MNF - Jets vs Titans


Recommended Posts

Damn, I missed the end of the game. Was it a defensive penalty? In that case, no, the game cannot end under those circumstances. Being a Giants fan I know this all too well, as that blown call at the end cost us a chance at a re-kick in the Wild Card playoff against the 49ers last season.

geez, what is wrong with the titans? middle of the seasons had me so pumped, but now after so-so jacksonville, embarassing 1st quarter vs. atlanta, and now loss at ny, we're really sucking. if play anything like this against indy we're gonna lose again bad :(

that was definitely a rough first quarter against atlanta. i was at that game sitting near a bunch of titans fans and they were all getting really worried, but they made a great comeback, and thats the kind of thing that brings teams together, then last night they had a chance to tie that one up. its probably better that they work all this out now before the playoffs. they'll probably still end up with the 2nd seed in the AFC and a bye in the first round, nothing to worry about yet.

Found the answer, but I never knew this rule even existed.

3-18-NYJ48 (1:07) PENALTY on TEN-R.Smith, Encroachment, 0 yards, enforced at NYJ 48 - No Play. By rule defensive foul causes run off of 40 seconds -- game ends.

well now that i think about it, that rule isnt so bad, that way a team cant intentionally encroach to stop the clock. kneeling the ball is pretty lame though

i don't see anything wrong with that rule either...

also, what's wrong with kneeling? unless you are trying to lose the game on purpose. would it make you happier if they handed it off to the running back, and then he just falls down on purpose?

was it peyton manning who pulled the fake kneel once? except the refs figured he was gonna kneel and blew the whistle anyways...that was pretty funny.

I don't know if it was a fake kneel, but I have seen a fake intentional grounding get whistled dead. Pretty ****ed off QB! :D

Intentional Grounding....If you watch, 80% of the time, those should be ruled fumbles. The QB almost never gets the arm up. Any other play, and that's a fumble.

that's right, it was a fake spike, not fake kneel. he completed the pass but the ref already blew the whistle.

why does he have to get his arm up? i don't think arm position has anything to do with it. as long as it's moving forward. dropped forward shovel passes aren't fumbles either.

however, they should be fumbles if the ball doesn't actually cross the line of scrimmage.
