Stoney's He-Man Steeler Haters NFL Playoff Thread ... No Yinzers allowed

Pretty much all the time, which drives me nuts.

It really doesn't take THAT much time to run the ball a few times en route to a scoring drive (runners go out of bounds, too). And in the second and third quarters, there should be ZERO urgency to give up on the run if you really count on it as a key part of your game plan.

 

There was some risk though, right? If it's a pick-"6", the packers get 2 points and sea has to kick off with GB up by 1

 

That's a college rule, not an NFL rule. In the NFL, I believe the play is dead once the ball is intercepted. I know the defense can't score off it.

 

Maybe Bob Kraft was tired and lightheaded from sucking the air out of so many footballs? [/crossthread]

 

Gotcha. Thanks.
