I don't root for injuries, but Greg Hardy is way up there of players I wouldn't feel exactly sorry for, should that be something besides missing a series or two.

Right, but the only way I can interpret the rule is that the act of calling the second timeout is the penalty---the rule makes no sense if it is that it has to be 'granted' in order to generate the penalty, does it? That says you can get the benefit of a TO (clock stops, can swap players out, get a break) you just pay yards to get it. Pretty sure that is not the rule.
Maybe I'm missing something, but seems like they should have assessed the penalty as soon as someone from Seattle asked for the TO.
Garrett should have (and may have) asked for a booth review of number of players on field when it was stopped.
There are two things happening every game and every week that make me commiserate with fans of every team - head/neck injuries and the absolute clownshoes performance art that is officiating in today's NFL.Bosoxen said:
And as I type Ricardo Lockette is knocked out cold.
Oh shit Lockette.
Ya know I get the players wanting to support him but really back away a few yards and give the medics some room.

You know what, I'll put him right at the top of that list. I'll listen to others being suggested, but he's the odds on favorite.DanoooME said:
Edit: just saw the Lockett thing. Awful.
The carnage today is awesome, meanwhile, thank the lord, unless one of our Pats trips over their kids candy, we have no additional injuries to contemplate atm
I vaguely remember hearing something about a lot of recent turnover.Jnai said:
Still don't understand why they don't make officiating a full time job.
I love how players are getting carted off the field every five minutes while the league is busy making sure Patriots employees have the proper credentials.
Pereira again saying refs screwed up the call....just because the guy is hurt doesn't mean it is a penalty.
Pereira is so much better than Mike Carey...and many of the guys actually doing the job on the field are somewhere at or below Carey's level.

There was nothing illegal about that block. It was just unfortunate.
It looked like Lockette either slipped or pulled something trying to get away from the blockers and then looked up and tried to react to the Cowboys' player coming straight at him.

So I have a question...is there a trustworthy Internet site out there where I can watch the Packers/Broncoes game?
