Was Fields robbed?

[Toast88]

The thing that no one is talking about with the play at the goal line is that no one helps push Fields across. Once Fields is contacted, don't push the defender, push Fields. Like that is common sense. Yeah you can't do that by the letter of the rule, but they never call that.

Kmet was pulling guys off Fields instead of pushing him, lol. That dude can’t win.

it was a horrible play call. I believe he crossed the line, but they were correct in not over-turning it

Definitely didn't cross the line. Question was did he manage to bearly break the front edge of the line. Anybody who has watched football would know there was no definitive evidence to reverse that call so it's odd that a HC wouldn't know the same.

Doesn't have to cross the line.....just break the plane.

"If even the tip of the ball breaks the plane, a touchdown is awarded as long as the player with the ball has full control of it."

But that doesn't really matter......

Does it suck to watch shit handed to Green Bay when they don't really need it? Yeah, sure it does. But for a team that is going nowhere, it's better just to do what this team was built to do. Lose NFL football games. Stick to the task at hand which is tanking. Let the NFL coddle their little friends up in northern Wisconsin while they win another meaningless NFC North title....then watch them pack their bags sometime early in the playoffs. The Bears need talent a lot more than to win a few more games that will ultimately become totally meaningless in January.

Of course he was robbed. The general consensus, outside of bias, is that he scored.

All it has to do is just break the plane of the goal line....it did. But his hand was covering it so they could not overturn it....to overturn it needs to be conclusive.
