Alfred Morris - dropping the ball before crossing the plane

[Phat Hog]

Touchdown washington redskins!!!!!

[Popeman38]

The issue is not about whether this TD was actually good or not, it is about the fact that he began the process of letting go of the ball before he was fully in the end zone. He may have still had the ball, but it was close, and if this keeps on happening, one of these days he could pull a Deshawn Jackson. Or what if the on field official did call it a fumble, even if he is wrong, there would need to be indisputable visual evidence to over turn it.

For safety sake, lets get two steps in the end zone before we throw the ball away.

The issue here is Redskins fans are so accustomed to bad things happening on offense they are creating a concern for the offense. If anyone watches a sideline replay, the ball is released a full yard into the endzone. A full yard into the endzone is no different than carrying it in and spiking it at the back of the endzone because as soon as the nose of the ball breaks the plane (the edge of the goal line field side) a TD has been scored. By carrying the ball 39 yards not just to the goal line, but over it and a yard past it, Morris convincingly (and very CLEARLY) possessed the ball, crossed the goal line while in possession of the ball, and was awarded a TD. The play was reviewed immediately by the replay official who then confirmed with the one field official that the TD would stand.

IF the order was stupid, this thread delivers.

That was some serious funny right there!

Oh my god! How dare he do something like that. Replace him now! We can't allow this sort of thing to happen even if he is our #1 RB. This has to stop now! What a stupid thread.

where there is smoke there is fire. Skins fans aren't lying about being concerned at the time.

He may have started celebrating a little too early. It's ok to admit it.

Yes he had the ball as he crossed the goal line. No one is disputing that.

Because he is a man.

The saying goes...

"Pee for Alfred, Pee for RG3, Pee for all in the gold and burgundy. Two shakes for the Redskins....."

[Alaskins]

Yeah, Have to agree with the crowd here.

Why make an issue of something that isn't?

[Blue Collar Skins]

I think it reminds him of

[#BgMase76#]

Still looks like the ball is in his hand. He is cutting it close though!

Yeah, balls still in his possesion and more importantly it has broken the plane.

I thought it was if you shake it more than once you're playing with yourself...but I could be wrong
