Last time I checked a "drop kick" is still allowed in the NFL. The OP is suggesting just that.

I Don't Feel Like Playing Today
BringBackFergy replied to Gugny's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Sammy's injury and placement on IR was attributable to pain tolerance (it was confirmed that he couldn't do any more damage to the foot). So he was unable to cope with the pain. The OP may have a point (unlike Rothlisburger who has a torn meniscus, Hoyer with broken arm, etc. more serious injuries). Dareus is...well, he's Dareus. He can't play because he needs to get himself back into game shape (did you seriously expect him to workout over those 4 weeks?) I think Shady is taking it easy...he had himself a career game (3 TD's)...he's relaxing the legs for the week. -
Zzzzzzzzzzzz

I'd be pissed if I were Marcell Dareus' teammate
BringBackFergy replied to Estro's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I've said this before (and no, I'm not implying Worthy is a better player than Dareus) but let's hope when Puff Daddy comes back the chemistry on this team isn't all !@#$ed up...because it looks to me like these "no names" are having fun (and getting the job done). -
Shady injures hamstring in practice
BringBackFergy replied to bobobonators's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Guys. I have a friend who makes $3,435/wk working at home on hamstrings. It''s a proprietary method. Email me for more details. -

Bills Key Loss: Nickell Robey Coleman. The kid is a "deranged squirrel". (Can't use rhino because that was "Snacks") -

I don't root for injuries...but yes, I hope Pittsburgh plays a "physical" game -

Ugh. Let them pound their chests...arrogant pricks. Slow and steady wins the race. I'm calling it here...Steelers will give the Patriots fits this weekend. -
True

Agreed...which makes that Jets game even more painful in Week 2.

In order to review whether there is a turnover, you have to apply "ALL" NFL rules. As such, the replay official would make the following analysis: 1) Was there a turnover (on downs)? Yes 2) Was it a fumble? No 3) Was it an interception? No 4) What the hell was it? A WR had his right arm put in an arm bar by the CB. 5) Is an arm bar legal while covering a WR? No 6) Did the ref throw a flag for the arm bar? No 7) Why the hell didn't the ref throw a flag for the arm bar? Because he was scared Richard Sherman might jump up and down and B word about how unfair the NFL rules are. 8) Well, screw Richard Sherman, the pass fell incomplete because of an illegal arm bar. Therefore, there is no turnover on downs. Replay 4th down.

I suppose that's my argument. The NFL allows replays on turnovers...this was a turnover (on downs) because they failed to make a first down. Review it (and then let the NFL look like a bunch of !@#$s because even after the review they would still say "It was an incomplete pass"). And I agree with Jimmy10 above (and referenced it in my OP)...we will be looking at this kind of gamesmanship when we play the SeaHags. Keep interfering with the WR's because they won't call PI on every play. Let's just hope it goes both ways. I suppose if Richard Sherman can B word, yell and moan enough about the NFL, they will give him breaks.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxrNZYJnJsE It was 4th and long. The Falcons needed to get a first down to keep the final drive alive and get within field goal range. Ryan drops back and throws this ball to Julio Jones. Richard Sherman clearly interferes (I have seen much less get called for PI). This "no call" is an abomination or might just be the way refs look at the "Legion of Boom"...give them the benefit of the doubt because they are "physical". Anyway, I was thinking how helpless a coach must be when the refs don't call a penalty like this because "no calls" are not reviewable. However, I went a step further and thought about what IS reviewable: Touchdowns Sideline plays A "catch" Turnovers Isn't a failed 4th and 18 really a "turnover" on downs? If that's the case, that play should have been reviewable because it was a turnover. I would have demanded a review by the NFL right then and there to review the pass because it was a turnover on 4th and long resulting in turnover to the SeaHags. Then let the NFL official in the booth review the obvious interference and come back with a ruling that they should replay 4th down because Julio Jones was basically raped and there can be no turnover when a receivers arms are taken away from him. Falcons ball!!
