boyst Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 I am thinking the NFL needs to remove the penalty of run offs and using time outs at the end of the games for this. It is not just because of today's game, although, it gives perception to it. The league needs to protect the players and not make them feel as if they need to sacrifice themselves to avoid a TO. It hurts knowing that this will get abused by teams; likely, the Patriots, but it would be for the better of the players and the game.

Dirtbag Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 no way. the final two minutes would take an hour.

Wagon Circler Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 When the clock is already stopped, as it was here because of imcompletions, no reason to penalize a team by taking timeouts away. No great advantage gained there by faking an injury. Change the rule.

No great advantage gained there by faking an injury. Change the rule. +1 Clearly that should be the rule. if a player is injured when the clock is stopped, then no injury TO. It's like the penalty run-off at the end of the game. If the clock is stopped, they don't run off time for a penalty. Should be the same for an injury.
thebug Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 Sorry, but unless you have a broken neck......get the !@#$ off of the field on your own.
Bob in STL Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 Didn't really affect the game man. Its a good rule to prevent cheating. It kind of did. It kept us from trying any running plays. It is inexcusable that we ran every play on the last drive from the empty backfield spread and that Spiller got the ball one time in the last 2 minutes. A time out or two would have helped us, of course with Gailey you never know.
Ramius Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 Or Donald Jones could have just gotten his worthless ass off the field.
stevestojan Posted November 12, 2012 Posted November 12, 2012 Or Donald Jones could have just gotten his worthless ass off the field. This. I do agree with OP if the clock was stopped anyway. Maybe I'm missing something but on an incomplete pass not sure what one gains from faking an injury. Well, I guess on defense you could give your team time to adjust to a no huddle. I'm torn on this one.
