Belichick exploited “loophole” in NFL rules to run extra time off the clock

A loophole is a rule you use for your advantage.

The Jets should have been happy with this. Anything to end that game sooner benefits everyone but the advertisers.

It was 33-0. The mercy rule should have come into effect halfway throught the 4th.

I thought that was the most hilarious thing of all time. Especially when the Jets declined the false start after, LMFAO. Gase is a complete moron and in over his head. His little 'speech' to Darnold was about the most pathetic thing I've heard.

The Pats' coach knows more about football rules than the officials. He will always find an angle.

He actually LAUGHED when Bolden did whatever the hell that was to try and get called for a false start and then when Gase didn't accept penalty he laughed (and tried to hide it with his headset)

People in the 3rd world that have never heard of football know more about the rules than the officials.

"We get the ball after halftime!"

"Just do you".... Throw to someone inn Green... To be fair he either threw it to the ground which is green or to someone in the stands wearing green so I guess he did ok

I thought it was funny watching him smirk on the sidelines after the false start... Smart man... You wonder how this will open the door for the remainder of the season with teams... Definitely will be addressed after the season but I don't think they can change it now...

The just do you part was killing me. Him just doing him is the reason you're down 24-0 fuckhead. How about, "You need to slide over some protection, they are blitzing heavily. Try your best to recognize, and let's dial up some screens/slants to abuse it. Throwing downfield is going to be too difficult because their corners/secondary is matching well against our WRs. Let's try our best to get Bell involved a bit more."

I mean I'm no coach but it was blatantly obvious what the problem was.

And Sam Darnold's comment was taken out of context. The ghosts he was seeing were his offensive line.

exactly and to make it worse when Gase was with the Dolphins he was pretty good with a scheme to help his QB or at least make some sort of adjustments. He made absolutely no changes what so ever

If you don't believe that he's the best coach in the NFL you're either very dumb or believe denial is a river in Africa.

 

[Shanemansj13]

When he retires he should become head NFL official and teach these slapdicks. The NFL referees are a joke

 

[jarntt]

If done on purpose to run the clock, why the heck would you waste it on this game? Save it for a more important time/closer game. They are just going to change it

Followup, I thought they changed this rule a while back. I remember a team benefiting from this and running down the clock. Maybe they only changed it within the final 2 minutes?

Well, ideally he would have saved it for a close game when it would impact the game. But when can we count on a close game between the Pats and Jets?

It was an opportunity to get another dig in on the team he hates.
