I literally jumped out of my chair when he did that! I hit the replay button as fast as I could to make sure he was touched before doing that. I would have to think that someone has a little talk with him about that. I could only imagine the mess it would have been if he was not touched. I had my heart in my mouth the entire time

Oh I did.

Was he touched?
I thought he just gave himself up, but still..dumb dumb move.
Don't want to make the highlight reel of the stupids -

I was up from my chair, certainly.
-
Even touched, he should be more careful -

He should have kept running. On the replay they showed him roll into one DB's legs and caused the DB to flip over him.
But, the way Myers put it, even if he wasn't touched, since he gave himself up on the play that would not have been a turnover, would it?
Even so, he should have gotten up and run into the end zone and be much more careful as CK notes. -
I nearly had a heart attack about 4-5 times during the game... yeah, that was one of them. :lol:

Pretty sure the tackler basically tripped over him. Even then, the whistle was blown basically immediately.
Did they show a replay on the Brandon Gibson catch? That very much looked like he extended the ball over the goal line. -
I was at the game and I was panicked for a brief moment wondering ,"WTF did he just do?!?!?" but no one else ever reacted to anything so I thought it was just me...
-
I heard the whistle right away..so I knew that if he had done that, they weren't gonna take the ball away.
-
Yeah I did. At first I thought he hadn't been touched and screamed for him to get up, then he put the ball down and I freaked, was trying to tell the other players to get the ball because they could obviously hear me through the TV.

I had to watch the game on NFL Rewind, so I had it on condensed setting (whole game, every play, 35-40 minutes total) so there wasn't a whole lot of time between the end and the next play where we still had it. Had I watched it live or full broadcast recording, I'd probably be dead.

Yes and yes... I challenge anyone to find three plays so dramatic in succession... actually four although I don't think they were in a row... well five damnit...
Lamar Miller drop... damn near hurt myself on that one...
Brandon Gibson for the first down on third down, he's knocked backwards, yet has enough awareness to get the first down anyway
Charles Clay down the seam, is he touched or not, flips the ball onto the ground, two players go fighting for it...no worries...
Brandon Gibson again, stretching the ball out near the goal line with one hand, sees the defender coming to knock it out, knows he isn't going to get the TD, and brings it back to his body
And then the one handed touchdown by Dion Sims, beautiful pass by Tannehill... one handed...
Seriously, those five plays should all end up on a highlight reel somewhere. That was our Dolphins wasn't it? Craziness...Finrunner likes this. -

The Clay play freaked me out too. I was yelling for him to get up and run into the end zone, and then he just tosses the ball away. I guess the ref blew the whistle and you couldnt hear it on TV, but still. FAR too loose. Don't do anything that could be taken the wrong way there. Hug the ball until the play is clearly over. I totally dont get this new trend of players treating the ball as if its poison as soon as they've made a big run or catch.

I think Clay would have been pretty aware he was touched given the circumstances.
-
He must have known he was touched though because he was pretty nonchalant about it. -
Whats this about Balls in a corner?
-
Yes that was very stupid. Receivers always seem to drop balls to fast in this league(after the catch,) even in the Endzone. Lets not forget the Jackson debacle for Philly one yard out.
-
Maybe it was the angle of where I was sitting in the stands, or me just being so stoked at the catch i couldn't contain my crazy, but this wasn't something I even noticed when it happened. I only learned about it reading here. After re watching it I can say it was very dumb.
-
He must have known he got touched and heard the Whistle. But for a second, yeah I thought that was one of those unforced fumbled we'd seen cocky players doing lately.

What was very stupid?
