Ben blames the sidelines for botched fake spike

[PF_SU]

Wouldn't that lead to a potential grounding penalty with a ten-second runoff? See: Brady in Seattle in 2012.

Just fire it over the head of Rogers.

Why did they pick up the flag?

Because all they do is call things for the Pats! Oh, wait...

 

[Wheelman]

Pausing it just before the ball is out of rapistburgers hand. The O-lineman is 2 yards down the field, which is illegal. That being said, I've seen times where this was called, and not called. The rule is not consistently enforced unfortunately. It's not an easy rule to enforce either with how fast things happen. But if the ref threw the flag, it means he saw it, so they shouldn't have picked up the flag.

LMFAO! This is hilarious!

When Brady did it, there was no Patriot near the ball. You just sky it over your receiver's head.

 

[neuronet]

Kinda like when people can't delineate between being acquitted of charges and NO CHARGES being filed.

Is that a Ray Lewis joke?

What does, "clocking or clock it" mean. Many references to it today but I'm confused.

That was a ******** call.

I am. Why didn't you answer me instead of making a joke?

 

[fourhour]

Seriously, you made you second post in ten friggen years for that????

It's the QB spiking the ball to stop the clock...you lose the down but the play clock would have given them enough time to get the FG team on the field for a 4th down FG.

Always heard it called spiking. Never clocking it!

Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to answer me. I mean that seriously too!

I can see it getting missed. But how can it get missed when it was called and then wiped away?

I don't see why the fake clock or whatever was a bad play. The bad play part was that nobody knew what was happening. They had like 10 min while the TD was being reviewed to get everybody together and go over what happens if they don't score on 2nd down. They had plenty of time for a shot in the end zone. The Pats would have had that tight and everybody would have known the play as soon as the wr was taken down in bounds (a really underrated play btw to keep him from getting out of bounds).

The call to go for it was fine. The communication was terrible and the execution was even worse obviously. I'm trying to think of a worse decision to throw the ball when all he needed to do was throw it away.

Wow, great point. Reminds me of the picture of BB turning around to see what the crowd was roaring about (Brady was on fire). BB was instructing the defense. Thus, during the review, what does everyone think BB/Josh would be doing?

while the play was being reviewed - BR, Tomlin & Haley stood around watching the big screen.....instead of using it as a free time out, and getting plays set in case it was overturned......if it wasn't overturned, big deal, they just wasted 30 seconds of their life

instead they had to panic and ended up with a play that was thrown for a short gain and a tackle in bounds, and then panicked into a fake spike play that only sent one receiver over the middle into 4 defenders

total lack of preparation and actual coaching.......once again that Tomlin is nothing but a cheerleader and a reactionary......people mistake his jumping up and down and yelling as actual coaching

Got to make up new words for old plays. Makes football sound more like nuclear physics.
