ESPN Rules Analyst a former ref and ref supervisor says that there's nothing in the rule book that says that a defense needs to be given time to determine who's eligible after declaring who's ineligible.
It's pretty genius. Up til now, it's always sending out a lineman and declaring them eligible. Nobody thought about doing the opposite. Harbaugh could have easily called a TO and tell his guys to watch it but he didn't. He was outcoached
Also, Alabama used the exact same '4 lineman' trick play against LSU this year:

So for John Harbaugh to call the trick play 'deceptive' is fucking retarded, it's not even a new play (I'm guessing Belichick learned the play from his buddy Saban). Also, football is all about deception. I guess we should get rid of quarterback sneaks, play action, or that play where edelman threw a pass to amendola because we never expect wide receivers to throw passes. John Harbaugh needs to learn how to lose with grace.
A few more picked up flags that go Dallas' way and maybe they'll win the Super Bowl. At least I'm hoping so, any way they get there. That way the Cowboys can tie the Steelers record of 6 Super Bowl wins. Don't tell me, Anand forums are predominantly anti Dallas Cowboys and this post will get piled on.
There's a reason Buffalo wanted Rex, he's stifled Brady more than any other coach and he always got his guys to battle for him. Let's face it, Geno Smith will never be a QB that will win you a division nor was Mark Sanchez. At the end of the day I wound up liking Rex even though I'm a Pat's fan. Rex is not afraid to speak his mind and is 2000% more entertaining than the dour BB, I think he will do well in Buffalo.
and they have the defensive players to play rex style of ball. They should have a top 5 defense next year just watch. Rex gets guys to play hard like butch said and has a way of scheming against Belicheckout like few can.
Offensively they have a lot of work and the Watkins trade is gonna hurt them this year. Their defensive line though can maul an Oline like few can. Their rotation is very good too.
I have nothing against the Cowboys, the hate started years ago when the media coined them "America's team" after the 'boys won multiple SB's under JJ. I do feel that Detroit didn't get a fair chance in the game last week though, yea, some calls are going to go against you but for a Ref to pick up a PI flag when it was in fact PI makes me wonder if everything is on the up and up.

Wasn't a few years, it was decades ago. They were coined that by the NFL in 1978, JJ didn't buy the team until 1989.

Jesus, Rodgers is about at 20% for mobility. We have no chance outside of Romo choking. It is an utter shame. That offense was a well-oiled machine all year and our star gets injured right before the playoffs start.
Worst of all, there are no teams left for me to cheer for. Baltimore was the only other one I liked and they lost. I despise all the remaining 3 teams left but especially the Patriots. I can't see any of them competing that well in the Super Bowl.
dear god, from almost a TD run to turning it over...comeon.
