Do you remember Taylor Decker's first year? This was a sudden entrance, ice cold, in front of a hostile, loud crowd and national audience against a good D line. Let's pump the brakes on the "he sucks" stuff

You may be right (about where we're at now) but I hope not and disagree that it's the way we should do it (Lance Armstrong and Barry Bonds used those arguments). You're wrong that it's completely different from TCUN, though. It's not nearly as egregious but really just a matter of degree.
Comment 15 Oct 2024
They would have. This hypothetical shows the point many are missing: it is unsportsmanlike conduct to intentionally put in too many players. If it's only 1 extra player, you can't tell if it was accidental or purposeful, though so you can get away with just a 5 yard penalty.
Comment 15 Oct 2024
Not apples and oranges at all. Only difference is the degree (a player gets hurt). But same arguments apply so... Buddy Ryan was a genius.
Comment 15 Oct 2024
The difference is in the intent, or more specifically, the ability of the officials to determine it. If you intentionally grab the guy to stop a TD, the officials know that. If they could know the coach intentionally put in an extra player, the penalty would be unsportsmanlike conduct. They're having the same type of problem with faking injuries, which this situation is analogous to.

1. It's not within the rules if you do it intentionally, which is what Lanning did, apparently. 2. There's a difference between getting away with something and doing it legally. 3. If not being willing to lie or cheat is being too vanilla, give me a big scoop.
Comment 15 Oct 2024
The difference is that, if you intentionally do what Lanning did, it's unsportsmanlike conduct. Unlike your other scenarios, where the intent is clear and this, the appropriate penalty called. What Lanning did is like faking injuries, and other deceitful acts, where the Refs can't tell if it was purposeful.

This.
Comment 15 Oct 2024
Exactly. Bengals fans did same with Zac Taylor last week for calling 3 running plays in FG range. 20/20 hindsight never fails.
Comment 15 Oct 2024
You would if the officials knew you put the 12th player in intentionally. The problem is they don't know that. So, if you're willing to be deceitful, you can profit by purposely violating the rule. Some call that gamesmanship and good coaching.
Comment 14 Oct 2024
True, but we still could have won if we had that four seconds back.
Comment 14 Oct 2024
I'd agree if the one putting too many players in on purpose admitted they did it intentionally but they wont because they he might be admitting to unsportsmanlike conduct. Just like with faking injuries, if it's legal within the rules you don't have a problem admitting to doing it. Playing the infield back is different. Oregon put in an extra fielder.
Comment 14 Oct 2024
Disagree. As set out in the article, it should be unsportsmanlike conduct if Lanning did it intentionally. Purposely violating a rule to gain an advantage is dishonest, not gamesmanship. Just because you get away with it (because it's hard to determine whether it was intentional or accidental) doesn't change that.
Comment 14 Oct 2024
It's cheating. If they intentionally did it to eat up time, that's unsportsmanlike conduct. Just like the blatant holding example and what Ole Miss and others do by faking injury to rest their defense. The problem is it's hard to know what their intent is at the time.
Comment 13 Oct 2024
It's unsportsmanlike conduct to intentionally violate the rule to gain an advantage.
Comment 13 Oct 2024
Just a guess but maybe the officials would say Q lost possession and no one had possession again until Harmon. Both players having hands on it doesn't equal simultaneous possession?
Comment 13 Oct 2024
If McGrind is right above, if post snap, it should have been a 15 yard penalty. Or if pre snap, time doesn't run. Weird that having a penalty for too many players can help a team.
Comment 13 Oct 2024
This is a question that I had. Would like to hear an official answer because it seems like we should have had 4 seconds put back in the clock at least.
Comment 13 Oct 2024
Nah. They played great and won but they're not better.

Brad nessler didn't approve of Franklin's " fuckin awsum" to the kicker

Allar is much better this year. Not so much a deer in the headlights

Hell of a drive and comeback by the Nits

Nvm. I see Indiana won at UCLA. So 1-10.
Comment 12 Oct 2024
That may be on the W R's more than Allar

Have any east teams won on the west coast?
