All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

The idea was to get rid of the stuff that guys like TO, Randy Moss, and Joe Horn were doing not to penalize somebody for standing on the camera stand.
Just so we're all clear jumping into the stands, or dunking the football over the goal posts are both good but standing on the ***** camera stand, that's going over the line.
COMING SOON...

Don't forget spiking the football....that's okay too. Gronkowski does it all the time and sometimes does it right in front of the defensive players face.

Well. if you google the rule, you'll see that the Lambeau Leap and dunking over the Goal Post have been "grandfathered in" and, as a result, aren't flagged.
Not saying it isn't BS, but they are in fact grandfathered in in the rules.
Dont mind the spike or Lambeau leap or a player kneeling, hell didnt even mind when Timmy Dwight use to do the coconut drink celebration. When you jump on a camera stand or have to use a sharpie or pretend to wizz on a opponents goal post its overboard.

The issue I have withe the kneeling is that it is "going to the ground." I've discussed this before... They have flagged guys in the past who accidentally fall for "going to the ground." So, any form of "going to the ground" intentionally should certainly draw a flag, if falling on accident does.
Still don't have an issue with a guy taking a knee after a TD. If more then just the guy scoring did then sure toss the flag. I will never see how a guy taking a knee is obsessive celebrating.

Because, it clearly falls under "going to the ground."
Again, if they flag someone who was accidentally knocked to the ground for the penalty, why is it OK for someone to intentionally go to a knee?
Here's two shots from last year's Super Bowl
This was flagged
This was not
If the penalty is "going to the grond," then ALL instances of "going to the ground" should be flagged, especially if you're flagging guys who are inadvertandly knocked down.
Dude, relax I understand why its a penalty. Just think its F'n stupid if the player that scores does it alone.
I am relaxed. I'm just saying, if they penalize one, then they should penalize the other. In the instances given above, one was flagged, the other wasn't.
It's situations like that where you get the "referee's discretion" on whether or not something should be flagged. I think that the rule should be black and white, so that there is no "referee's discretion." It's "referee's discretion" that causes Stevie Johnson to not be flagged in Cincinnati for flashing a shirt, yet he is flagged in New England for it.
Not that I'm defending Stevie for either, as I thought both incidents were stupid. But it's a perfect example of inconsistency when one official determines that something is not "excessive," but another official determines that it is.
I agree on the flag it for all or dont flag it. JMO that the scoring player taking a knee isnt excessive to me.
It's not to me, either... But, when you're flagging guys for "going to the ground" when they get knocked over (and falling accidentally) you have to flag when a player goes to the ground intentionally, regardless of how they are going to the ground. That's all I'm saying.

That's because they don't want to start trouble with the religious people and piss off the Christians/Catholics.
The best way to avoid the confusion and controversy, as well as the chance of taking a bad penalty, is to hand the ball to the official and get off the field. It's the classiest way to go, too.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
