I'm a Pats fan, and I've usually heard it referred to as the "Snow Bowl," not "The Tuck." Maybe "the 'Tuck Rule' game," but never "The Tuck." Samer 18:50, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
One reason not to call it the "snow bowl" is that there is another game with that title on Wikipedia. Vidor ( talk) 02:58, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
A Snow Bowl entry really should redirect to here. It's the most common name of the game that I've heard (I'm a Giants fan). You could have two Snow Bowl pages--one the redirects to here and one that is that Grey Cup game. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.28.246.186 ( talk) 01:49, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
Well, there is more than one "Snow Bowl" (hence a Disambig.); and there is only one "Tuck Rule game". Thus, the latter name is unique and definitive. KyuuA4 ( talk) 20:33, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
I think chaging the name was a bad idea. The game is remembered by most sports commentators as the Tuck Rule Game. For God sakes, the new name is too long. Please just change it back to the Tuck Rule Game. That's how it's remebered by 90% of the football watching population, that's what it should be called. So please, whoever's in charge of naming this article CHANGE THE NAME BACK TO THE TUCK RULE GAME! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Steve12992 ( talk • contribs) 16:48, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
Everyone but those in the New England area knows of this game as "The Tuck Rule Game". Even folk in the middle of the country knows it as the Tuck Rule Game. If you mention "Snow Bowl" to most fans outside of New England, they wouldn't have a clue as to what you're speaking of. But no sooner you say "Tuck Rule Game", everyone in the vicinity knows EXACTLY what game you speak of and even recalls where they were when it occurred. The only way you don't remember the Tuck Rule Game is if you weren't interested in the game, dead or unconscious. Sessou ( talk) 09:44, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Why does the article say he was attempting to pass when he was not?► Chris Nelson Holla! 23:29, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
There seems (to me )to be a contradiction in the description "... any intentional FOWARD movement of his arm starts a forward pass, " followed by the referees explanation "the ball was moving backwards when it was lost, but the tuck rule applied." this needs to be explained otherwise it appears as a contradiction. — Preceding

I added "Snow Job" as one commonly used name for the game. Unfortunately, I don't have a particular online source that verifies its usage, but Googling "tuck rule" and "snow job" shows a number of independent usages to that end, which I believe demonstrates its usage. Furthermore, a recent TV episode of NFL Films' produced "Top 10" show on NFL Network, "Top 10 Games with Names", noted the discrepancy of names for this game, noting "Snow Job" as one name of use, particularly by Raiders fans. (Perhaps it would help if I add a citation for that episode, even if it's not available on the Internet?) For the record, I'm not partial to the Raiders, and don't call the game "Snow job" myself. I just recognize its usage. WallyCuddeford ( talk) 03:35, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
Also, it should be noted, I don't believe "Snow Bowl" is an accurate name for the game, despite its having been used in the two cited sources. One of the sources cites Patriots coach Bill Belichick asking kicker Adam Vinatieri whether he thought his kick in "the Snow Bowl" was his most important. I don't believe shorthand between a coach and player qualifies a name as being in such general use for encyclopedic purposes. Furthermore, the capitalization of the term appears to have been at the whim of the article's author. (In other words, it's ambiguous whether Belichick was asking Vinatieri about his kick in "The Snow Bowl" by name or "the snow bowl" in a lowercase, generalized sense. The distinction was apparently made by the author.) The other source puts "Snow Bowl" in quotes, as if to acknowledge the non-officiality of the name. No use of "Snow Bowl" for this game seems to be independent of qualifying text explaining which "Snow Bowl" is being referenced, in part because it seems any big game in snow gets called "Snow Bowl" (thus further establishing its irrelevance to this game in particular). On the other hand, usage of "Snow Job" makes no attempt to explain the particular circumstances. However, I left the name for now, unless others here also think it superfluous.

The result of the move request was: Moved; this is a proper name (denominating a single specific event), not a common name for a type or class of games. R'n'B ( call me Russ) 17:06, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

Why is the reversal of the call by Walt Coleman referred to as "quickly" reversed the call? Its my understanding that it is the longest reviewed play in the history of the NFL. I think it was 12 minutes he spent reviewing the play.

A certain senior member thinks that everyone knows what is snow. This is ridiculous. Snow is unique to certain places and quite uncommon in some locales, and a surprise in places like Los Angeles and Las Vegas where it infrequently falls. Vast parts of the planet are unfamiliar with snow, and snow was an integral part of this game. It deserves to be linked so that necessary context can be conveyed. 47.137.183.192 ( talk) 09:32, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
