But now Donovan McNabb will really be confused ...
Seriously though, I'm getting old so I may just not remember ... Did the playoff version come into play yet? If not, why would the league adopt a rule change that has never been shown to help anything? Also ... Trying out new rules in the playoffs was a backwards way of doing it anyway. Put your practice rules in preseason like they did with the position of the umpire. You could even ask a couple of teams to artificially tie in preseason to see how it works out.

I always said Joe Namath speaks the truth. Very honest guy. He wouldn't lie. If he said the Jets suck they suck.
Unless he's drunk on live TV ....

Minor detail ... We haven't had Mario here 3 days. It has been less than 48 hours since free agency started. The media seems to focus on the 3 day total to make it sound like it was more desparate or sensationalistic.

He thought today was stick and bj day.
Can't expect anything more from Milbury ... When he was a player he beat a fan with his own shoe during a game ... He should been banned from all hockey involvement for life on that day

I got one for $15 when they were on clearance at Dick's about a month ago.
I stopped in got four since they were so cheap

The hit on Ivory that caused the fumble should have been a PF and 1st and goal at the 1 for the Saints. Expect him to get a fine this week.

This entire thread is devoted to the call… thus the topic title. So no, I'm not harping on anything. I'm discussing it with people who disagree with me.
As for your question, one distinction (and now I'm repeating myself) is that there are grey areas with most calls but if you look at the rule and you look at the photo, this was not in a grey area. It was a missed call that should have been called.
As for Aiello's statement, I don't know. You'd have to ask him.
But if you read the rule posted upthread and look at the photo linked upthread, it was clearly an illegal formation.
edit: And to repeat myself again, with a Head Linesman and a Line Judge standing on the line of scrimmage on every play, an obvious violation like this shouldn't be overlooked. It's not like holding or that sort of penalty… it's more along the lines of Too Many Men on the Field.
Except that too many men on the field is one of the very few reviewable penalties ...

It eyeballs that Rosario's front hand/helmet are about 1.5 yards behind the line of scrimmage.
I'm gonna look up the rule.
Section 18 Line of Scrimmage
Article 1 The Line of Scrimmage is the yard line (plane) passing through the forward point of the ball after it has been made ready for play. The term scrimmage line, or line, implies a play from scrimmage.
Article 2 A Player of Team A is on his line:
(a) when his shoulders face Team B's goal line, and
(b) if he is the snapper, no part of his body is beyond the line at the snap,
© if he is a non-snapper, his helmet must break the vertical plane that passes through the beltline of the snapper.
Note: Interlocking legs are permissible.
10Rule 3, Section 18, Article 3
A.R. 3.8 Offensive A1 assumes a three-point stance with his shoulders facing defensive B's goal line. One hand is on the ground and it is on or not more than one foot behind his line. Neither of his feet nor the other hand is within one foot of his line. Ruling: A1 is legally on his line.

So Rosario is clearly not on the line of scrimmage and a penalty should have been called.
By strict interpretation, the LT is not on the line either ... That wouldn't ever get called

I still think that Maybin 'Gary Anderson-ed' the Bills ... Gary just accomplished his feat much faster ...

I've never seen any iron sharpeners. Usually it's a stone of some sort.
I have several files in my workshop that are made of metal (now an alloy of some sort, but used to be made of iron before alloys were discovered) that are designed to shave other metals (including iron).
Also ... That phrase shouldn't be attributed to Tebow ... It's Proverbs 27:17

Tashard Choice claimed off waivers to replace FredEx

I've been actively calling for him to be cut since last week when he tried his trick on the kickoff, trying to step out of bounds to draw the penalty. Not only did he fail at that (a very simple task) he also lost us a challenge and a timeout by lobbying Gailey to throw the challenge flag. FJ ran the wildcat better than Smith last year...and actually has completed a TD pass out of the formation.
Smith should simply be cut as an example.
-
Everyone else was covered if you look at the replay, Simms said as much during the broadcast. Jones was the closest one to being open.
Not true, the slot receiver on the same side as Jones had a DB playing about 7 yards off. A quick throw nets a first down if he catches it

Matthew 6:6
"But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."
Jesus condemned the Pharisees for their public displays of religiosity.
The condemnation that Jesus had for the Pharisees was much deeper than the fact that they prayed in public. Public prayer was not the issue. It had to do with the fact that the Pharisees primarily practiced their religion when others were watching as a show (what some accuse the athletes of doing). If Jesus was against public displays of faith ... He would have done things very differently Himself. Most of His miracles are recorded as happening in a public setting. There are also recorded prayers of Jesus that were definitely public expressions.

Well you know what they say...it only takes one to give everyone a bad rep.
PTR
That may be what 'they' say, but it's a real stretch for someone as informed and intelligent as you (and I really mean that) to rely on a simple platitude as a basis for a debate. Every group has that one person (or subgroup) that makes the rest look bad. To group Tebow in with someone like the guy you referred to has nothing to do with his lack of ability to play football, nor any of the issues with which he has used his faith to stand up for. That's poor extrapolation.
-
Really now? I'm betting if a fraction of the 500M+ people think like this guy, I'm not that far off.
PTR
Well ... There's a safe statement to make ... If only one more person thinks like that, you have a fraction ... Way to pull an obscure story that only supports YOUR side.
-
How would you feel if a player of another faith made public displays during games? I have a hunch most Christians would find it offensive.
PTR
Actually, I wouldn't have a problem with it ... Why should I? So that your argument is supported? In our great country, the best I can hope for is the ability to practice my beliefs without restriction as long as it doesn't infringe on the personal rights of those around me. I would welcome that from any other religious person as well. You might want to put that fairly wide brush away ... BTW I am conservative (theologically), progressive (socially) and conservative (fiscally) ... And evangelical (that's a small 'e', not capital).
-
I think all praying on the field of play is a huge look at me moment. Everybody can believe what they want, just keep it to yourself.
The problem with your view is that to properly believe in Jesus for salvation (which you seem to 'give permission' to others to do) ... It includes not keeping one's faith to one's self. Someone has to risk stepping on the cultural toes of others ... As a believer, I'm happy to assume that risk.

maul the mammal would work better.
the dude has a killer deep ball, he has a WR who can catch them.
not a bad move on his part.
though i did smile when i heard the news.
That is, if Marshall doesn't just run out of bounds after the catch for no apparent reason ...
-
He has sure hands and defenses have to respect his speed, that is why he was so open on those curls or comeback routes. He is a dangerous player.
BTW, I'm still waiting for Spiller to run that end around and scoring a long TD.
Spiller would line up wide to the right on a 3WR set, he would motion back inside and while Fitz hands the ball to Freddy he fakes the end around. We ran it twice and on both plays the defense keyed strictly on Freddy. I was hoping Chan could run the play one more time giving the ball to Spiller, I'm sure he would have scored.
Watch the first time we ran the fake end around after Jackson's long TD run ... I would wager that Spiller would have taken it untouched the whole way if they faked it to Jackson and gave it to CJ ... it was wide open.

I don't want any Bills in the pro bowl ... They would hate to be selected to play when they'll have to miss it in prep for the Super Bowl ...
-
I believe that blocks in the back are legal within a certain distance of the line of scrimmage ... At least two of those blocks in the back occurred at the line. No excuse for missing the ones downfield though. Also there was a screen where their lineman were downfield engaged & blocking before the pass was thrown ...is that legal if the pass is caught behind the line? I'm not sure.
-
I just thought that I'd throw this out there since so many are always talking about ratings and rankings. Basically it's a rating based on the quality of games that you have played not a reflection of who you might beat ... Very statistics driven, but nice to see the Bills getting some respect there. Hopefully it increases after today.
