OT... Osweiler non fumble and the rule...
Moderator: wab
OK... So how was that not a fumble? Announcers were saying how difficult of a decision it was... His arm wasn't in a throwing motion... that ended when he tried to bring it back in. I don't understand how that isn't a fumble. Any type of explanation from the NFL rulebook still won't convince me otherwise.
”Damn -- Khalil Mack had another strip sack?” Gruden asked rhetorically, shaking his head at the Oakland Raiders assistant coaches in his midst. “Are you ... kidding me?”

Tough call. But it looked like part of a throwing motion to me.

In a vacuum of a QB throwing the ball in that motion...its a fumble all day long.
When the force of a 260lb defender is knocking you into next week on a blind side hit, all bets are off as to what the arm is doing after a throwing motion was started.

I will kill you if you cut me at the knees. You will drink with me when invited and stay til I say so. We only listen to American Music. I make men nervous with just my presence. I expect an apology if you hold. I throw linemen at QB's. Believe the Lore!
I watched some of that game. I wondered why he couldn’t airmail it to open receivers against us?Otis Day wrote:Gee, Osweiler can only beat the Bears, WTF?
Of course, tougher to airmail it when you’re throwing it straight down the line of scrimmage to Wilson, who then jogs 80 yards untouched to the end zone.

the Bears defense did more to help Osweiller that day than to help the Bears
