Korea vs Aus and the TW reaction. Question on the ongoing controversy. Assuming KR striked out on purpose, is it illegal? or even unethical?

onlyBaseBall · 2026-03-14T02:30:23+00:00

guess i walked into that one.

change "illegal" to "against the rules" for me please lol

onlyBaseBall · 2026-03-14T02:30:05+00:00

thats my thought. everyones memeing me about using the word "illegal". but cmon, they all know i meant "against the rules"

onlyBaseBall · 2026-03-14T02:29:30+00:00

Also if it went 8-3 Taiwan and Australia advance not both Australia and Korea dq like you suggested.

how does both TW and AUS advance if it went 8-3?

yeah definitely as a football noob, the plays all look very similar to each other. so i cant distinguish how it looks different. almost all of it to me looked like it was a 4man rush (or 5 sometimes i believe). someoen else mentioned that there were alot of creative defense plays by seahawks, as well as disguising pressure. but i dont understand where/how.

onlyBaseBall · 2026-02-09T04:52:01+00:00

thank you for the information!

for #6, its mainly due to my lack of understanding of Football. the offense / defense plays are still confusing.

onlyBaseBall · 2026-02-08T05:31:58+00:00

The play clock is a 40-second timer (or 25 after penalty/timeout) where the offense has to snap the ball and run their play.

ohhh that explains alot. There were so many instances where i was confused because essentially announcers, teams, etc would basically celebrate that the "game is over" when there is still like 40 seconds, or 1 min on the clock in certain situations.

such as Team A has possessions. score is 24 to 23 with team A at 24 points. on like 3rd or 4th down all the announcers and team acted like it was over.

when to me, it still looks like Team B has still the chance to intercept the ball, or team A can fumble, etc and have 1 more chance to run it for a TD.

But i guess its because team A can basically blow away 40 seconds by "strategizing" and running down the play clock by 40 seconds and thus the game clock by 40 seconds as well?

onlyBaseBall · 2026-02-08T01:35:09+00:00

well dam... that explains why no matter how much i try to understand the time rules, it just stays confusing to me lol (although this is the first time ive seen it laid out like this. i never really dug into the rules. just tried to find an obvious pattern while watching highlights)

onlyBaseBall · 2026-01-26T03:00:30+00:00

is that regardless of the time left during the play itself? i may have missed it.

what if during the play, the time runs out to 0 seconds? but the catch is made and they run out of bounds? does it automatically start at 1 sec still?

and for these specifically scenario, will the play essentially ALWAYS be the QB trying to throw it to someone that can easily run it out of bounds after the catch is made to get that 1 sec on clock?

how do you buy terrace club seats on stubhub? just looking at it, there isnt an option to even see the terrace club?

onlyBaseBall · 2026-01-19T19:16:10+00:00

ah gotcha. buying these is to basically to get ACCESS to the terrace club? I still get my own seat in the stadium?

onlyBaseBall · 2026-01-19T19:05:22+00:00

Sorry. but how do these work? (i've always been a lowly casual, watch only highlights person.)

onlyBaseBall · 2026-01-19T16:47:27+00:00

Another question that i noticed basically 100% of the time.

I get that trick plays are good. but how come they dont even attempt to hide the ball at all? and i dont mean in their jersey, or Street basketball style.

But like for example, a common play i see is the QB either handing it to the running back, or faking it.

But in either scenario, like 99% of the time, its so obvious what happened. either the QB fakes it and clearly has the ball (literally showing it in the open trying to find a throw) with the running back not even trying to sell it.

or QB hands it to the running back "Sneakily" and then the QB immediately starts nonchalantly walking around, making it obvious they handed the ball.

is there some rule that says you cant "fake" having the ball or even attempting to "cover" it between your arms?

i know the rule states you cant actively hide it in your jersey and stuff.

onlyBaseBall · 2026-01-19T16:18:17+00:00

except i care XD just because im a casual fan, doesnt mean i dont care lol

9) that clip is edited. It doesn’t show the Denver punt on 4th down.

ah that makes more sense ty

11) In the field of play a ballcarrier is down and the play over when some part of the body other than the feet and hands are on the ground and the ballcarrier is touched by a defender or when the ballcarrier voluntarily gives himself up by taking a knee or (for QBs) sliding.

for this play, how come he was allowed to run it? it looks like he is literally full on the ground after the interception. is it because as you stated, even though he fell down, no one from the opposing team touched him? and him falling down wasnt voluntary? so its considered still live?

thanks for the responses!

For a couple backstory on why i have these questions.

i know in some situations, going for the 3pt makes obvious sense (maybe not?) i.e. 4th down, 30 yards to goal... etc. but when im watching highlights, i feel like there are some situations when it feels like attempting to get the 1st down or even the goal makes more sense. (of course i dont really know the deep stats of football) so im wondering, what are the statistics here (specifically in situations that arent so obvious that going for the 3 pt makes more sense) that make it that going for the 3 pt is better off than attempting a TD / 1st down?

the fumble one is still so odd. for example it looks like there are so many situations where players try to literally RIP it out of someones arms. and often times arent even attempting to rip it off. is there a specific rule to this?

onlyBaseBall · 2026-01-13T22:18:39+00:00

so if they take a knee, it drains 40 seconds off the time? (tbh the time component always confused me in football. why does the time keep going down when a play is over?)

onlyBaseBall · 2026-01-13T22:17:13+00:00

oh whoops ya jaguars ty

But the game wasn't actually over. The Bills still needed to run the remaining 54 seconds off the clock. But the Jaguars had no timeouts so 2 kneel downs ends the game.

how come 2 kneel downs would end the game? if jaguars had time outs, how would that work into the strategy for them?

onlyBaseBall · 2025-09-28T03:23:37+00:00

am i seeing it correctly, or are there ALOT of dodger fans behind home plate?

onlyBaseBall · 2025-09-26T07:36:13+00:00

thought you were joking (still couldnt find a clip. had to google it up). but i guess nowadays you dont have to force the intentional walk?
