Use of bean bag

The next time to see the ref toss a 10-yarder on a QB muff of a snap, you can at least sit back and say "he has no clue".

I disagree. Officials who throw a beanbag when a kick is muffed or when a pass is intercepted at the 50 yardline have no clue. Our associations, state and local, want to see a beanbag on the ground anytime there's a fumble. I've cited just a few of the reasons. What happens on that occasion when the beanbag isn't dropped, the fumble actually was beyond the LOS and suddenly a yellow flag takes flight?

To each his own.
