Did Jack Del Rio run out on to the field and cry to the refs and then get called for a penalty like a little bitch?

Harbaugh - "Can any of our wide receivers throw a pass? I just came up with something totally original I want to try"

flacco or harbaugh should be suspended for 4 games, the ravens fined 2 picks and a million bucks. this needs to go to court!

Last January:
"It's not fair to try and deceive the other team! They should tell us what play they are about to run."

They adjusted the rule to not allow an ineligible receiver outside of the tackle box. Did this happen here? If not that was the issue with that formation as it was too difficult for the D to set up in time. Hard to see on your replay but if the ineligible receiver was outside of the tackle box then the refs F'd up.

To be honest the jags tried to give the game away but the Fins seem to be lost this year. This weekend will tell us all what we need to know about the bills and Fins. Fins lose and Philbin is done....

As per the pats I'm not sure how teams don't just double gronk and put their best cover guy on edelman. It just blows my mind...instead the steelers leave gronk wide open genious!

I think it breaks the unwritten rules of football.

So you just give up 40 and let those two run wild? No way I make brady go where he doesn't want to go. If those other tools beat you then so be it but I wouldn't concede. Very surprised rex didn't have a better plan for this....

I think that the rule change was necessary as the D needs to know who to cover and have enough time to get their players in position. Otherwise the game of football would be who can run out their ineligible players quicker. The refs can't even keep up with it.

Nobody does, especially when they get in the red zone and go to a four TE set. It's virtually unstoppable. The defense is forced to send in a jumbo package to defend the run, but are caught in the trap when two or three TE's then shift out.

Wrong again. the refs kept up just fine. In fact they even announced on one play over the PA system who was ineligible and Not To Cover Him.

I'm not worried about your 3-4 TE regular LB's can cover those guys but I would double gronk all game. Agile LB at the line to bump him with a safety over top...all game even in the redzone. Edelman I put my top cover guy on and at least limit him.

I'm not saying leave the other guys open but none of them have proven to beat 1-1 consistently so who cares if they beat you then they deserve it. At least you are taking brady out of his 1st two reads....

It still wasn't good enough. I can't believe you are fighting against a necessary rule change that actually happened for this reason. They didn't change it because harbough cried they did it because it wasn't allowing the D to set up properly and was ruining the game. Put a TE at WR fine as you know he's eligible but the shell game isn't football....

A lot more complicated than that, and it hasn't been stopped yet.
