Agree there is too much angst, but it is inconsistent

if you fumble forward and no one recovers it before it goes out of bounds in the field of play, the ball stays with the offense and goes back to the spot of the fumble. That could be applied to fumbles through the end zone, but I don't have an issue with there being a specific rule for when the ball goes out of the end zone, it's a rule, like all the others.

Illegal block in the back? Is there a legal block in the back?-Andy Rooney**
KCHokie2 • 03/07/24 06:34 PM ET
actually yes, inside the tackle box you can block in the back**

b) drives me crazy. Never understood the logic of that rule.**

I'd say give the other team the ball on the 1 yard line

Disagry... I've never understood the angst about that rule

I can kind of understand if it goes out of the back of the EZ

I think moose gutting should be required in more sports.
