On the Boley horse collar – The argument seems to be that – who knows if he would have scored if he hadnt been tackled ? Why is the onus on Boley in this case ? Prove to me that he WOULDNT have scored and I will accept the penalty as it is now but why shouldnt there be a penalty TD if , in the opinion of the ref the player with the ball would have had an unimpeded path to the goal which I think Boley did . In this case , anything less than a penalty TD makes it very obvious that there will always be someone who will be willing to take a lesser penalty .Look he probably would have done it anyway no matter what the penalty since there is always the chance that it doesnt get called but at least the ball carrier doesnt get penalized for something he DIDNT do
Because that’s now how you play sports. What most sports do if give you an easier chance to score. Take basketball getting two free throws or soccer/hockey with penulty kicks. You never actually are given the score but just an easier chance to because the fact is you didn’t score. Maybe Boley steps out of bounds or fumbles the ball out of bounds, you just can’t assume a TD would happen. A fair consequence is getting the ball first and goal and the 1 yard line which we basically did. Now just because we messed up and didn’t score a TD (the refs helped too) doesn’t mean our chance wasn’t fair.
Let’s also realize this exact opposite play could happen to us and we would be applauding Beatty for doing the same thing Smith did. There should be a fair rule not just something that would have helped more in the Boley situation.
Nothing in sports is a given anyway.
But the point I think you’re missing is that it’s a dangerous play. And yes, while Smith was fined 16k, it doesn’t take away the fact that we missed out on scoring a TD on that drive, which Boley would have had he not been illegally tackled from behind.
In basketball, the clear path foul was JUST put into place a few years ago, because what happened was a player would commit a foul and no free throws would come of it. Now, they commit a clear path foul, and it’s automatic 2 FT’s and the ball. This was done, because had a player committed a clear path foul, the other team wasn’t statistically averaging 2 pts.
I think the team should have a bigger advantage resulting from a dangerous tackle then putting the ball on the 1. Which is why i like either the tackler being ejected or getting the ball back after a score. The penalty should really be only if the team who has the “clear path” is inside the 10 yd line.
anyway… this is pointless since it’ll never happen.
But the NFL SHOULD look into it.
2 free throws is not automatic though. That’s the point you missing. Hitting 2 free throws and scoring a TD from the 1 yard line on first and goal are about the same odds. Nothing is giving, it’s just providing an opportunity.
I guess an addition to this idea could be that inside the 10 (or 20) yard line a team would have the ability to use 15 yards penalty on the kickoff or half a distance on a 2 point try and not just the ball on the 1 yard line. Which is kind of like the equivalent in the NBA of getting possession again after free throws.
“at the end of the day,” Smith knew the rules, knew he would suffer no consequences, and would save a touchdown.
Great heads up play, there are other things that people should be penalized for, like holding a receiver at the goal line, or JPP every play.
We def don’t want the refs to have any more rules to infer, and ruin the games, they have a hard enough time as it is, replacement or real life.
We’re sounding like the 40 Whiners.
Wish we hit like them.
I don’t love Harbaugh, but his teams play tough, physical, ball and will intimidate you if you allow it. Against Dallas we wouldn’t have intimidated their cheerleaders.
Coulda sworn you hada man crush on Harbaugh.
Nope, I know him, and I think he’s a fine coach. Doesn’t mean I like him.
Im kind of on the side of ” let the punishment fit the crime ”
Lets say Smith does nothing -whats the chances of Boley scoring ? about 99 %
If there is a rule that there is a penalty TD on a play where the player would be unimpeded to the goal if not for the foul then its a 100% chance there is a score .
To me thats much more even odds than a faulty penalty where the punishment DOESNT fit the crime . And before anyone says but thats not the rule , I agree but Im saying the rule should be changed . Look what happened . Smith fouled Boley who was 99 % sure to score a TD worth 6 points plus a point after . . A field goal gets kicked ?
Then Smith has changed those odds to 50 % by a foul which to me is not the intent of a penalty
Of course if we had an offensive line worth a damn, we could have f-cking scored from the ONEGODDAMNYARDLINE!!!!!!!
And I dont want to hear about Gilbride or Bradshaw. If our OL was solid, they could have just run up Baas’ a-s, or Boothe’s or Snee’s. The fact that they all suck necessitates Gilbride’s “creativity tic,” and exacerbates Bradshaw’s “gotta switch positions quicker than Mitt Romney” tendency.
Oh, and if Old Man Hardass doesn’t bench him after 2 carries, maybe Wilson scores there.
Linval should be the fullback on Goal line stances.
No arguments here. Lots of team have veritable jumbo packages on goal line situations. Why don’t we?
