Maybe so, but it's still a refuse-able penalty if the offense wants to take any yardage gained...

No question, but yardage will be more difficult to gain with 12 men on the field. And the bigger issue is all the time that is ticking off the clock with 12 men on defense.

This may be one instance where the HS rules are actually better. In the HS game it's illegal substitution (5 yards) if the 12-men is called before/at the snap (no one is making an effort to get off the field), and illegal participation (15 yards) if it's a live ball foul....
One of the things I hate about Sports is how the fans and some sports writers liked to stir things up after a win. It's just a game. Having losing fans call in like they just lost a loved one or something. After the game I told my son I was disappointed but ok. He said he was glad they got as far as they did and was looking forward to next year. If you listen to some of the callers calling in to Boston Radio you wonder if any of them beat their wives last night , or the kids. Some take Sports so seriously it's scary. Everyone will tell you that you need skill but also luck to get to a Superbowl and also to win.
Look at this year and see how many teams didn't get very far. The Packers really surprised me. But I will be watching the Patriots again next year.
My sons wore Patriots Jerseys back in 2008 and we went to a Theme Park. We had several people yell to them saying things like "cheaters" and much more then I can repeat here. I finally had it and went up to one of them and asked them why they thought they needed to say things to a 6 year old and 10 year old boy. I told him that they had nothing to do with how the team played and was coached . He was a Dolphins fan so I guess I can understand his bitterness but it's ridiculous to see adults act this way.

College football is worse. You should hear all the gloom and doom talk in Baton Rouge, and after a near perfect season. It's even worse in Alabama, where they actually do beat their wives, shoot their neighbors, kill 100 year old oaks, teabag on camera, etc...and that's when they win!

I told my wife not to get her hopes up next year about the Patriots until they make it through free agency. They have some big holes and big names to pay. Same goes for every team really.
Actual ratings now in, it was the most watched telecast in US history besting last years Super Bowl (which beat the Super Bowl the year prior, which beat the MASH finale) with an average of 111.3m viewers.
For anyone who needs a recap...

Hey now, that is a TOTAL lie! The oak tree thing happened after a loss........College football is worse. You should hear all the gloom and doom talk in Baton Rouge, and after a near perfect season.

Got me there.Hey now, that is a TOTAL lie! The oak tree thing happened after a loss........
Those odds are intended to steer money one direction or another, rather than predict the outcome of the next Super Bowl, as are all sports betting odds.
You can bet they'll be licking their chops when they post the safety prop bet next year.

But remember the game can't end on a defensive penalty, so eventually they have to stop.

But everything else is ok.

Technically, I think they got the rule wrong, the penalty is one that happens Before the snap, therefore the clock should be reset.
I would expect the NFL to change this rule to make it that way.

You never know. Belichick has gone for the diva type receiver in the recent past (Moss, Ochocinco and he was reportedly interested in T.O. a couple of years ago).
Congrats to the never-say-die Giants.
Unlike 4 years ago, I'm gonna be a lot nicer and less caustic to them as they try to defend their title. Learned my lesson there.

Good man, they've earned everyone's respect!
They actually remind me of the 2004-2008 era Red Sox.
