Even if you don't favor the hurry up offense, though, there have still been plenty of offenses that have been able to run the hurry up without issue. I would be saying this exact same thing had the Pats been one of the few teams to draw a penalty for it. The day when this negatively impacts all teams across the league, I'll call for the rule to be changed or modified. Until then, it seems like MOST teams in the NFL are adjusting just fine to it. Maybe Manning and the Colts should take a long, hard look at themselves and do what all NFL teams should be able to do on the fly: adjust.

That leaves over 10,000 Pats fans here of which over 50%, if YOU are to be believed, do not care about the new rule. That would mean well over 5000 members fit YOUR stated parameters. Name five you freakin' psychopath.

I find it funny that he couldn't understand it the first time you asked...

Did you ever stop to think that YOU are part of the problem, not Joker? You come in all high and mighty getting on Joker's case and ignore the fact that Wolfpack can't understand basic English.

People like you, who defend trolls, are part of the problem. Plain and simple. Patsfans.com hasn't changed. What's changed is people like you feeding the trolls and defending them. THAT'S what is causing the degredation of this board. People like you and some of the "mods" allowing the Trolls to have free reign.

If you did and don't understand where Joker is coming from, then you are the issue. Not Joker. BTW, I think you're full of it.. I don't think you read that thread at all..

The other thread was brought down by "freakin' psychopath" type of posts.

It's just something that comes back here. Even a tame topic like is Derrick Burgess a 4-3 DE or a 3-4 OLD turns into personal attacks. I don't get it.

The other thread was brought down by the constant condescension in Wolfpack's responses.

As for "seeing Wolfpack's side of the issue," what is it that you exactly see? It's surely not that the referee already runs back to almost the same point as the umpire is being required to run now. It's surely not any actual fact other than Manning whining about not being able to cheat anymore.. And it's certainly not that the Hurry Up offense can't be run because it can be. As has all been pointed out previously by other posters.

Wolfpack started this thread as an "I told you so" to throw in people's faces. That's what you're supporting on Patsfans??

If the tweaks discussed didn't address the QB seeing the Umpire, then, yes, that issue will remain or be dealt with by Manning and others.

My comment about other words is that I felt you were putting on Wolf that he was primarily interested in defending the Colts for the sake of defending the Colts. The "Mr. Manning" bit seemed too cutesy.

If you'd read the other thread, that is exactly the way he comes across..

When asked if another QB had the same issues, Wolfpack couldn't be bothered to provide an example.

It was nothing more than a Manning rumpswabbing.

Also, as expected, the time difference is less than 3 seconds. It's 1-1.5 seconds, if that.

And there we have it folks... Anyone who dares to suggest this new rule isn't working out as well as it should is just a "Manning ballwasher".

That's not accurate. Great response, though, it really cuts into the reality of the video I posted.

Please don't pay any attention to dabruinz' lies. When asked to provide another example, I made mention of the Saints game where they got called for the penalty twice (Ramsey) and Payton was beside himself in frustration.

I admit this new rule is not going to impact most teams because most teams don't run the hurry up offense as part of their regular scheme. I just think it's a shame that now the hurry up is illegal until the 2 minute warnings.

Ahh, tha both of yuz both were takin' personal shots and retaliating.
Since there was no smash mouth footbawl yesterday, I had ta settle for some smash mouth Pat Fan pissin' contest. Both of ya couldn't restrain yer Sunday afternoon testosterone with no games to watch.
I just sat back and watched the festivities. I mean, yesterday blew SOO badly without football, and t.v. was as bad as it gets.... pathetically enough, this here Kontra vs. Wolfpack thingie was the hottest ticket in town.

I just skimmed right past the actual football talk in those posts and was hunting down the personal shots.

The best one was right towards the end when Kontra is thinking you were already blocked from posting while the mod chose to still leave him open to post. That was some "The Mighty Kontradiction" thinkng, lemme tell ya. I LOVED that comment.
And the other good one was Kontra going,"Hold on. Don't lock it down yet. I'm just about to drop the hammer on Wolfpack over here. Gimme a few minutes more"

"Drop the hammer". Whoa! Kontra's gettin' all Greek mythological Thor-like on yer arse.

All in all, I gotta say, I DO havta score the bout to Kontra in a split decision.

"And the winner... and STILL reigning champeen.... Kontradiction! Suck ma dicktion!"

(hey, it was a non-football Sunday in late August. EVERYBODY was a little ornery yesterday. Kontra needed a release someplace after all. You were just the guy who chose to go toe-to-toe. Notice, he was around after the golf ended and before the Steelers game started. I guarantee that won't happen 2 sundays from now. lol.)
