If a team is down by, say, 9 points and score a TD with 10 second left...
...they cut the score to 2 points....
...and then get the ball back to setup a 30 yard PI call and GW field goal.
Any time a team is down two possessions and scores in the waning seconds they get a free Hail Mary?
Awesome.

That's a hilarious scenario. You're down by one with less than 2 minutes left, get pinned by a good punt and start at the five. Throw three incomplete passes. Get an intentional safety on 4th and 10 and gain 30 yards in exchange for 2 points and only 5 extra yards to go! That puts you in range for a Hail Mary if you have a strong armed QB.Ya that's a problem, as is this
The kicking team must notify the referee of its intention to forego a kickoff or safety kick for one offensive play. The referee will then notify the team that would otherwise be receiving the kickoff or safety kick.
So a team is backed up inside their own 15 and down by 1-5 points with under 2 minutes to play. They take a safety and go down 3-7 points and then elect 4th & 15 and convert and now are at midfield driving to win or tie.
So you're gonna tell me the offense gets to trade 2 points and instead of it being say 4th & 10, it's 4th & 15 to move up 20-30 yards of better field position on the 4th down?
And yes I get the it's a low percentage play and "defense should make a stop" but they just did to force them into. Seems a tad bit unfair to the opposing defense

Here's Vincent's version: "In all of our discussions, there has been a real reluctance of [giving replay authority to call penalties]. That is something that from active players, to coaches, all across from football personnel, there has been a real reluctance for." Who is reluctant and why?
I thought the McCourty block was good too, what was wrong with it?In my totally unbiased opinion, those were all great blocks except the one against McCourty.
And on another level if you polled fans how many do you think would say the NFL needs more penalties?

Owners rejected an alternative to the onside kick, voting down the Broncos’ fourth-and-15 proposal that was endorsed by the Competition Committee, Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports.
Denver’s playing proposal would have allowed a team trailing in the fourth quarter an opportunity to maintain possession of the ball after scoring. The trailing team could have opted for one chance per game to convert a fourth-and-15 play from its own 35-yard line.

Celebration penalties may be more costly in the NFL this season, after a new rule that the league passed today.
The league announced that the owners approved a rule that “Allows teams to elect to enforce on the succeeding try or on the succeeding free kick an opponent’s personal or unsportsmanlike conduct foul committed during a touchdown.”
Not a fan because as I have stated multiple times in the past the consequence would be absurd **** like this:
Have fun with people looking in slow-motion at every little contact between a WR and DB in the future.
