  1. Rule 4 Section 3

    ARTICLE 2. SCRIMMAGE DOWN
    Following any timeout (3-37), the game clock shall be started on a scrimmage down when the ball is next snapped, except in the following situations:

    Whenever a runner goes out of bounds on a play from scrimmage, the game clock is started when an official spots the ball at the inbounds spot, and the Referee gives the signal to start the game clock, except that the clock will start on the snap:

    • after a change of possession
    • after the two-minute warning of the first half
    • inside the last five minutes of the second half

     

    Edit: Formatted to read easier

     

    They changed the rules a few years back to speed up the game.

  2. I was going to start a thread on this.

     

    That was, by far, the worst call of the game.

     

    Poz was coming full speed right at woods and woods blew him up.

     

    Further, when does a penalty on a play where there is a change in possession get enforced? Block happened while bills had ball, but McCoy fumbled and recovered by Jax. So Jax gets the ball and a pre-possession penalty? That can't be right.

    It's right because of the nature of the penalty. It was a personal foul, which is always enforced. Personal fouls are considered more than a procedural penalty, so they enforce it no matter the outcome.

  3.  

    Thing is, the ref throws the flag just as the pass is released so he doesn't really know its going to be a TD. My beef is the over-officiating. The Ref "thinks" he sees a guy block low but if it's not 100% obvious why is he flagging it?

    My question from up thread still is Why is the referee watching the line?!? His responsibility is the quarterback!

  4. The worst part is that the idea of advantage / disadvantage is not used anymore by officials. In every sport, if the player committing the foul gains an advantage, call the penalty. If it has no effect, don't call it. RI did not disadvantage the player (hell he didn't even fall). Plain and simple don't make that call.

  5.  

    What's happened over the last 10 years or so is that whenever somebody accuses X group/corporation of conspiring to do Y, they are immediately grouped in with lizard people/UFOs/JFK/etc.

     

    The truth is governments/intelligence agencies/corporations and many other groups work by conspiring against the public and are actually caught all the time.

     

    They have turned "conspiracy theorist" into a slur in order to discredit ANYTHING remotely close to one. It's very dangerous propaganda and it worked.

     

    The NFL fixing games does not seem insane to me, especially when it happened in the NBA less than 10 years ago.

    I think that this reply should be the start of a new Off the Wall topic, because the first 3 paragraphs are spot on. If you are looking at this thinking conspiracy theorist, please go read about Risperdal, or !@#$ Dupont knowing what their chemicals did to the groundwater in WVa. Then think about the Supreme Court ruling allowing corporations to be essentially people.

     

    It goes on and on...

  6. Hussey was standing at least 10-12 yards behind Tyrod on that play and in the FOX feed you can see his view was shielded by the other Bills lineman. IMO, just too many 'radar' calls today by an inexperienced crew...

    If anyone is a football official, what area is the referee supposed to watch on plays?

     

    I ask because in Lacrosse, as the trailing official in 2 man or the single side official in 3 man, when an offensive player takes a shot, this official must watch the shooter (to look for late hits and protect the player).

     

    I was under the impression that the referee watched the quarterback and the other officials the line and such. That being said, why is he watching the line?

  7. Dino Bocce is the best of the Bocce's no doubt. However, Imperial Pizza on Abbott makes a run for the money here (they are very similar pies).

     

    Growing up in the area around the Bailey Bocce's, it's really hard to find another good pizza place but I thought Leonardi's pizza on Grover Cleveland/Millersport/Longmeadow/Eggert intersection was pretty damn good too.
