When a team is rewarded for its penalty

[MadJack]

Another thing that pisses me off and a rule change is needed.

FALSE START

How many times does a team miss their 4th down attempt to the “line to gain” (a rant for another thread), lose the 5 yards because of the penalty, THEN make their 1st down? Pisses me off. That situation NEVER GOES MY WAY.

Yesterday, the Cards missed their FG that would have covered the spread for them. Then they lost their 5 yards and MADE the FG covering the spread for them handing me the LOSS!

If the refs don’t stop the play in time or throw a late flag for FALSE START the defense should have the opportunity to refuse the penalty.

I get fucked again! This needs to be changed.

I’ve never seen so many crazy ways to lose as a Game like this year. It will drive you Fricken insane. Gross.

you mean, like having the over last night and watching the refs COMPLETELY fuck the bears by blowing the play dead when they scored a td? and seeing the game end up 3 points under the total?

yup, it's been insane.

It happened in the Houston/Carolina game yesterday. Carolina made the game winning FG. Game over, or you thought. Houston had jumped off sides. Carolina should have the right to refuse the penalty and they game is over. No. The refs made them retry the kick, which he made again. Can you imagine if the kicker had missed the second FG? Complete BS!
