I was referring to the NFL with my question about running up the score. Being that it is a business, I would assume "good sportsmanship", "professional courtesy", and "feelings" don't matter when it came to marketing a team and the slim chance that a playoff spot is decided by PF/PA. Deteriorata posted:Also, players get frustrated and will tend to foul deliberately and cause injuries and start fights when they're incapable of stopping the other team legally. It's generally better not to provoke such reactions in the first place. Good point. Deteriorata posted:When it's clear to everyone that you're the better team and could score at will, it doesn't really gain you anything to go ahead and do it. It just makes you look like an rear end in a top hat, like beating up on a cripple. In the NFL, does that really factor in? Fans are pretty diehard, so I would think that being a dominant team would outweigh being an rear end in a top hat and beating up on a cripple. I don't know any Seahawks fans that felt bad about the last Superbowl.

Deteriorata posted:With professionals, I have no problem running up the score. They're paid to be out there. There's enough parity among the teams that they should be able to mount some sort of defense regardless of the situation. You should always run up the score in rivalry games. Or to make sure a team knows their place like Jim Tressel did to Northwestern.

You also don't want a reputation as a dickhead. Next year you might be looking for a job, or trying to recruit the very same players and coaches you humiliated. The NFL is not a very big place, some of those weirdos take poo poo really personally.

wheez the roux posted:Running up the score on Idaho was also Extremely Satisfying Are you the sort of dude that would dunk on a ten year old, then shove him and yell "suck it, bitch" because that's basically what running up the score on Idaho is I can barely conceptualize the idea of an NFL team running up the score because the loser is still relatively capable. Since 1966, there's only 13 games that crossed the 50+ MOV line. Ohio State and Penn State alone combined for 15 games like that in the same timeframe. Of course, the other major concern is the question of "at what point are you in permanent in the lead, and therefore anything beyond that is running up the score?" I think that once you're 28 points its unlikely that you're going to blow that completely and once you cross 35 its almost impossible to lose. Oh, and the game is definitely over when the losing team starts putting backups because those guys definitely aren't going to stop you Sash! fucked around with this message at 17:58 on Jan 31, 2015 |

Jimmy Johnson ran the score up at Miami and it owned until God's Son Joe Paterno came in and taught him a lesson. Still landed him a pretty sweet pro gig.

Russell Wilson is basically a tubby suburban dad who thinks Longhorn Steakhouse is the pinnacle of restaurantery and is fascinated by Ron Paul, placed inside of a kinda black man's body Russell Wilson knows what time local radio does the traffic and weather and tunes in every day and has a preset for the bass/treble so he can hear Holly Copter's voice perfectly Russell Wilson hates the smell of weed Russell Wilson buys the Seventh Generation dish soap because the Gulf of Mexico is all kinds of hosed up because of chemicals Russell Wilson doesn't give money to the homeless because that would be enabling a lifestyle that is damaging for them. He has memorized the location of a nearby homeless shelter and he recites it to the poor people he passes on the street Russell Wilson gets dismayed when his friends' dogs bark or whine which they do all the time because he reeks of cologne Russell Wilson took ballroom dance lessons in college and manages to exhibit his talents every opportunity he gets

Why are linemen not allowed to simulate the start of a play, but the quarterback can? Seems like a double standard.

A false start is defined as a quick, jerky movement (by any Team A player including the QB; in theory knee bends and head bobs on a hard count are false starts, but often the NFL likes to let them do that because reasons) that simulates the start of the play. If it's not both of those things, it's not a false start. Linemen do not have to remain rock still. The example I like to use is of legitimate movement is a center in shotgun with a silent count - he starts looking between his legs for the QB, and then often does make a quick movement to get his head up before snapping the ball, but it can't simulate the start of the play because he's never going to snap the ball until after he's looking forward to see what's about to hit him, and any defender who tries to beat the ball by keying on the head lift deserves every offside penalty that he gets.

Those 2 games are basically the greatest 2 games played at the same time in NFL history. Changing the tiebreakers to common opponent record and SoS and SoV was dumb. Hell look at what baseball did after its greatest four simultaneous Game 162s ever when the Braves and Red Sox both managed to blow their playoff chances on the same day. They thought it was so awesome they added another wild card so they could do it every year and those games are great. axeil fucked around with this message at 21:32 on Feb 19, 2015 |

If the rule to defensive PI changes to 15 yards instead of spot of the fault, what would prevent DBs from comitting it every single time they think a deep pass will be completed?

If a deep pass is likely to be completed, often the receiver has already run past the corner and no interference is possible.

This is what the rule is for every other level of football and it works just fine. I hate this argument from NFL guys. It's fine if the NFL wants to have the rule be a spot penalty, but that isn't historically what has been done, or what other levels do and they have gotten along just fine. It won't ruin, or even really appreciably change the game if they go to 15 yards.

The most you could say is that it slightly favors the defense if you change it, and I'm sure all the non-Ravens fans here agree that a little help for defenses would not be a bad thing.

What tends to happen in college is guys don't realize they're beat/think they can still make a play until it's too late. Maybe the NFL corners will be good enough to recognize earlier or game this in some fashion but I doubt it.
