I hope Peyton spends the rest of this season and the entire offseason loading up on Roids and HGH until he's a superhulk with arm strength again, then goes and plays for some NFC team so I don't have to deal with his poo poo any more.

Well that and the five ints he'd throw I'm sure.

Why? What's the point?

The whistle appeared to blow while the pass was in the air. However, the officials ruled to give the Patriots the ball at the spot of the catch, which amounted to a 14-yard gain. In addition, Bills head coach Rex Ryan was penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct for being in the sideline and interfering with the side judge.

In Week 1, Arthur was trampled by a Ravens player on a punt against the Broncos and suffered gruesome injuries: nine broken ribs, a broken collarbone, and a partially collapsed lung.

Monday night’s game was Arthur’s second game back, and our source believes Arthur blew the whistle because he became skittish once Brady and the action of the play rolled his way, toward the sideline.

quote:

With six minutes left in the third quarter, the Patriots caught the Bills defense substituting, quick-snapping the ball while Jerry Hughes was late running onto the field from the sideline, and White scored a 6-yard touchdown to put the Patriots ahead, 20-10.

But the Patriots never should have been allowed to snap the ball, according to the source. A bird’s eye view of the play shows that Patriots tight end Scott Chandler began running onto the field from the sideline, but quickly reversed course and retreated back to the sideline.

The Bills countered by sending three new players on the field, while Jerry Hughes was looking over to the sideline for instructions and was very late getting back to the new line of scrimmage. When the Patriots snapped the football, the Bills were barely set, and Hughes was 15 yards in the backfield.

Even though the Patriots technically didn’t substitute, the officials should have stood over the ball and not allowed the Patriots to snap it until the Bills were given Bills ample time to get their substitutions into the game and set up their defense, per NFL rule 5.2.10, in which the NFL considers a “simulated” substitution like a normal substitution.

The touchdown also should not have counted because when a player is so far in the backfield, as Hughes was, officials are supposed to whistle the play dead and assess the penalty. But they let the play stand.

So where are all those guys from last night's GDT who explained how we were all idiots and Watkins was clearly down inbounds now that Steratore's explanation was more or less psychotic and everyone with officiating experience in the known universe has said the opposite

Yeah, but it was because they were mixing it up with the college rule.

Steratore’s explanation sounds good, but the source said Steratore was just covering for Walker, who is in his second NFL season and used to officiate in the Pac-12.

The source said Walker mistakenly applied the college rule instead of the NFL rule. Just because Watkins went backward does not mean he gave himself up as a runner; running sideways or backward is still considered trying to “advance” the football. For the runner to surrender himself, he has to truly give up on the play — such as when a quarterback slides before taking a hit.

“In the NFL, the way it’s always been officiated is if a guy gets out of bounds, you give it to him and stop the clock,” the source said. “But he called it like the college rule. I’m not sure he knew the NFL rule.”

I do think they should change the rules that 12 men penalties shouldn't include players clearly running off the field away from the action.

The only time it's used is by offenses trying to get cheap penalties, so I think they should loosen up on that.

The White TD wasn't a mistake by the refs. Chandler never crosses the numbers so he doesn't count as a legal substitution, Bills therefore have no right to substitute.

After the Eagles’ loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday dropped the team to 4-6, NJ.com quoted an agent “who requested anonymity because of fear of retribution against his client” as saying that the players don’t buy what Kelly is selling.

“Chip Kelly has lost the team,” said the agent “Between the losses and his bull[bleep] methods that aren’t working, I can tell you that the players have tuned him out.”

The agent also said there’s at least one player on the team who’s using an injury as a reason not to play, even though it’s an injury he’d be able to play through, because “he won’t play hurt for Chip.”
