Game Thread W5 - San Diego vs. Pittsburgh (1 Viewer)

MT, have you a link to the rules?

No, I've got the book.But they are on the Internet on something like www.bengal1.com -- not exactly sure of the URL, just some guy's home page who typed up all the rules from the book.

 
We need a nickname ala the "Tuck Rule" for Rule 10, Section 1, Article 4, Supplemental Note (2). Any thoughts?

 
Here's the rule:

"After a valid fair catch signal, the opportunity to make a catch does not end when a kick is muffed. The player who signaled fair catch must have a reasonable opportunity to catch the ball before it hits the ground without being interefered with by the members of the kicking team."

Rule 10, Section 1, Article 4, Supplemental Note (2).

Gotta love blind homerism. :rolleyes:

The guys gives props to the dude who actually took the time to look up the rule and post it for the rest of us, and it's blind homerism?

There was no chance of him recatching the ball it was a yard in front of his outstretched arms. Even with the rule, it's a terrible call.

That's not my point. Bad call or not, I think we're all better off for now knowing what the official rule is. So, posting the rule IS good posting, regardless of the call. You don't have to be a homer to appreciate it... get it?
Click to expand...
No the point is, that they still think it was a good call. Which it wasn't. I wasn't saying that posting the rule was bad, but thinking the call was right just because SD is "your" team is.... get it?

Tell me where they say, "this was a good call" in the posts in question. Seriously, point it out to me. I hate San Diego, by the way. So, no, I don't get it.

Sadly, this call might mean the difference between a W and a L for me this week.

But I don't know if the refs could've used that part of the rule. Where did Sproles have that reasonable opportunity? He was hit a split second after the ball hit him in the mask. Granted, he had no shot at the ball, but that part is not in the rulebook.

In my mind the amount of opportunity that is reasonable is related to the muff. If you are bobbling it in your hands, you should have a chance to grab it before it hits.If you muff the catch so badly that it bounces off your head and goes flying forward a split second time to recover (ie next to none) seems reasonable.

 
Hey, I see that Tripplett is the Referee for the game tonight. Already 16 accepted penalties. We are in for a long night.Should have done an over/under for his crew.

 
MARRRRTY!!!! OH MARRRRTY!!!

Week 1 - LT: 20 Touches = LOSS

Week 2 - LT: 21 Touches = LOSS

Week 3 - LT: 24 Touches = WIN BIG

Week 4 - LT: 27 Touches = WIN BIGGER

Week 5 - LT: on Pace for 21 Touches = Losing

Which one of these kids is doing his own thing?

Are you a freaking moron?

Hello, McFly?!??

It's not only the # of touches, but how he is used. Don't get me wrong, LT has been great so far this year, but it is not because of Marty. How in the hell can everyone in the world be saying, "If you blitz you take LT out of the passing game", and it be true? Why does LT have to block every time someone blitzes, and this is common knowledge to all coaches. Has Marty ever heard of a freakin DRAW? It is the best way to slow down a blitzing defense. Or slip him under the blitz, leaving only 4 or so defensive guys left to tackle LT. Come on, this blitz and he has to block stuff is an absolute joke. I'm done. Let's go LT.
 
What a terrible call. He had his chance to catch the ####### ball. He muffed it. I'll bet the first person to respond $5 that the NFL issues the Steelers ANOTHER apology.

I can accept that argument.But it's a stupid rule, that doesn't need to be argued...because it doesn't need to exist.

 
NK FG are killing me.Down 9 going into the game...LT vs NK...I'm getting beat...unreal...worst nightmare...and now they can get the lead if they kick 1 more...suxor

Correct. The replay show he wasn't molested until after the muff.Replay showed it muff, then molestation. In slo mo . . . Muff . . . molestation . . . muff . . . molestation . . .

There we have it. Call it the Molested Muff Rule.
 
Why didn't they change Bettis' nickname to The School Bus when he was traded to the yellow and black?

 
During the break. Since they were talking about Hall of Fame kickers. Do you think Vinatieri will be elected into the HoF?

 
Madden: "There's a lot of pressure on that belt buckle"

Michaels: "Whatever he's packing he can still move it"

THis is getting homo-erotic

LOL. That's good stuff.

Good stuff? Madden and the Bus!?!? :loco:
Click to expand...
Sure. I find it funny. The comedic value of the commentary is what I consider "good stuff".Visions of Madden and the Bus never entered my mind.

Maybe Triplett is from Pittsburgh :towelwave: would explain why he wants to keep waiving yellow flags... probably why he threw the flag on the Molested Muff Punt Return...probably got excited than he had to come up with a reason
