That's exactly right (almost). Not that the NFL would support betting...zippo59 said:It's sad but I think the injury report was established primarily for the betters.

NEM said:What I would like to see is the NFL to adopt a rule that is used in the Arena League.
Ihate it when a QB puts his knee down at the end of the first half and at the end of the fourth quarter, like sometimes three plays in a row.
That is NOT football.
The Arena league makes it mandatory that the team with the ball gain POSITIVE yardage or the clock stops.
If their QB puts his knee down to stop the clock, and does not gain POSITIVE yardage from the line of scrimmage, the clock stops and doesnt start till the ball is snapped on the next play.
The NFL should adopt it.
They could add a variation though.... If it is in the last 45 seconds, and the team with the ball is ahead by more than 8 points, then the clock could keep running.

zippo59 said:The NFL has made it very clear that preventing injuries to the players is ver high on its priority list through the various and abundant late hits and unnecessary roughness rules. I don't see them changing a rule that would increase the chance of a players getting injured in a somewhat unnecesary situation.

I do remember that, he made a good block too. And i still dont get it.desi-patsfan said:i cant think of it right now, but does anyone remember last year Brady got flagged for some sort of illegal block on a reverse?
PonyExpress said:My vote goes to when they increased the play clock from 30 to 45 seconds in 1988. The games became longer, at times tedious, and more specialized, with all the fat bodies running in and out gasping for air after each play.
onegameatatime said:In addition to some I have seen, I do not like the way the ball just needs to break the plane and you can hand the ball across the line. You should have to put the ball down with pressure (like rugby) or have both feet in the end zone.
Because they spot the ball the last place it touches the ground.Chevy said:On a missed field goal, the opposing team takes posession at the spot of the kick ... why?
