Harbaugh just declined a holding penalty that would have made it 3rd & 11 to keep it at 4th & 1 up 10 in the 4th. Once again in the pouring rain. This is hilarious.

Bills 4th-and-1 at the 32, down 7, 4th quarter. McGutless chooses to attempt a FG. misses.

Never change, Bills

As good as McVay has been, he deserves this.

4th and 10 from the TEN32. McVay sends out the punting team. Tennessee somehow is not fooled by the fake punt.

Didn't TEN commit DPI? Even an obvious fake punt might be better than just going for it.

Eh, probably not, I just can't stand up when thinking about how bad that dude makes Jeff Fisher look.

I don't believe DPI can be called on a fake punt.

Pretty sure that is true, DPI cannot be called on a fake punt

Someone tell the refs then because they called DPI on Tampa when Carolina did a fake punt today. The receiver got mugged and hugged for an easy call. It was a receiver over the middle though which apparently is governed under the standard rules. The outside gunners can't draw a DPI.

That's absurd. The punting team can abort the fake and kick the ball at will so all they have to do to get a free runner at your return man is pretend to run a route over the middle?

From the NFL rulebook:

Whenever a team presents an apparent punting formation, defensive pass interference is not to be called for action on the end man on the line of scrimmage, or an eligible receiver behind the line of scrimmage who is aligned or in motion more than one yard outside the end man on the line. Defensive holding, such as tackling a receiver, still can be called and result in a 5-yard penalty and automatic first down from the previous spot, if accepted. Offensive pass interference rules still apply.

Doesn't work. The only people allowed to go downfield are the same people that are excluded from DPI.

"During a kick from scrimmage, only the end men (eligible receivers) on the line of scrimmage at the time of the snap, or an eligible receiver who is aligned or in motion behind the line and is more than one yard outside the end man, are permitted to advance more than one yard beyond the line before the ball is kicked"

This makes complete sense, if anyone else runs a route, you're committed to the fake, so normal rules apply. However, since the gunners running a route leave you with the option to pass or punt, no DPI on them since no way for D to know if they are a receiver.

DQ is a Neanderthal

Pagano appears to be gone

Bengals at 5 timeouts and counting wasted

Chuck Pagano used to be a coach and he should feel bad.

Oklahoma kicks off with :06. THE SQUIB, which goes like 10 yards, no time comes off the clock. Give up FG attempt.

NOT THAT IT ISN'T 100% DESERVED.......but I wonder how long Dan Quinn will stay in the title?

oklahoma can win the game with a touchdown but calls zero pass plays for their heisman trophy winner as they go three and out

Never Forget

Hopefully longer than the college basketball coach nobody gives a **** about who won the game without the game ever actually being in question.

Three point game, ball with Bama with 1:18 left? NEVER IN QUESTION

There's really no margin of victory that will ever make it OK that Pitino was apparently flummoxed by Alabama's halftime adjustment of "removing most of their team"

Considering removing Quinn from the title and leaving Pitino just to annoy RunninCM

"we dont practice against three defenders" is hue jackson level

Down 7 with 1:06 left, Georgia ran a hurry up on 1st and goal from the 6. The clock was running and they could have easily let 30 seconds bleed off (UGA had 2 timeouts, they weren't in any danger of running out of time.)

They won the game so it will be forgotten, but letting OU have 55 seconds and 3 timeouts is pretty massive mistake.

Can't remove Quinn, he seriously is a button pusher to the max.
