defensive holding, right?

Re: NFL Week 1
Yes, but hell, call it offsides or whatever. Any defensive penalty on the PAT. It just sounded like to me that if they took that penalty on the...is it the 15 they kick from?...that they can choose to enforce it like they lined up at the 2.Brontoburglar wrote:defensive holding, right?

The defensive thing makes more sense than the above from the article. If you are called for an offensive penalty on a failed 2 point, why would the defense not just decline? (I suppose with the exception of a false start/deadball?)article wrote:For instance, if a team chooses to go for two points and is called for an offensive penalty, they could then decide to kick a 1-point try.

Rekicking the PAT makes no sense, but I could see going for 2 with half the distance to cover. I guess.BSF21 wrote:Was I correct in hearing what I thought last night?
Team A kicks PAT, PAT is good, Holding on the play.
Team A could elect to:
-Decline, PAT is good
-Accept, rekick PAT from 5 yards closer
-Accept, choose to go for 2 and enforce the penalty from that spot, giving them the ball on the 1 yard line for 2pt conversion?
That last one seems wacky but I swear I heard Al Michaels say it.

Re: NFL Week 1
Technically you probably could have done the same thing in the past and the PAT would be moved from the 2 to the 1, but of course that's stupid. Just as you noted above, it would be stupid to accept the penalty and re-kick regardless of where the PAT line is.The Sybian wrote:Rekicking the PAT makes no sense, but I could see going for 2 with half the distance to cover.

Re: NFL Week 1
I think that goes without saying. The issue I have is that you can apparently change midsteam and the field position is changed. In the old days the ball was spotted at the 2 so I have no issue with changing it up if you end up on the one. But now you're changing a 1 yard penalty into a 14 yard penalty. Since the spots have changed, I think they ought to have to pick one and stick with it.brian wrote:Technically you probably could have done the same thing in the past and the PAT would be moved from the 2 to the 1, but of course that's stupid.

It's just like the good old days when the Raiders didn't care about a guy's background, as long as they'd help the team win. Warren Wells, John Matuszak... Aldon Smith!

They should use the Brady ruling to appeal his surely upcoming suspension on the grounds that the league's player policies don't specifically say that you can get suspended for making terroristic threats in an airport or destroying your teammate's car.sancarlos wrote:It's just like the good old days when the Raiders didn't care about a guy's background, as long as they'd help the team win.

Re: NFL Week 1
The amount of hubris on my Facebook page is off the charts, today. I'd be fucking embarrassed if my team ever won on opening night like that. You won because of two missed field goals, a bonehead play by DHB in the end zone, an absolute bullshit PI call right out of the Ravens playbook, a lucky bounce off of a fumble, and Tomlin having to listen to Scott Zolak screaming in his ear half the night. That's what the fucking Super Bowl champs need on opening night. You're shit organization with shit players, shit coaches, shit owners, and most of all, shit fans. I hope you all get AIDS and fucking die.

Re: NFL Week 1
I believe the Patriots won because they scored more points than the Steelers, but I'll defer to you all.
Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

Not gonna lie, my increasing NFL ambivalence feels freeing. I'll have the games on all day but I don't feel I have to be glued to them. I can do stuff around the house, yard, etc.

So I assume there are some nerdpieces out there about when it's better to go for 2 under the new PAT rules?
