Around the NFL Week 12

Let me introduce you guys to Justin Tucker, aka the Ravens kicker. When he's not being one of the best at his position (I believe he's 18 for 18 beyond 40 yards this year) he likes making awkward dad jokes as seen here:

Wow. Respect.

Harbaugh took advantage of a loophole. The coaches who don't take advantage of loopholes are the ones that don't last. Every coach is looking for every advantage. Harbaugh might be the first coach to do this but he won't be the last.

Time for a rule change to close that loophole. Holding is a foul, which means it is considered to be unfair. For the game to be closed out via a mass violation of the holding rule doesn't seem to me to be what the League would want.

Yeah I just don't get why the game can't end on a defensive penalty... but can end on an offensive penalty... The Bengals should've had the choice to accept the penalty, refuse the safety, and replay the down...

Did anyone see Doug Peterson use his last challenge to gain 2 yards on a short pass play last night? Laughable how bad that was....

Because if it could end on a defensive penalty nobody would ever score at the end of a game. There would be pass interference, face mask tackling, etc etc.
What the Ravens did was basically run out the clock, but when you have the lead and the ball that is your choice.
I guess the nfl thinks if you have the ball and need to score that you should be given a fair opportunity to do so, but if you need to get the ball back AND score that you are fucked anyway.
Plus remember that if you have the ball and it is the last play and you are losing - it obviously is not fair that if you commit a penalty that you should get another shot. It is a very fair rule in that way.

I totally get why the game can't end on a defensive penalty... what I disagree with is that it can end on an offensive penalty. I think it should always be the choice of the team "victim" of the penalty.

RG-3 cleared for full contact. Look out. Lol

I hope kirk becomes lethal like drew.. That man is fun to watch

Cannot be anymore lethal than he has been....

That is a really good, common sense idea. It fixes a potential abuse of the rules without impacting anything other than the specific loophole it is designed to remedy.

For those reasons, it'll never be enacted.

Pretty sure after all the media attention the NFL will discuss it this offseason. But like most rule changes they do, it will be overkill vs. a simple solution like what Frenchskin suggested.
