not enough Option in the NFL, imo. I hate the quick throw to the flat after snap, which happens at least 5x per quarter, every game. Why not just run the Option instead?

well, you're an nfc guy, i'm a pats fan. therefore, anytime the steelers or colts or jets lose, it's sweet. oh, and the chargers, love seeing cali folk eating it.

if you're talking about the "unnecessary roughness" penalty, yes, thats ludicrous. the league gotta fix this mess they made. too many fines/penalties for hits that are perfectly legit.

That's exactly what I'm talking about. At least they came back and hit the Steeler's hard enough for them to lose possession. Bastards.

Is it just me, or does anyone else feel like they solidly know that you cannot call consecutive time outs one play after the other, and you know it better than any of the players on the field (I.E. - Eli Manning).
