reply]

Why the fuck did you have to bring up that memory? That was a terrible call. Although I think it was this past week there was a very similar call where the announcers were saying that the refs called forward progress way too quickly. Can't remember which game it was now. [Reply]

He vacated a clean pocket. His Ts had kept the middle open for him and Humphrey had the block and the angle on his man. Mahomes, instead of taking 2 steps up and hitting Kelce over the middle, abandoned the pocket outright, blew Humphries blocking angle and got himself hit.
Then he compounded the problem with an ill-advised throw.
It was very possibly the worst single rep I have ever seen from Mahomes. There was simply no reason for it and nothing redeemable about it.
Great, great, GREAT player who was the reason we went shot for shot with Baltimore in that game. But that was a truly awful play.
Even then, I believe he still had Robinson alone on the left sideline. [Reply]
It was a bad play. But know what, it was the right read. He had kelce and was probably a split second from making the kind of wild throw mahomes always makes. With Mahomes its just so hard to call a play ill advised because he makes that type of throw nine times out of 10. [Reply]

Good breakdown. Didn't see it that way originally but that makes sense. [Reply]
The worst call of the game (the PI against Badger which sustained a failing Dirt Bird drive) demonstrated beyond all reasonable doubt that the NFL wanted us to lose in order to save and promote the declining career of Jackson.

And Mahomes wasn't down.

It was defensive holding on a play where Jackson was sacked.
