So the problem is he was a defender and batted and not kicked the ball?
Because can't a punter kick a ball out of the back of his endzone to take a safety on a snap that goes over his head?

Not a dumb rule at all.

Exactly, what if a Lions player had been about to fall on the ball? Lions ball

The coaches and players not knowing the rule is understandable.

They fumbled on the 1. They deserved to lose.

That's a penalty too. It results in a safety because the penalty occurred in

Pretty sure if a punter does that, it's a penalty

Regarding your basketball comparison:

Thanks for the laugh. Steve Young and Ray Lewis both were wondering when that

It actually gets called all the time.

All the time? I've never seen it called. Ever.

Haha you've never seen a punter kick the ball out the back of the end zone when

Yes, I've seen that. Never seen a flag thrown because of it.

Weird. I've never seen them miss it when the punter does it.

Wow I am so glad I have you to interpret what I say. Thank you.

the ref should have made the call precisely BECAUSE of the time and score.

Refs, especially replay refs, shouldn't be running their own court of equity.

I echo Steve Young and Ray Lewis. They seemed bewildered about that rule

It is. It wasn't when Steve Young played. Ray should know it.
The Dude Abides
10/6/15 9:54am
False. It was a rule when Steve Young played, yet he had no idea.

That's because it would result in a safety when he did it, which is
