More Rule Changes As A Result Of The Saints

Either team could take a timeout to void the 10-second runoff

Problem solved.

They're not trying to stick it to us. They just want to make the game safer and "fairer."

On a somewhat related note, the league has considered changing the Super Bowl's alternate name, The Big Show, to The (Brady/Manning/Favre) Show.

So what their telling us is, that the players and the teams will be penalized 10 seconds because the officials are too incompetent to make the correct call the first time? I think thats what I'm reading in this rule. Can anybody clarify that?

I would love it if these rules backfire on them & their darling teams get screwed by these rules (ie NE, Pits, Dall, etc.)

Getting more like No Fleur de Lys, more like.

I am hearing the latest new rule is no more than one of Gold, Black, and White on the uniform.

This is starting to get silly. It's like they are trying to make the game so the losers' feelings don't get hurt. Brett Favre threw an INT...no INT they most likely would have won by a FG. Maybe Adrian McFumbles should hold onto the ball while we're at it.

10 second runoffs...I don't see why this had to come in either. A review is a review. At least a TO will help here (if the team has one). I think there will be a lot less challenges due to coaches trying to hold onto a TO in close games.

Kurt Warner, Brett Favre, and Peyton Manning should all take a ride on the Whaaaaaaambulance with the Vikings fans over at Bungie. I have never heard so much whining in all of my life. It's rediculous.

Yes, but because we did not have a timeout at the end of the half in the Miami game, the clock would have ran out and the touchdown that changed the momentum of the game would have never happened.

I just find it odd that the NFL made two rule changes as a direct result of two games that the Saints won.

I don't find it odd, I find it outrageous!

Just ask Oakland (Tuck Rule) and Pittsburgh (Coin Flip Slip). These rule changes has done nothing more than expose the NFL for who and what they are. The NATIONAL FLIP-FLOP LEAGUE!!

Feel different?

Problem solved..

Oh, no... the refs call a time out because they cannot make a ruling on the field, and run off 10 seconds off the clock? HELL NO!.
Make a call. If you can't make the call, don't penalize either team.

The tuck rule is still the tuck rule. Never was changed.
The coin toss in the Lions-Steelers game had nothing to do with the rules... besides, if there's a team in the 2000s that should be nice to the referees, it is Pittsburgh
