Peyton "rule change" Manning at it again

Rule changes..........like the penalty for hitting a QB low, mysteriously being implemented after Brady got hurt??????
How could this possibly be considered a rule to help Brady? Its a rule to prevent injuries to QBs after Brady sustained one. It doesn't help Brady any more or less than any other QB in the NFL.

Brushing the dust of the rule book to find the tuck rule...............
I guess you just came here to troll. The fact that ignorant fans didn't know it was in the rule book makes it no less of a rule. It was called many times that season, including being called on a Testaverde tuck/fumble against the Patriots.
 
What is commonly called the "Brady rule"--that you can't dive at a QB's knees--is actually the Palmer Rule. The "Brady Rule" is a small extension of that rule that is almost never called, and it states that you can't lunge from the ground at a QB's knees.

The tuck rule was called many times before the 2001 playoff game, and has been called since. Willful ignorance is the only possible way that anyone could figure that that's a "Brady rule"

Willful ignorance huh lol? I don't recall anyone saying the Tuck Rule is the Brady rule, I recall saying the Tuck Rule called for Brady is the most notorius situation of the play being called. Are you making things up?

The so called Brady Rule is often the extention of the Palmer Rule. Palmer had someone pushed into his knee. Brady had someone dive at his knee. And you seem to repeatedly indirectly agree that rule was altered because of Brady. We already established the rule began with Palmer, but I'm saying your calling Manning a rule changer, but it's fact a rule changed because of Brady. No one is name calling or saying shame on the Patriots.
 
Andy, he's just learning the game
He also does not know about Polian's 2004 rule emphasis on contact with the receiver after 5 yards that was a result of the Pats crushing Peyton in the 2003 playoffs.

He also doesn't know about the Pats giving the Great One the ball 1st in OT

The rule didn't change because of Tom Brady, it changed because of Bernard Pollard,

I am no troll, but some of you fans are very sensitive/ defensive. All I was saying is ease up on the usual Manning hate. I don't think anyone other fanbase discusses him more than here. Ignorant fans? But where in the post did I say the tuck rule was made up just for the Pats. I said they brushed the dirt off of it, meaning it wasn't often called and if you mention the tuck rule to any fanbase but the Pats, the 1st thing mentioned will be Pats vs Raiders.

I don't know of any rule called the Manning Rule, but if you mention the Brady Rule, people will usually refer to the flag for hitting a QB low. I'm not making that up or saying the Pats payed off the officials, I'm just saying how can label Manning a rule changer with no Manning Rule, when Brady has a rule changed in his name.

The Broncos were notorious for cutblocking years ago. It wasn't always called, but I can admit my franchise got away with it. Our starting DE, Derek Wolfe has suffered 2 injuries in the past year from being cut blocked. I wont argue or throw a fit over our players getting cut blocked when we were once known for it. That was only point, not to throw stones living in a glass house.
 
I think it's hemorrhagic fever, where you bleed out from the inside through your pores before you die in agony that your thinking about, CT...in any event, any life threatening disease is a horror.

Ebola is a hemorrhagic fever.

In any case, the thing I'm referring to is, if not fatal, just as disturbing. [If you really, really want to know what it is I'm talking about, PM me. It's of the NSFL (Not Safe for Life) variety, so there's no way I'm going to post a link here about it.]

The worst I would wish on him is that he marries a tranny before checking out the goods.I'd pay for a seat in THAT divorce court.

Pass me the popcorn.

I've never heard someone call the PI rules from 2004 the Manning Rules
Why would they? He makes really cool commercials. But it's a fact that those changes were spearheaded by Polian at the behest of Manning after the golden boy got his **** pushed in during the 2003 AFCCG. So they are effectively the "Manning Rules".
 
I hope he gets ebola.

And this is why many people have issues with Patriot fans. Ebola? Really??? Everyone's cool with this? I know every fan base has a couple radicals, but I must say it shows up a little more frequent here when it comes to Manning.

A lot of people don't agree with what he said. That said, I think that he was just joking and going for shock laughs. I like fart, diarrhea, and **** jokes better but that's because my mind is often in the gutter.

Based on the game that was played, sure. If it happened at the start of the season, not so much. Regardless, the rule was and has been applied since. Matter of fact it doesn't even exist anymore IIRC.

Then you are ignorant, because the tuck rule was a true rule that was called whenever it was appropriate. Saying they dusted off the rule is implying it was applied discriminately to favor the Patriots and in the context of your comments that is surely what you were implying, and that is definitely trolling.

This is non-sense.

What does any of that have to do with you misrepresenting that the Tuck call was suspicious or that a change in a rule that resulted from Bernard Pollard hitting Tom Brady is specifically beneficial to Brady?
You can kid yourself and pretend that the emphasis on allowing WRs to run free, first championed by Colt management control of the Competition Committee, and now in response to his spanking in the SB is about something else, but we all know better.

You seriously need to lighten up.
 
I don't know what a better option is - a full period of play or the college volley rules would probably be too demanding on players, considering TNF and how long the season is already, etc. But this coin toss crap is definitely ludicrous.

I agree. I'm not sure why it's so taboo, but what would be wrong with ending after regulation and having a tie?

It was such an over the top statement that it was an obvious joke. I knew before hitting "post reply" that it wouldn't stop the White Knights from coming out to condemn it as if it's serious, and start babbling on about how horrible a statement it is.

That really isn't the risk of such a comment. It's so predictably nauseating that it's more like the reward.

Every fan base in the NFL, including your own, has spent the last decade huddled around their PC monitors praying for a Tom Brady injury, so forgive me if I don't care.

The castration of defenses really went into overdrive with the 2004 rule changes after the Patriots kept putting a beat down on the NFL darling Colts. Coincidentally, after the Seahawks gave you an embarrassing beat down, the NFL comes in and strikes again to rid the golden boy of more defensive obstacles that prevented him from getting a ring.

The royal nature of your #1 Colts draft pick, and his royal family, has basically destroyed the game of football, but you keep whining about "Brady rules" because people aren't allowed to lunge at someone's knee caps while on the ground. Oh, the humanity, what will defenses ever do without being able to intentionally try to injure someone after basically being neutralized on the ground for the play?

Tom Brady won Superbowls with defenders coming over the middle, and defenders able to launch themselves at defenseless receivers. He won football championships.

Too bad your golden boy won't be able to duplicate that until we're left watching flag football.

But hey... you'll get to brag on the internet about how great your team is, so it's all worth it right? I mean, after all, afterwards we can just blame Brady

Honestly, if you think those on this board go overboard on crudeness, you need to expand your horizons. Try the Jets boards for starters, i e. Gang Green. If I were to use a TV western analogy, this board is the Roy Rogers Show and GG is Deadwood. Ian and the mods keep a pretty tight rein on things around here.
 
Maybe you've never heard of "Manning rules" because the NFL media treats him like their Master.
Contrary to public opinion, Tom Brady, our lowly 6th round draft pick, doesn't come from `football royalty`, and is basically despised by media personalities that WEREN'T EX-FOOTBALL PLAYERS.

Every week on NFL.com it's front page articles about how bad Brady is, about how Brady is no longer elite, about how fantasy football people should bench him.

In the week #3 NFL power rankings, they make excuses for Peyton's loss and whine about OT rules. They do all sorts of damage control for Aaron Rodgers and talk about how awful his offensive line is, then with the Patriots they just simply say "Tom is playing horribly," when the reality is his offensive line is the worst we have ever seen in New England, and he's getting smashed by pass rushers 2 seconds after the ball is snapped. NO MENTION OF THAT THOUGH. Just "Tom sucks."

Ya, you don't hear about "Manning rules." I don't hear about the Denver Broncos paying players under the table in a blatant CHEATING of the salary cap rules in order to win its two franchise Superbowls either and unfairly help Elway not have to retire in the same boat as Marino.

I hear about Belichick's secret mind reading helmets that helped us to rock, scissor and paper our way to three championships with Crygate about 5 times a week though.

"I've never heard of any Manning rule."

I've never heard North Korean media talk about how much their dictator sucks, either.
What a shocker.

I do realize this comment was said jokingly, but it adds to the common Peyton hate here. I understand the rivalry, but I don't even think Charger or Raider fans (who hate us the most) post as much as you guys about Peyton. I've even seen die-hard Patriot fans here say the Manning hate is too much. I'm a Bronco's fan and hear much worst from Raider fans, I was just saying wishing Ebola because he was bummed out he didn't get the ball in OT is a bit much. He just pulled off a very unlikely scoring drive to force overtime, but never saw the ball again. I'd be pretty disappointed too. I still don't recall him saying change the rule or we would've won if the rule allowed us the ball, he just said there's a premium on the coin toss.
