How to Steal 3 Points from the Eagles

Its part of the game get over it...

icing the kicker is one thing, but calling timeout as the snap goes (and telling the ref to call timeout as it is snapped) is something else.

If it leads to a rule change then thats fine by me because I do not like the rule but all coaches have tried to ice a kicker before. He just realy timed his very well as he still had to call the timeout himself and I guess thats what people are getting on him for. Now if the kicker would have missed the first then nailed the second then we would not even be talking about this.

i thought they implemented a rule about that about icing the kicker or atleast thinking about it

Ask Andy Reid how effective "Icing the kicker" is today! LOL.....that was awesome.

Again, Shanahan did not ice the kicker. He made the kicker rekick a 52 yard kick after the team thought they had just won the game. Sure, Shank could have missed it, but how can you claim it wasn't a competitive advantage when it took 3 points and a "W" off the board? The NFL needs to put a stop to this immediately. I won't stand for this happening to our team and, as said, we have too much class to pull that crap on the field ourselves.

Well it was done to us so we just sent the O back out and went for the TD instead of the FG.

I'm not even sure if he was icing the kicker, maybe there was a personnel problem like we had. The kick wasn't long at all maybe 37 yards at the most.

Afterward, Reid said he called the time-out to make sure he had the right players on the field, adding that he believed the Eagles had only 10 players.

There you go, I was right he wasn't trying to ice Suisham. Pointless Suisham is too good anyway

Yeah, it definitely sucks for the Raiders the way they lost that game. I would like to see a rule change that says you can't call timeout with less than 10 on the play clock unless your on offense. There's probably some flaws with that idea but it would work.

The current rule already states that a timeout can not be granted after the snap. That's good enough for me as long as the officials have the balls to administer it.

What a lack of vision!!!!! The only thing you can think of is stealing a lousy 3 points from the Eagles? Why stop at 3 points and try and throw the game for the Skins. Just do a "Kerrigan". It was perfected right here in Detroit. Just get a guy or two in Philly cop uniforms to get on the sidelines or in the tunnel for pregame warmups and whack MCNabb in the knee a dozen times with their nightsticks. Job done. Philly will tank and it will be between us and the Cowboys for the NFC East and probably the Conference.

Thats a good point but maybe as he is getting out of his car. If you wait until he is in the tunnel he would be surrounded by 40 some guys in pads and weighing between 190 to 340 pounds wanting to kill ya.

Yeah but he might not be with the entire team for say pregame warmups and it would be a hit and run like kerrigan was. Plus if you are packing are they really going to try anything?

New Rule, if you don't call time out 6 seconds before the ball is snapped during a field goal attempt by the opposing team you're penalized 5 yards and the other team is given the chance to re-kick.

Note: This rule applies only if the field goal ends the game.
