[QUOTE="PackwillBEback, post: 589712, member: 446"] So, obviously (once again) many fans have no idea what is going on. Lions fans are crying foul. Even though Mike Pereira correctly analyzed the call: [URL='https://twitter.com/MikePereira'] [B]Mike Pereira[/B] @[B]MikePereira[/B] [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/MikePereira/status/549349378528247808']Dec 28[/URL] Right call in [URL='https://twitter.com/hashtag/DETvsGB?src=hash']#[B]DETvsGB[/B][/URL] -- The contact makes Lacy automatically down. So, to educate people a bit, this is WHY Lacy did not fumble the ball and the correct call was made, so you can show the crying Lions fans that refuse to acknowledge objectiveness some factual, opinionated information. Per the NFL rulebook: Rule 7, Section 2, Article 1-f: "An official shall declare the ball dead and the down ended: when an opponent takes a ball that is in the possession of a runner who is on the ground." and the Casebook example in Article 7.30: "First-and-10 on A40. A2 and B3 collide in air at the B30 as both legally go for a pass. They fall to the ground without the ball, and then A2 catches the ball while lying on the ground. After a momentary pause, B3 reaches over and takes the ball from A2. Ruling: A’s ball, first-and-10 on B30. An opponent cannot take the ball away from a player in possession while he is down on the ground. (7-2-1-f)" Absolutely clear cut, the letter of the rule backed by a thorough example in the NFL's casebook demonstrates why Walt Anderson got the call right. He knows the rulebook, he knows the casebook and he knows how to apply it. That is why he officiated Super Bowl XLV, and some ignorant, fat Lions fan cries. [/QUOTE]
