After seeing the Seahawks/Rams game last night I came to the conclusion, if the Seahawks win a game luck played a big part in the game. I site the fumble of a snap to Dave Kreig, ending up being a touchdown for the Seahawks. I feel that it is possible that the TD could have been ruled invalid and given the Seahawks the ball on the 30 yard line with a first down. I don't remember the rules on fumbles and a like but the defender(after watching the play 20 times in disbelief) appeared to have controlled the ball long enough to rule another fumble. If this is true then the pass Kreig throw was invalid. The ball would then go to the Seahawks on the fumble at the 20 yard line plus an 10 yard penalty charge on #17 for an illegal pass. The Seahawks ball on the Ram 30. I would like to hear any comments on the play. And some people think my Broncs are luck, hah. The Seahawks' luck makes the Broncos' luck look like bad luck. GO Broncos Mike Schwarz P. S. Bring on the Dolphins. By the way any body in New York can tell me if The Broncos/Dolphins game is being broadcasted in the area. I definitely want to view this game, and I will be in NYC area this weekend. I will be back on the net Oct 21, and will miss 2 Broncos games, (sigh)

It was amazing, but I don't think the Ram defender controlled the ball at all, definitely not "long enough" for it to be considered "in his possession". I think the outcome of the play was legal.
