2020 new rules....................more flags less play

[Drink IRON City]

More replay booth taking longer time but some penalties will start clock once ball is set (had to do something to offset penalty time consumption.)

Game clock manipulation
This change to Amend 4, Section 3, Article 12 "prevents teams from manipulating the game clock by com​​mitting multiple dead-ball fouls while the clock is running.​"

Below is the new rulebook entry, with the new language underlined and deleted language struck through:

ARTICLE 2. SCRIMMAGE DOWN.

Following any timeout (3-37-1), the game clock shall be started on a scrimmage down when the ball is next snapped, except in the following situations:

(e) If the game clock is stopped after a down in which there was a foul by either team, following enforcement or declination of a penalty, the game clock will start as if the foul had not occurred, except that the clock will start on the snap if:

(1) the foul occurs after the two-minute warning of the first half;
(2) the foul occurs inside the last five minutes of the second half; or
(3) the offense commits a dead-ball foul during the fourth quarter or overtime that is accepted; or
(4) a specific rule prescribes otherwise.

We call this the cheatriot rule 2020

Everybody thinks this is a funny little deal, exploiting a loop hole but the BIG picture is the team continuously doing the "shade" things. Been caught so many times but I wonder how many times the OFFICIALS of the NFL have looked the other way.

As a coach / player / owner / member of any other NFL franchise I would be absolutely livid towards the ******* cheatriot *******'s . This rule thingy here is minor when looked at as a single thing. ADD all the chyt up they have been involved in and WhoALa you have a dirty cheating franchise top to bottom. The cheating occurs so often that people just accept it as the F has accepted it and move on. Bilicheat isn't the best coach ever, he is the best manipulating the rules coach ever.

This thread isn't about the cheater (but anything to do with rules leads to these *******) but it is about the new rules. I think the official in the booth should have been approved.

Rules are meant to be tested and exploited in my book. Broken, never. I hate the ******** as much as any of you, but I dont have a problem with what they did here. If you write a horrible law, a lawyer will exploit it and cause a re-write by a law maker. No difference here in my book.

oh yeah, **** the *Patriots.

To many ways to cheat, wait a minute we have sportsmanship between teams we shake hands and trade jersey's after the game, coaches hunt each other out hake hands.
