TheBillsWillRiseAgain Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Geeze now the Patriots will have to use fully inflated balls AND they won't be able to circumvent the substitution rules? That doesn't seam very fair to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the way that headline was written. As if the refs wouldn't make the same signal if the Seahawks lined up in such a formation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papazoid Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 NFL says Solder touchdown play was illegal "There was an issue on that play where on the previous play, [Cameron] Fleming had reported as an eligible player," Blandino said. "And on the Solder touchdown he went back to playing an ineligible position. That’s illegal. That’s an illegal substitution. So that’s something we discussed with the crew. Bill [belichick] was made aware of it. So we’re going to be looking for that, make sure we follow the proper mechanics so that doesn’t happen again." For Fleming to go from an eligible player to an ineligible player, by rule, he would have had to sit out one play (unless there was a timeout, a penalty, or it was the end of a quarter) before returning to the field. http://www.csnne.com/blog/patriots-talk/nfl-says-solder-touchdown-play-was-illegal?p=ya5nbcs&ocid=yahoo Confusion continues about refs signaling Patriots’ ineligible receivers http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/01/30/confusion-continues-about-refs-signaling-patriots-ineligible-receivers/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan-4-Ever Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) I heard they will walk up to the ineligible receiver and mark him by urinating on his shoes. LOL Carroll said referees will point to an eligible player and will make an arm-crossing motion at the knees for a player reporting as ineligible -- several reporters present have said the motion Carroll portrayed looked like The Charleston. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000465143/article/blandino-refs-signaled-ineligible-players-in-afc-title stadium music must balre out Cherry Poppin' Daddies or Chubawumba Edited January 30, 2015 by BillsFan-4-Ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
