Bear studs and duds

If that football crossed the goal line, it wasn't by much. If he flips it early, no touchdown. I don't know who recovered it, if it went out of bounds or what afterwards, but they called it a TD after review, so I never paid attention.

Ok, I understand now (I didn't see the td). I thought you meant his showboating could have been called a taunting penalty.

How would that negate the touchdown? I believe in this case the defense has the option of taking the 15 yard penalty on the PAT or the ensuing kickoff, but it doesn't negate the touchdown.

It's not a td if he tosses the ball before it crosses or breaks the plane of the goal line. That's what he was close on.

Technically, in order for a td to be 'negated' there has to be a td in the first place. If he lost the ball before he crossed the goal line then it wouldn't have been a td, so it would not have been 'negated'. Now if the original post had said 'prevented' instead of 'negated', then I wouldn't have been confused. As I said in an earlier post, I realize now what he meant.

Nelson isn't the whole problem; I know I never said so, and don't recall anyone else making that claim. But his absence is big part of the problems.

That's the point of the post. Something more than Nelson's absence is responsible for offense being so bad.
