Oh the free kick bit was another 5 minutes of wasting time.

Most teams are not dumb enough to commit penalties on a fair catch let alone an end of half/game one so cant really blame the zebras for not knowing the rules.

 

[Brasher]

I kinda understand some if them because each ref has a threshold for judgement calls. but way too many are inconsistent. the rules need to clear up some rules.

But lets be real the only change in the offseason will be a new kickoff/onside changes or a 4th and 15 or 20 in replace for a onside kick.

I hope the last bit never happens. What has the trailing done to deserve a free possession?

League would just be exposing officiating crews to more timely PIs, holding etc depending on the prevailing narrative.

Colts/Dolphins/Bengals loving this game so far

I feel like it would be 1 play from their own 25 and if its picked off then the defense gets the ball. but the question becomes if they scored a TD do they get it or is it a successful conversion and 1st and 10 from midfield or whatever.

the onside thing needs to be reworked. but other then a single play not sure if there are any good options. It needs to be a 4th and 20 or so just so its not easy to pick up.

Could be a 4th and goal from the 20 and you need to "score" to get the possession but dont get points just so there is the back of the endzone as a extra defender and less space to cover but offence still needs to get a big play. but if there is a PI call then its not a success its just retry but half the distance unless its a clear one by the db like the professional foul type thing. or only have skyjudge throw a flag for clear calls 50/50 is let go

But knowing the NFL they will do it without thinking about all the little things and have it a mess like always.

Thought they were going to nix the tush push

Thought they were going to nix the tush push

wouldnt be surprised if they look at it again. might change the rules to prevent OL starting in a 4 point stance on them

 

[rumply]

wft was that play

 

[aussiedude]

What are you doing Chargers. have a TE and RB just ignore the rusher and fake chip him as he is unblocked for a sack.

 

[rumply]

was there any actual head contact there? Doubtful.

 

[Brasher]

Oh man this qb sliding is so random.

Make the rule for qb runners same as when they are in the pocket. Can't hit helmets or go low then so what's the problem for a qb in the open field?

 

[rumply]

Nice tackle, was sure Herbert would get that in,

the slide is the issue. if they stay standing while running they get blown up.

If they removed the protections QB's get and are treated as runner like RB/WR they wouldnt slide because it wont be a flag unless its a dirty hit [the Lawrence one] or they slide much earlier.

without QB protections Herbert doesnt run because its not worth a hit for 5yds when that contact wouldnt draw a flag under a rule change.

Hands on coach is Harbaugh

They get hit harder a lot of the time on blind side sacks. The slide puts them in harms way and defenders are confused on what to do because a lot of qbs sneak free yards.

 

[aussiedude]

the Chargers RB/TE/FB chips are horrible. they whiff on all of them

 

[Brasher]

That's outstanding

Edit...wow and what a good game

 

[rumply]

McConkeys mother must need a xanax before each game

 

[rumply]

gtfo!

 

[aussiedude]

great play on the 2pt conversion

 

[rumply]

2 good TNF games in 3 weeks, what is going on here!

I think she is still hoping he grows up into adult clothing.

I feel like the Chargers are a team who always play good TNF games just because are so crazy you know they are going to do some good stuff and let other teams also look good at times.

You mean you weren't entertained last week?

Chargers should play the Cardinals every week. The Chocolate wheel at Crown would provide great in game analysis.
