    Well he had 2 taken away from him. But those can't count.

    Ok, speaking of the td taken away from him. Did anyone see the jets wr get the td for virtually the same one legged catch as Pickens?

    Yeah, I came on to mention it. Garrett Wilson's left foot hit twice inbounds but other foot never came down. Actually, his other foot did come down but his knee was clearly out by then. So, it was a catch with a left foot and left shin. What?

    I couldn't believe it when they called it a TD because this just happened to GP.

    Amazing catch, and I think it should've been a TD, but you have to follow the same rule for everyone.

    I came to say the same.
    I know the rules, but If a foot, and a shin on the same leg should count.....then the same foot twice should count. Yes I know it's not the rules, but I can't see the difference. Now if it was a foot, and then a shin from the other leg....I get it, but dude scored last night with a foot, and then a shin from the same leg....:shrug:

    You guys clearly don't know the rules and aren't paying attention either. It was explained very clearly during the broadcast. Wilson's shin came down. The rule is 2 feet or any other body part, excluding hands. A shin counts as 2 feet.
    Did Pickens shin touch the ground? If not, it's not even close to being the same thing and the rules are the same for everyone.

    Without Pickens, would we have a legit threat to throw deep? He is tall and fairly physical.

    Has to put some fear in defensive coordinators. Don`t they usually put their best guy on him?

    Only way to evolve into a more potent offense (and truly compete) is Pickens catching deep throws on a regular basis.

    Bottom line: Pickens is key to our passing game IMO.

    I believe everyone knows the rules, as has been stated. Nobody is saying it's not the the rules. What is being stated is it makes no sense. Same foot twice on the same leg doesn't count (we know this), but the same foot, and shin on the same leg counts(we know this), but it still makes no sense.

    That's your take. I wasn't referring to you when I said people don't know the rules and didn't pay attention to the explanation given. I have no problem with people disagreeing with the rules. What I have no time for is when people refuse to take the time to learn before spouting BS.
    The quotes are below and are self-explanatory

    As for Pickens, I appreciate his talent. I appreciate what he brings to this team. I don't appreciate his ongoing lack of effort on many plays.
    Just watch the guy coming out of his breaks. He's lazy and uninterested on many plays.

    I'm sorry I wasted your time by spouting BS. It's unacceptable and I'd like to make it right. Seriously, this is important.

    How much time would you say that you spent reading my post? What compensation do you feel would make you whole again? Is there any amount of money? I'll never be at peace again if you don't let me fix this.

    It's all good. Some people choose to educate and inform themselves. Others refuse to do so and have no problem spouting misinformation.

    You do you.
