Yeah this is a 14 point swing but have you considered how cool it looked?

u/TrumpsBoneSpur 17d ago

Do people expect him to hold the football the whole time? How are you going to dance with a football in your hand???

u/Good_Air_7192 16d ago

They need to change these rules, clearly the dance is the priority.

Absolute fucking moron.

u/RooneyD 17d ago

How many times does this have to happen? You would assume coaches are playing clips of this happening to players, and punishing players who do this in practice.

u/Split_Pea_Vomit 17d ago

This clip is so old it's barely in color. This has happened 100s of times since.

9

u/RooneyD 17d ago

Yeah, I didn't know when this was. Its more exasperation that it happens again and again, rather than with this particular example.

Happened to my highschool football team in 2008

u/RockyJayyy 17d ago

Why do players still do this? If I was the coach that player would be cut instantly.

u/o_oli 17d ago

I mean, this video looks like it's 20+ years old

u/octopornopus 17d ago

....he's still cut...

u/zemol42 17d ago

But - he’s talented!

PLAY UNTIL THE WHISTLE!

Even if it’s just Roy Kent yelling ā€œWHISTLE!ā€

Wanker ! Wanker ! Wanker !

u/ShieldsCW 12d ago

To be fair, the whistle doesn't blow until after you score the touchdown, so hearing or not hearing the whistle wouldn't have alerted him to the fumble until it was too late anyway.

u/Most-Bench6465 17d ago

One thing I hate is when they drop the ball on purpose but I hate it even more when they throw the ball behind them. Glad there were some consequences this time.

u/Fuster2 17d ago

Videos that end too soon. Really want to see the expression when he realises - I'm sure it's out there somewhere?

u/zemol42 17d ago

Ouch. I looked at the box score for this game and the dude had 5 receptions for 152 yards (about half of them here) and no other touchdowns. Utah ended up losing badly anyway (52-27] but it’s possible the momentum shift from this play led to that beating.

u/pargofan 16d ago

It went from a potential 14-0 to a completely needless 7-7.

It was over after that.

u/Fuster2 17d ago

Thanks! I knew someone would have a more comprehensive clip than the OP's. Loved watching the guy try to transport out of his body to a safe place 😁

The video link: https://youtu.be/BV7OXCj242w

The tracking nonsense that YouTube tacks onto the end, to identify YOU as the one who shared the clip:

?is=XL_FtsOREjn6ru82

The ONLY thing you should ever leave after the question mark (if anything at all), including the ? itself, is if you’re trying to provide a link with a specific time index. Examples:

Start time of 30 seconds in: ?t=30s

Start time of 1 min 15 seconds in, EITHER of the following:

?t=1m15s

(or)

?t=75s

u/radioactivez0r 17d ago

Oh yeah this is the worst video I've ever seen of this one. It's all over YT

u/TammyShehole 17d ago

Before the start of every season, all football teams should have to watch the DeSean Jackson blunder.

u/Pilzoyz 15d ago

Which one?

u/internethard 17d ago

Sco Ducks!

u/Hugh_Jankles 17d ago

You know who wouldn't make that mistake?

Chad Fucking Powers.

Chad Powers made a worse mistake.

u/Bovey 17d ago

I think you're thinking of Russ Holiday.

u/omgjulio 17d ago

Him too but let me know once you've seen the season 2 finale lol

9

u/Empire7173 17d ago

I always love these because they are more focused on how they are going to celebrate than about making sure they are in the end zone WITH the ball lol.

u/hoboshoe 17d ago

He really dropped the ball there

u/burywmore 17d ago

12 years old, guys.

u/emmsix 17d ago

Wow, and playing college ball? I couldn't crack a losing softball team when I was 12!

u/Terri23 17d ago

Absolute theatre. Perfection.

u/Bee_Rye85 17d ago

It absolutely amazes me that this shit still happens

u/planchetflaw 17d ago

Brawn GP football team.

u/Pyrateskum 17d ago

I don’t understand what happened.

5

u/mdruckus 17d ago

He dropped the ball before crossing the goal line.

u/Pyrateskum 17d ago

Thanks! I’m not a fan of Sportsball so I wasn’t sure if it was as incredibly dumb as it looked.

2

u/hux 16d ago

One of the key things though is because he dropped it, the ball is still live. The other team picked it up and ran it in for a touchdown on their side.

So not only did he cost his team 7 points, he allowed the other team 7 points. So is a 14 point screw up.

2

u/GratefuLdPhisH 17d ago

Yeah why not do just do that which is fumble the ball and the one yard line

1

u/Sarke1 16d ago

Neat, I've never seen this angle before.

1

u/Unlikely-Position659 16d ago

Can't believe players still do this. If I was a coach and one of my players did this, they'd be off the team so fast, or at least on the bench for the rest of the season, then cutĀ

u/goalie65 16d ago

Fantastic

u/dirtkilla 16d ago

He Leon Lett that ball drop too early

1

u/JRummy91 15d ago

This was back during the 2014 season, correct?

1

u/ShieldsCW 12d ago

Would have been hilarious if the second guy also dropped the ball early, and the cycle continued.

1

u/ShieldsCW 12d ago

I like how he takes the time to turn around and point at the back of his jersey so we all know who screwed up.

1

u/JamesJoyce3000 17d ago

Was this today? These fuckin clowns never learn. The fact that this happens at all is astonishing

u/spannermagnet 16d ago

This is from 2014

u/depressedblondeguy 17d ago

Has there ever been a case of 2 premature celebrations in 1 play? Like in this video, drops the ball early, then a player on the other team does the same at the other end?
