Definitely agree that the Defense needs to pay attention at all times. Taking plays off is as bush league as the fake spike. Maybe more so now because they've all seen it and know it's a possibility. That said, the D is also at a distinct disadvantage as alluded to by Annie's Boobs, because the refs are just…

That's a small taste of what it's like to be a Jets fan.

I'm pretty convinced at this point that you're (a) a troll and (b) can't read. Do note above that you and your little friend actually first called me an idiot, before I corrected each of you. The posts themselves contradict your (strange) little fantasy. Also, if you read (again, try hard) you'll see that others…

I think your feelings are hurt, that's all. Sorry I hurt your feelings.

Also, as with so many NFL rules, it is very difficult to find the history and background with respect to the evolution of the intentional grounding rule. As far as I can tell, there were changes in 1987 and 1993, but I can't find anything definitive. The NFL seems to be winning against the internets (or at least…

You have an unfortunate inability to think critically. Also, it wasn't too hard to call the other poster (and yourself) idiots. Easily stated fact.

You're a fucking moron. It's a rule designed to benefit the offense by allowing the QB to spike the ball without incurring a penalty. It is not a rule that should then be allowed to be exploited by the same beneficiaries at the expense of the defense. It's patently unfair. It's also pure bush league. Now go back…

Delighted as I am to see the Dolphins victimized, the fake spike is a chickenshit play and should receive an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.

POTVIN SUCKS

This isn't the website you're looking for.

They still need to get the ball in the Paint.

It's Tip O'Neill and he looks pretty good for being dead.

I like to think that he just wanted to run free.

Perfect.

"increasing apparent"?

He's right.
