Flags and Commercials

The way to do it is have all your receivers run straight for the nearest defender until they make contact with the opposing player - 5 yard illegal contact - first down.

Belicheck and Brady are surely working on a means to exploit this.
Because Brady can't run around, since he has zero mobility, so they'll have to be more creative in getting those flags.
(Only half-joking about this)

I understand why people are upset about this (especially with our tradition of defense), but I think this actually helps the Ravens more than hurts them. Good luck to opposing secondaries being able to contain the Smiths and Jones without some contact/holding.

Guess we are back 2 watching for the flags at games. A 3rd and 17 stop by the D will have everyone looking for a flag. It calmed down over the years but guess now will need to start looking for a flag after each 3rd down stop again. Or if you want conspiracy its another Peyton Manning rule to get him a championship before retiring.

Guess the refs in the Bengal games are different from the rest. Pretty bad when the announcers point out penalties but the refs don't call it. Bet the NFl hears about it tomorrow from the rest of the teams.
