charliechaplin 385 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Talking about the officiating Sat night vs HOU If this is the way they're gonna call all season its gonna be frustrating. New points of emphasis are overkill IMO.I know its not just that one crew or just the Falcons, its league wide. ATL had some picky calls against them, but then so did HOU, which worked to our benefitArcher was spot on when he said the fans were not gonna like these new POE's and that they take the fun out of watching the game. Not to mention how much it slows down the game.I hope they'll go back to letting them play full contact football!On another note....how about the extra yardage on the FGA's? I saw some misses, so it def affected the games Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HatedInRayJay1 222 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I was watching some game (I forget who) but it was **** near unwatchable with all the penalties. The extra points is tricky because what if a team needs to go for two? Do you make them go from the 15 yard line? That would be near impossible. Would have to completely change the way you go for two. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ssippifalcon 568 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I actually like the extra point rule Quote Link to post Share on other sites

freebird310 9,549 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I hate and despise all the new rules, Goodell, McKay and the entire competition committee ....they can all go straight to Hades IMHO .... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hjerry 26,682 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Penalties in preseason are always overkill, every year. That's the point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
charliechaplin 385 Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 I think if you declare a 2 point try it goes back to the old spot.I suppose I could be wrong, but that has actually never happened.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dirtybird56 5,386 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 They're just doing overkill on the points of emphasis to let the coaches know they're going to be stricter about it. I bet you Caroll is telling his guys to just play it cool cause by week 5 the refs won't be calling it any different than last year Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ATLFalcons11 4,675 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 A 2 point conversion goes back to the original spot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ATLFalcons11 4,675 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 And penalties are high every preseason. After the preseason ends the refs look at the penalties and have a meeting to discuss good calls and bad calls. Happens every year Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dominique is Manufique 638 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 how about the tackle we had on their qb that was called for a blow to the head. 1. the qb was out of the pocket and 2. he ducked at the point of the tackle. garbage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
