^^^^ Funny :up: Especially the Cowboy's chiming in :yep:

Is that a common thing among the NFL fans-change club, when their team is bad in the season ?

As a European I stick with my team-whether they are in top or bottom.

Grossi (guy in the vid) is just having some fun :yep: He's a Packer through and through. There would be some fair weather fans, but most who love their teams, stick with them. May as well have a bit of fun with it.

Where's the thread at?

What a difference a few weeks make eh' nikimcbee :D:D

We're showing some life :yep: Two prime time wins. But expectations are still very measured.

I'm glad I left this in ^^^^ :yep::oops::oops::up:

The burning question is; will Taylor Swift be able to win the game for the Chiefs?

Bengals still alive in playoff chase. What’s their path to postseason?

"The Browns are 7-3 in the conference, and Pittsburgh is 6-5. The Bengals are still more likely to make the playoffs than the Steelers, according to both NFL.com
and ESPN playoff predictors, despite Pittsburgh sweeping them this season. The Steelers finish at Seattle and at Baltimore."

Yellow flag!

Some days ago I saw on the German channel RTL a football match from NFL.
There was given some yellow flag to some players.

There was however no penalty not what I could see.
Example:
A player(A) interrupt an another player(B) while he is running into position Player (A) is still on the field when the other has 2nd & 10.

Well, just so you know. The yellow flag being thrown during a play (penalty flag), in American football slang is known as; "Laundry on the field."

Not sure about your question without a replay, but sounds like a referee saw something he thought to be a violation of in-play rules; tossed the flag, but then
the field judge (guy with white hat), over-ruled and decided there actually was no penalty involved? Just guessing...

Thank you. What type of penalties can the judges give a player/team ?

The short answer is that almost all football game infractions involve a loss of yardage to the offender ranging from 5 yards to 15 yards but there is also "at the point of the foul" and "half the distance to the goal" penalties which might result in much more.

Sometimes it also includes a loss of a down, although usually the down is replayed which is why sometimes the penalty will be declined by the other team. If the offender is playing defense an automatic first down is often awarded to the other team along with the yardage penalty.

In rare cases the referees will eject a player from the game. Those situations usually involve fighting or some other really egregious behavior.

Thank you bweiss and August.

Have read some part here and there in this rulebook which bweiss provide to me. Puh it's a lot of paragraf to keep in mind, thank God I'm not a NFL referee remembering all these rules.

Markus

No problem, glad to help someone who's interested. Note of caution though, as remote as it may seem today. IMO the clock is ticking for the NFL,
as we know it at least, as in it's current form it is akin to the folks who made wooden wagon wheel spokes in the late 1800's.


Get ready for the the Masterbot Bowl, featuring the Chicago Cyborgs vs the Baltimore Bolts.
