I will be breaking #3 next weekend. As for #10 if I were an NFL coach and I scored a TD in the last 2 minutes of the game and a PAT would tie the game then I am going for 2.

Thou shall not complain about the play-calling during the preseason.

This is the one that bugs me the most in the past.

 

[Pooh Tong and Nemo]

Can we add some? One for the real NFL owners...

Thou shalt not force season ticket holders to pay regular season prices for exhibition/pre-season games.

For Michigan residents: Thou shall not riot if the Lions win a preseason game.

I think I would cut Lion's fans some slack if this happens.

 

[Pooh Tong and Nemo]

Thou shalt not sell 5 dollar squares in office pools for exhibition games

 

[Saints-Man]

...
Thou shall not throw a party or meet at a sports bar to watch a preseason game. ...

Why the hell not? Why would you need a reason to have a party or meet at a bar, much less to watch any kind of football?

Agree with #10...but in a backwards kinda way.

If I'm a coach in the preseason why wouldn't I go for 2 everytime? I'm sure my kicker can kick an extra point, but getting some real reps in an all or nothing situation is a nice way to find out what you have.

#11 Never listen to the Doug Gottlieb show if you have Sirius NFL radio available.

Why not? Half the starting QBs in the NFL were a third string QB at one point...
