Depends on the time left on the clock. Outside of 1 minute all they could do is official times it and reset play clock to 25 instead of 40. Within one minute they get some more options. Within one minute to play the NFL rule book states that a foul by either team that prevents the snap can be penalized by 5 yards for delay of game and the offended team would get the option to start the clock on the snap, rather than the ready.

Which is why I tend to agree with the article that said Belichick wanted it to be exposed. No reason he uses that maneuver when he’s up by 33 points if he wanted anything but to bring attention to it.

It’s actually not a wide open loophole. Officials have discretion to stop the clock if it’s obvious a team is killing time like that. If it continued or happens again I’m sure they will simply not allow the clock to run.

Sanu has 1 TD in his past 17 games. If the Bills had given a 2nd for him I would not have been a happy camper. Would much rather go the rest of the year without Sanu at WR and draft a WR who has a very decent chance of being as good as Sanu is right now. This also tells me to stay far away from AJ Green. If Sanu got a 2nd what would they want for Green? 3 1sts?

Darnold just stared down Anderson the entire time and then still made a horrendous throw.

Bury him into the turf. Put him underneath the stadium.

Tom is the best at grounding the ball and getting away with it

Hochuli’s son is just as big of a tool bag as his dad.

If there was ever a week for Allen to hit on a deep ball to John Brown, this is it.

This is what I’m expecting too. Jets coming off a good win and completely healthy for the first time since week 1. They definitely have a chance tonight. I’ll be watching, it should be a good one.

One of biggest complaints about McDermott so far, is the lack of killer instinct. Is it play calling by Daboll? Is it execution? Who knows, but the foot seems to frequently come off the gas. Last year they had the chance against the Vikings, only to score 0 second half points. I seem to remember the play calling going ultra conservative in the second half. Perhaps they learned from that, because they dropped 41 on the Jets and 40-ish on the Dolphins to close out the year. And, again, it could be Daboll or execution as well. But something that concerns me and my very little football knowledge.

Fourth quarter so far is exactly how the game should have been the entire time.

Duke oh no

NO words for this ***** show

Shouldn’t need to rely on fluky turnover or sack to help you. But that’s the situation they are in.

0-5*

An 0-5 team is basically imposing their will. That’s pure embarrassment.

What an embarrassment

If the Dolphins lose by 16 today they have the worst point differential since it started being tracked. This isn’t an “any given Sunday” team. This is a preseason caliber team that’s also missing their starting center and starting corner. This is not a talented football team. And this is absurd.

Good teams don’t struggle against one of the worst NFL teams ever. It’s that simple. Need to lock it down on D and start scoring TD’s to remain in that conversation.

I guess it’s possible. But it’s extremely far fetched. This is the worst NFL team I’ve ever personally seen. The Bills came back to beat a Jets team that is 100x better, and that is with 4 turnovers. They would pretty much need to turn the ball over ten times in this game to lose or even struggle.

I honestly didn’t know who this was before reading this thread.

Did you watch the game? It was much more attributable to the Broncos offense than the Chiefs defense. The Broncos offense that showed up last night could have made the Dolphins defense look like a top 5 unit in the NFL. Flacco was disinterested from the 1st quarter, his line might as well have not shown up to the stadium, the RB’s couldn’t do anything, receivers dropped balls. It was one of the worst offensive performances I have seen. Someone likened it to an AAF game and I tend to agree. Unless the Chiefs defense suddenly morphed into the best defense the league has seen in multiple seasons. Freak injury combined with a Dumb call given Mahomes banged up ankle. You just shouldn’t risk that when your QB hasn’t been given adequate time to heal from an existing injury.

I agree, which is why I very much question these “he won’t miss much time” reports from Rappaport. But we will see. Stranger things have happened.

This thread is aging well...
