Weapon of Mass Instruction
Watch my feet!
Ok, here is Tennessee's last drive:
-- Cleveland calls a timeout.
-- Officials whistle ready...Cleveland realizes they only have 10 men on the field so Cleveland calls another timeout.
-- Wait a minute...you can't call back to back timeouts, right Joe Gibbs?
-- Officials blow the whistle, then huddle up.
-- Ron Winters emerges and proclaims that Cleveland will not be awarded a timeout because you can't call back to back timeouts. Well, duh, Ron -- that is why it is a penalty.
-- However, they also do not call a penalty -- they just disallow the timeout...which they didn't disallow because the stoppage in play allowed the 11th man to get on the field. So, basically they allowed back to back timeouts and in the process gave them an extra timeout.
** Lendale had exactly 100 yards, then lost 1 on the subsequent 4th and 2. Had the correct penalty been called, it would have been 1st and goal on the 3. Lendale gets the ball up to 4 straight times then scores. He finishes with 103 yards.
** Having 2 RBs go over 100 yards each 3 times in one season hadn't happened since 1976 with Bleier and Harris on the Steelers.
** I bet the diff between 99 and 100 yards was a loss for a bunch of fantasy teams, too. Fisher was trying to tell them but they just wouldn't listen. Horrible, horrible crew. They also mispotted a 10 yard penalty by 5 yards. Winter pointed the wrong way on 2 penalties.
