Freddie's Dead Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 10 minutes ago, The Jokeman said: They weren't cheating but they were definitely playing to the letter of the rule, much like they did when they had that weird formation against the Ravens a few years back. It's what the Patriots have done the last few years to exploit the rules as much as they can do allow things help them. While I don't like it from a sportsmanship standpoint but he/they has the right to keep doing it as per the rules are right now. Cheatin' *****.

Captain Hindsight Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 McDermott seems to have a good handle on the rules. I've noticed he coaches the guys to push the offensive player backwards before going out of bounds late in games. It keeps the clock running Bills lost on this rule in Seattle a few years ago when SW was pushed out

I can only hope Sean McDermott is the one smirking in December when we do the same thing to them...in NE...with time running out....and the Bills holding on to a lead. Wow, first it was a blow out and doing it was the merciful thing to do. (Darnold was do throw a pick 6 at any moment lol) That said come December who knows what these teams look like.. injuries happen, trade deadline.. etc.

Officials have discretion to stop the clock if it’s obvious a team is killing time like that. If it continued or happens again I’m sure they will simply not allow the clock to run. They do?

Nobody goes through the rulebook quite like him. I'm surprised he wasted it against the jests. Link jets accept the penalty and this can’t happen. Because then it is on the snap.

PetermansRedemption Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) 23 minutes ago, Mr. WEO said: They do? Depends on the time left on the clock. Outside of 1 minute all they could do is official times it and reset play clock to 25 instead of 40. Within one minute they get some more options. Within one minute to play the NFL rule book states that a foul by either team that prevents the snap can be penalized by 5 yards for delay of game and the offended team would get the option to start the clock on the snap, rather than the ready.

DrDawkinstein Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 I dont get why the Jets were declining. Other than the obvious "Its the Jets" answer. 1

I really wish Belichek had kept committing penalties. I wonder how many times it would have taken Gase to understand what was happening. I found it amusing. 1 1

TigerJ Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 My question is how do you fix the rules. If you change the rule so that the clock stops for penalties, it allows the losing team to save time by deliberately committing a penalty. 40 seconds could easily be more valuable than the 5 yard cost of a false start penalty to a team that is three points behind with no timeouts and 45 seconds on the game clock. Could you actually write the rule so the clock only stops for penalties if the team committing the penalty is ahead?

If the Referee deems that you are intentionally and repeatedly delaying the game they can absolutely hit you with an Unsportsmanlike Conduct penalty and attribute it to the bench. End of controversy.
Livinginthepast Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 Bellichick is a smart guy operating in a league full of dolts. Its like if you went back to 8th grade as an adult. You would be a school all star!
Doc Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 So genius...he used it in a game he was winning 33-0. And I guess he made Gase decline the penalties. 1
papazoid Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 my guess is that it happened against belichick in a previous game that went unnoticed by most. he didnt like that. so he just wanted to expose the flaw in the rule...seeing as he did it at a time that was of little value 1 1

Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 9 hours ago, Mango said: I also don’t think BB’s thought there was to run out the clock. My guess is Gase declines, and BB was like “wait, what? You need the clock, I need the 5 yards. Let’s try this again Adam” then facepalm laughter ensued. That was the speculation I heard - Bill wanted the extra space for his punter, and didn't expect Gase to decline. But maybe Gase didn't "need the clock" - maybe at that point he would have been happy if Belicheck could have just run the clock down to 0 1
