The one where if a team takes a lead top of an inning, and the game is called because of rain, and the teams aren't scheduled to play again this season, the score reverts to the previous full inning where a team held a lead, thereby possibly giving a win to the team that is losing at the time the game is called.

(see tonight's currently delayed Royals-Cardinals game where KC is leading in the 9th 4-2 with bases loaded and no outs, but could lose the game if it is called.)

They changed the rule. Worst case scenario: the game is suspended and completed at a later date w/ the Royals up and the bases loaded.

And PI should have two tiers. Incidental PI should be a 10 yard penalty or spot foul, whichever is shorter. Egregious PI should be a spot foul. It's clear that the refs need something between illegal contact and spot fouls

No, they have explained it several times on the game updates tonight. What I described is accurate.

The Detroit Lions game this past Thanksgiving versus Houston. Texans RB runs up the middle, gets tackled, knee obviously touches, refs miss it. He runs 70 yards and is awarded the TD. Schwartz immediately throws challenge flag. Can't challenge a scoring play because they're automatically reviewed.

Rather than doing the logical thing of still reviewing the play and then penalizing the Lions for the illegal flag, there is some dumbass rule that keeps the refs from reviewing the play if the challenge flag is thrown when it shouldn't have been. Therefore, they just let Houston keep the touchdown. All integrity of the game went out the window on that one.
They've changed the rule. There will now be a review in that situation.

They should review that. I always felt that the rule of all scoring plays are reviewed are just to verify they crossed the plain. Not something that happened 70 yards earlier.

What's roughing the passer for Pey Pey is not what's roughing the passer for any random Chiefs or Browns QB. Pey Pey gets a hand graze on the shoulder pad the same instant the ball leaves his hand it's 15 yards and automatic first. Random Chiefs or Browns QB can get hit 3 seconds after the play helmet to helmet and have to leave for a series and it's a great defensive play.

Alright I'm exaggerating a bit but I'm not that far off either.
I disagree.

The shady bounty shit in New Orleans is exactly why QB protections are in place. The Saints cheated by taking cheap shots at QBs. They succeeded in knocking Kurt Warner and Brett Favre out of critical playoff games. Quite possible they won the Minnesota game by cheating, because Favre didn't return for the critical last series of the game.

It's the Tonya Harding effect. QBs are critical to a game, and the last thing you want is for a team to be incentivized to cheat by taking cheap shots that knock a QB out of a game. Most defensive players will take a fine and a 15 yard penalty if it means knocking a QB out of a game.

No knees to the head of a grounded opponent is by far the one I detest the most.

I understand not allowing stomps/soccer kicks within a cage for obvious reasons, but knees to the head need to come back.

I like the 15-yard college rule.

Speaking of college, I hate their 1 foot inbounds for receptions.

No...because it is the last time that the Royals and Cards are playing this year, it can be called, and the Royals would lose.

I hate that offensive holding is a 10-yard penalty.

Just negating the play is good enough.

I would like to see the failure rate for drives when holding is called.


If I were a conspiracy nut, this call would be what I would concentrate on. It can be called any time and it's absolutely devastating.
