I don't think either interpretation of the rules (driving him into ground, or landing with full weight) apply here.
The entire rule is a fucking joke. Period.
The fact we are discussing the nuance of guy falling down on a hit proves it.

Exactly. I felt the same way.Originally posted by mraynrand View PostAn amazing thing happened after that play. Instead of being angry, I lost interest in the outcome of the game. Regardless of outcome, the game was tainted.
Here the Packers are playing the Vikings, huge game, and I literally didn't care at that point.

Speaking of rules, early in the game Cousins through a deep ball that the receiver was no where near (he had run the wrong route). Cousins was under pressure and inside the tackles; why isn't that grounding?
For the record, I don't think it should have be grounding......but it seems to have been within all the definitions of the rule.After lunch the players lounged about the hotel patio watching the surf fling white plumes high against the darkening sky. Clouds were piling up in the west… Vince Lombardi frowned.

There was one play that the refs said he was under no pressure, so no intentional grounding. But I don't remember which play it was.Originally posted by HowardRoark View PostSpeaking of rules, early in the game Cousins through a deep ball that the receiver was no where near (he had run the wrong route).

That's how I read the explanation too......but the new rule that we are alluding to; is that because of Barr?Originally posted by pbmax View PostNope. See image post below from the Ref and Demovsky.
That would have sucked to have that hit cost us a season and now a game this season too.After lunch the players lounged about the hotel patio watching the surf fling white plumes high against the darkening sky. Clouds were piling up in the west… Vince Lombardi frowned.

Packers were better through halftime and most of 3rd. Gave up the long TD and that completely changed the game.Originally posted by Teamcheez1 View PostI actually thought the Vikings played a better game than the Packers and we were lucky to escape with a tie.
Packer offense was no great shakes after half though.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
