I know a lot of guys here have played football, had a question about a rule.
In a pick up game it was 4th & 1. The qb pitches the ball weak side to the rb, the ball bounces off his chest, he bobbles it in his hands it goes out of bounds right at the first marker, he goes out of bounds before the marker. He never got control, they said the ball was fumbled out of bounds at the first marker so first down, it was very close, I was saying no way turn over on downs.
Who was right? I don't think that call is right, you could just hand off to the rb, he could "fumble" and just chuck the ball out of bounds over the first down marker, and first down every time.
So who was right?
