NEW RULE is lame

By the way, on Gost's game tying kick, the Jets were pushing in the back. Even more obviously than the one on Jones.

That would be F'd up. I'd like to see that Gif myself. So much for refs "overlooking" tic tacky calls in crucial situations.

just a point of fact guys . . .

just watched SNF's take on the matter and they said that there have been over
400 FG attempts this year and that was the first time it was called . . .

what it said in Mike P. article, it was claimed this was a wide spread problem they were trying to get rid of, fair enough, I understand it and do accept the technical correctness of the call given it was a long FG attempt with anticipated lower angle . . .

But Jesus, Mary and Joseph, this is the first time in over 400 attempts that the defense has done this . . . sorry don't believe it . . . and they decide this time to pull out the yellow hankie . . .

This rule was explained at the begninning of the season. Here is an article explaining it on NFL.com. New NFL rules: Overloading line restriction will protect linemen - NFL.com

Now some are saying that it doesn't matter if its second level players. I think the NFL needs to get their **** in order if they are going to be calling this stuff to decide games.

A-holes.

3:03ish the FG try is.

Watch the 2 Jets on the left (as we see it) of Aiken, directly on his shoulder.

I don't know I think we need a better view to see if they are actually "pushing"

I guess the rule does not apply to the Jets.LOL Lets see Pereira BS his way about that non call

Yeah, that's the only place I can see where there could potentially be a push but then it doesn't look certain.

A better place to check would probably be other teams FG/PAT attempts.

Bet we see it called a lot more often now. Of course, any call would be "more often" but you get my point.

Maybe it wasn;t? (missed)

The NFL is in full revisionist mode, feverishly rewriting history.

Unfortunately for them they can't do what they did after the 1976 playoff game, just black out all film of the game till Wednesday.

How many other field goal attempts this year had that call -PUSHING-made?

I think that ref is a "friend" of the NYJets

Did you see him confront BB?

He looks like the squarehead meatball -BB should have ended his career right then by smacking the crooked penguin with a helmet.

smack

I also hope the broncos lose tonight (not that I like indy)
congrats to buffalo 2 for knocking MIA down a notch

think ill sleep until the next game....how depressing to see NYJets and fat rex fist pumping...what a robbery

The Jets owner paid a lot of money for that rigged victory!

Hilarious. Guess the ref just happened to remember the rule a few minutes later.

It was a rigged game...

Please tell me you're joking. Please tell me no one that stupid could be a Patriots fan because it makes us all look bad. Please tell me you're joking.

Ok, tinfoil brigade -- if you're so sure the NFL is engaging in some ridiculous conspiracy to hide the truth, head out to Amazon and buy the hard copy of the 2013 rule book, look up the rule, and tell us whether or not the wording you claim the NFL is trying to airbrush out of existence is in it or not.

The ONLY ONLY positive thing to take from this is the chip on our shoulder it will give us, and the challenge to deal with adversity.

I already showed 2 articles - written in August - with the correct version of the rule. The writer of that NFL.com article messed up. No big deal and no conspiracy.

It's not a claim. It's a fact.

Do you know for sure what rule BB was presented with this summer? We've caught several inconsistencies.

1. BB seems to think the rule only applied to the second level. Since the rule is new, I'm going to say BB didn't imagine it.

2. The refs confuse what type of penalty this is. They keep saying unsportsmanlike. But the rule you're citing says roughing. Seems inconsistent.

3. The refs were not calling this penalty and had to be alerted to it this week. Now, do you know why? Maybe they too thought it was second level. Maybe that's what they expained on their tour with BB his summer. The fact is, the league sends memos that override the rulebook, as BB learned during spygate.

No one knows why all this happen, but I think the nfl.com's own website is telling, as is their attempt to scrub the wording away, as is BB's specificity (I find that most convincing actually). BB doesn't make things up.

the rule book says what it says.

The league also wrote a layman's terms explanation of the new rule on Sept 3 and posted it at nfl.com

After the game today, that article was changed. The screenshot shown earlier in the thread proves this. So they removed previously-written information from nfl.com that was consistent with BB's interpretation.

Like I said before, the original NFL article (and BB's interpretation) was based on how the rule was proposed but not how it was ultimately passed.

Someone screwed up. Maybe some referee explained it the wrong way in their August meetings with the teams. But like I said, I've already posted 2 articles from August with the new and correct interpretation of the rule. The NFL isn't engaged in any conspiracy, it was just a colossal ****-up.
