Another change brought on by whiney Bills fans.

I continue to ask for someone, anyone, to post the video that shows definitively that the refs got it wrong. I know there are a lot of people who “think” he made it and “feel” he made it but just show the video that shows conclusively that he actually did make it.

Everyone cheers these rule changes because they think it hurts KC. They tend to forget that their team will also be impacted positively or negatively by this. Gonna laugh if Buffalo gets spotted short again or KC picks up a critical first down they might not have due to this technology. No different than increased emphasis on illegal formations because folks reeeed about KC and Juwan Taylor.

NFL considering making it illegal to pass rush against Josh Allen in 2025.

This is just an absolutely brilliant idea.

That sounds good in theory but the tush push isn't a normal QB sneak. It would be really hard to throw a pass when you've got 4 guys putting you in a phone booth.

It only eliminates the need for the chain gang to measure on the field.

Seems that most are not reading the article and tbf if you did read the article, then you'd see that the person that wrote it is confused by what this actually is. He seems to think this would have helped on the Josh Allen 4th down play, but it wouldn't. All they're wanting to do is take away measurements with the chains. The refs are still the ones responsible for determining where the ball is placed.

It's wild. I don't think more than 3/4 of the users on this site read the other posts in the threads and they damn sure aren't reading the articles that they are commenting on.

I see you call out people not understanding this multiple times and 99% of the comments are about this fixing where the ball is spotted lol. It's not like this thread is 100+ comments deep. There are like 20 comments and people can't be bothered to read other people's comments.

I think you and I are the only people that have commented in this thread that realize what they are actually trying to change.

I had to look up what a group of owls is, by the way. I never would have guessed 'parliament'.

Are they also going to electronically monitor where the chain gang puts down their sticks? Because isn't that in itself subject to miniscule discrepancies?



Ive always been confused about when they move the chains, but then move them back to remeasure. Like how do we know you got the precise spot back?
