  1. What I find most interesting is the rule allows the clock to run through that 5 minutes left mark in the 2nd half. Last night the Chiefs had a player go OOB at ~5:05 left in the 4th. The officials spotted the ball and the clock ran down until ~4:45, when the Chiefs snapped the ball.

     

     

     

    I dont believe that your second statement is true. If the yardage is given for forward progression, then the clock wouldn't stop. If they run out of bounds backwards, then that is the players intention, and the ball is spotted where he goes OOB. If he catches a ball and is tackled backwards OOB, the clock would not stop because the player did not intend (make a football move) to do so.

     

    Bolded statement is also untrue, there is no reason in that situation for the clock to restart. The player intended to go backwards OOB, clock is stopped until next snap.

    The backwards movement OOB is a college rule. In the NFL if the player goes OOB under his own power, the clock is to stop at that given point. Hence the big stink made when the clock was still running when the zebras erroneously kept it running and refused the Bills a final play.

  2. Short sighted? Who is going to pay for the helmets for youth sports @ 1500 each which will probably be stolen very fast?

     

    I agree with you cost-wise, however the theft concept I find, in my coaching experiences across multiple sports, wrong. Kids will keep jerseys and balls before they keep padding and helmets or other equipment, especially under threat of charging them to pay for replacement. The kid's parents will not want $1500 billed to them.

  3. I watched the game with my buddy who is a diehard Bengals fan. My heart went out to him when Cincy fumbled that last time. I knew what was coming.

     

    Both teams played very dirty and it was not a game where sportsman like conduct was regularly displayed.

     

    I agree Lewis has to go at this point. The steelers were just as out of control, however Tomlin gets a pass because they won and he has a ring.

    I agree 100%. Both coaches are culpable for their teams' antics

     

    Yes ^^^^. Just call the penalty consistently, should NOT be a problem. Why have video review and not use it. NCAA does it all the time.

    Penalties should be reviewable, including all suspected targeting/spearing penalties, but reviews need to be streamlined by NFL central instead of head officiating making the decision on the sideline, wasting ever so much time. Between commercial breaks and challenges, there is an extra 90 minutes of time added on to the game that is unnecessary.

     

    Am I the only person that thinks you don't throw a flag there at all?

     

    It was a joke. Complete joke. They won the game for Pitt. Plain and simple.

    They should have been offsetting so Punk-man and Porter both got flagged and not given the chip-shot field goal to Steelers.

     

    That's an easy one

     

    the game is played really fast

    22 players to keep an eye on

    preconceptions

    rule book that is too ambiguous

    rule book that is too big

    officials who don't know the rules

    .

    .

    .

    What other major professional league has officiating that is part-time, like the No Fun League?

     

    It must also be said that Shazier hit was with the crown of the helmet, regardless of defenseless receiver, it should have been a penalty and Bungles ball there too. They should have assigned a different head official for this game as opposed to the same guy as the regular season meeting too. Also, lost in this shuffle is the Mike Munchak penalty for grabbing Reggie Nelson by the arm (and apparently his dreadlocks in the process), and whipping him.

  4. He's a coach. Coaches often go on the field when a player is injured. He got bumped from behind and I'm pretty sure he (and the refs) heard some things that should not have been said. Cincy deserved this loss like no team I can think of.

    He should not be in the other team's huddle. That should have been a 2nd personal foul against a Steelers coach in that game

    Notably absent: any US statement.

     

    This Saudi-Iran tiff is escalating awfully quickly. In no small part because, after this administration's laisseiz-faire approach to foreign policy and craven desire to not have the Iran deal look like a failure, the Saudis have absolutely no faith that the US will back them in a showdown or effectively exercise any diplomacy with the Iranians.

     

    Good foreign policy.

    The Saudi-Iran tiff was an inevitability of two dominant powers of the area with differing beliefs (Shia v Sunni). With the battle in Yemen being a divisive war between those nations, that is the powder keg that will ignite the Middle East next after ISIS !@#$s off and goes away.

     

    Frankly, we need to let the regional powers figure crap out for themselves instead of us propping up one side or the other, while they bad talk us to their people.

    Schmidt is a top notch talent at punter but they GOTTA get a different holder.

     

    He really struggled with holds this year.

     

    He didn't drop any kick holds but every hold was a struggle.

     

    He simply couldn't catch, drop and spin like an NFL holder..........it seemed like half of his holds end up laces out.

     

    He had one of Carps misses in KC tipped on a 70 degree angle.

     

    I'm not excusing Carp because he's been sh*t even on extra points but I think the holds have been bad and as flaky as kickers can be you need proper execution in front of them.

     

    I don't know if EJ has ham hands or what but I was surprised to see the awkward handling all season.

     

    Long snapping on punts was off this year too.

     

    Saw maybe 4-5 of them go far too wide to Schmidts right.

     

    One of them Schmidt did drop in the game in NJ.

    I was saying that Sanborn has not been that good all year at work and having people thinking I was crazy for saying it. The speed was there more often than not, but the accuracy was a bit off. I expect the Bills to bring in someone to compete with him.

  7. Back to the thread..................................

     

     

     

    TWO CNNS IN ONE!

     

     

    Face it, Oregon building takeover is terrorism.

     

    —CNN, today

     

    .

    Think Occupy Wall St. is a phase? You don’t get it.

    —CNN, October 5, 2011.

     

     

     

    As John Podhoretz tweeted yesterday, “So it’s OK to occupy a park near Wall Street but not an empty office building in the middle of Oregon? I’m against both. How about you?”

     

    Adding, “Admit it. You like people who have your politics and you make allowances, and you want people whose politics you hate to be arrested.”

     

     

    This is CNN.

    This is a flawed comparison as the Occupiers were not armed to the teeth, willing to die. If you are going down that road, you could compare them to the anti-war protesters during the Vietnam era as well or black people during civil rights moment and still be just as flawed.

  8.  

    This is incorrect,

     

    the reponses in Ferguson and Baltimore were quite organized.

    If you call people on Twitter calling for houses of white people to be burned down, and instead people burning down and looting their own neighborhoods, organized, then maybe. However, I disagree with the organizational structure and direct plans than a terrorist attack typically has applying to said situation

  9.  

    No, we're dragging liberal hypocrisy into this. If this were an inner-city minority being required to serve additional time after completing their original sentence, there'd be demonstrators rioting. Since it's a rural white guy, the demonstrators are terrorists.

     

    It illustrates the fact that the left doesn't really give a **** about justice or equality at all. They want inequality on their terms.

    Tom, respectfully I disagree. Ferguson was a cluster!@#$ where the black people were wrong in general, and the same could be said about Baltimore. The difference between the two situations is that a riot is not organized and would not be considered as terrorism directly. This Oregon situation could loosely be classified as it if they were to kill hostages (that they don't have) or blow up buildings (which I doubt that would happen). Taking over a government building is more treasonous than terrorist given the known parameters of the situation.

     

    The hypocrisy lies in the response to the action, if this was a group of black men or Muslims. The cops would be storming the building in no time. The media would label them as thugs or terrorists or Jihadists or what ever else.

  10. Are these coach comeback threads serious? Not trying to be a dick, but how often do coaches return to previous organizations within a few years of leaving/being let go?

    Wade Philips?

     

    Actually with assistants, they do bounce around back and forth in some cases. So it is within the realm of probability, but not a likelihood.

  11. When discussing QBs I don't see this name brought up in conversations: Jacoby Brissett. Is he eligible for next years draft?

     

    Just looking at the freeze frame that youtube shows... I'd be worried about how he handles the ball. The positioning is rather low and attractive for a DE to get a strip.

  12. As much as I love Leodis, he is no longer my man. If he can make the move to safety for the vet minimum, I'd say fine. He is decent depth, but his days as a starter are over. Yet another 21st century first round bust, joining these illustrious names:

     

    2000 Erik Flowers

    2002 Mike Williams

    2003 Willis McGahee

    2004 J. P. Losman

    2006 Donte Whitner

    2006 John McCargo

    2008 Leodis McKelvin

    2009 Aaron Maybin

    2010 C.J. Spiller

     

    No wonder we suck.

     

    In terms of productivity to the franchise, Leodis and Whitner did do more than the rest. Problem is that they didn't become stars either. To be fair, neither of those two are outright busts, IMO, like Fat Mike or McCargo

  13. I think that Rex and Whaley stay, but certain people have to go. I have been saying this for the last month or so that Garrison Sanborn is screwing our kicking units up a bit as his snap accuracy leaves a lot to be desired. Our coverage teams and return teams have been suspect all season as well. Offensively, I think the biggest changes needed are at RT and either development of Miller or a better RG. On D, I am not sure what Rex has in mind for the D, but I believe that we need to draft a replacement for Kyle, and if Mario goes, him as well. That said, our LB and S positions have been god awful most of the season. We need better there.
