Like they were saying today, I think the refs need to start considering intent when they throw the flag or in situations of a possible "tuck" rule. Plummer's intent was to pull the ball back in and scramble around. I think the rule needs serious changing. I said the samething in that Raider game a couple years ago.

I also believe that rules are becoming TOO mechanical. I've seen completions and fumbles called incomplete after the receiver had caught the ball and taken two steps. I think when you try to be too precise with a rule, it has a counter effect.
