Do you mean it's positioned out of bounds, or if you hit it you're out of bounds? Because clearly the latter is not the case, as we just saw on the Mahomes TD.The pylon is out of bounds. If it was inside the white line it would be in bounds
You see it a lot, actually. It's not that rare for a guy to lay out and hit the pylon with the ball and it's always called a TD.Do you mean it's positioned out of bounds, or if you hit it you're out of bounds? Because clearly the latter is not the case, as we just saw on the Mahomes TD.
The pylon is out of bounds IN the end zone. If any part of the ball touches any part of the pylon it’s a TD.Yes, but announcers seem to say if a player hits the pylon, he’s in.
The key then is to knock the pylon out. If Mahomes had hit it square with the tip of the ball and pushed it straight back, would they have ruled him OOB?
And if you hit the outside edge of the pylon, you’re out. But I can’t recall if I’ve ever seen it called that way.
Maybe I’m forgetting the obvious or am going senile,
Both. But he’s out of bounds in the end zone, so it results in a TD.Do you mean it's positioned out of bounds, or if you hit it you're out of bounds? Because clearly the latter is not the case, as we just saw on the Mahomes TD.
That's a pretty important follow up to your first comment.The pylon is out of bounds IN the end zone. If any part of the ball touches any part of the pylon it’s a TD.
He definitely covers up a lot in the Chiefs shitty secondary.Hard to see the Chiefs winning without Mathieu.
That makes no sense. It's out of bounds in the end zone? But if you touch it it's a TD?The pylon is out of bounds IN the end zone. If any part of the ball touches any part of the pylon it’s a TD.
He's out of bounds in the end zone so it results in a TD? I don't understand that at all.Both. But he’s out of bounds in the end zone, so it results in a TD.
It doesn't make sense. And for some weird reason CFB is being cagey about it.He's out of bounds in the end zone so it results in a TD? I don't understand that at all.
Pylon is placed beyond the plane of the goal.That makes no sense. It's out of bounds in the end zone? But if you touch it it's a TD?
Because If you touch it it means you’ve broken the plane, as it’s in the end zone.He's out of bounds in the end zone so it results in a TD? I don't understand that at all.
But there’s the rub.The pylon is out of bounds IN the end zone. If any part of the ball touches any part of the pylon it’s a TD.
Yeah but if it's OOB, you've broken the plane OUT OF BOUNDS. So if Mahomes extended, missed the pylon, and the ball hit NEXT TO the pylon but out of bounds, is it a TD?Because If you touch it it means you’ve broken the plane, as it’s in the end zone.
The pylon is the intersection of the goal line and the out of bounds. When you touch it you are simultaneously both out of bounds and also in the end zone. This is easy to understand for loose balls: fumble a ball into the pylon and it’s a touchback or safety (depending on which end zone). For runners it just means the “point of progress” is marked as having been in the end zone. Which is a TD.He's out of bounds in the end zone so it results in a TD? I don't understand that at all.
People watching ads respond favorably to creepily overprotective dads (who hasn’t been there, ohhh dad, ha ha!), I am sure some focus group suggested.Does this dude in the Chevy commercial think dude is going to pork his daughter in the bed of his truck while he's in the front seat?
I think the question is best asked whether it is a TD to touch the outside of the pylon with the ball. I believe the answer is no. The ball must go over or touch the inside of the pylon. At least that is what one of the on air refs said this year.Yeah but if it's OOB, you've broken the plane OUT OF BOUNDS. So if Mahomes extended, missed the pylon, and the ball hit NEXT TO the pylon but out of bounds, is it a TD?
Still makes no sense. If you're out of bounds, you're not IN the end zone. The end zone is all IN BOUNDS. If the pylon is out of bounds, you are therefore not in the end zone.The pylon is the intersection of the goal line and the out of bounds. When you touch it you are simultaneously both out of bounds and also in the end zone.

Outside or inside of the pylon - it's all out of bounds. So how can touching it anywhere be IN the end zone, which is an area of the field that is IN bounds?I think the question is best asked whether it is a TD to touch the outside of the pylon with the ball.

The Goal Line doesn’t end at the sideline, it actually ends at the outside edge of the pylon. So each pylon is 4 inches wide, thus the goal line is actually 8 inches wider than every other line.Outside or inside of the pylon - it's all out of bounds. So how can touching it anywhere be IN the end zone, which is an area of the field that is IN bounds?
I do not think it is physically possible for the ball to touch the inside of the pylon but not have crossed the plane with at least some portion of the ball in bounds.Outside or inside of the pylon - it's all out of bounds. So how can touching it anywhere be IN the end zone, which is an area of the field that is IN bounds?
Yeah this is the point I was trying to make. If it hits the pylon it necessarily crossed the plane of the goal.I do not think it is physically possible for the ball to touch the inside of the pylon but not have crossed the plane with at least some portion of the ball in bounds.
I get that that's the rule. It's dumb though. Oh well, whatever.The Goal Line doesn’t end at the sideline, it actually ends at the outside edge of the pylon. So each pylon is 4 inches wide, thus the goal line is actually 8 inches wider than every other line.
Any part of the ball touching any part of the pylon, or crossing over any part of the pylon, is a touchdown.
Nope, the Chiefs can eat a bowl of the genitalia of their choice.Does anyone else just feel indifferent about this game? I can usually muster up more hate for one team over the other. I just really want both teams to lose and don’t really care about the outcome.
