vmax Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 PHOENIX — NFL officials are now making up new signals on the fly.Head coach Pete Carroll said Thursday at the Seattle Seahawks’ team hotel that officials will use a signal to identify which New England Patriots players are ineligible in Super Bowl XLIX. The signal will look like one used by officials for a missed extra-point. Officials previously announced which player was ineligible, just as they do when offensive linemen are declared eligible.The Patriots began using eligible players as offensive linemen in their divisional-round win over the Baltimore Ravens this season. Ravens head coach John Harbaugh made a stink that officials weren’t giving his team enough time to realign after finding out which player was ineligible.The Patriots made running back Shane Vereen ineligible twice and tight end Michael Hoomanawanui once in a third-quarter drive. The Patriots drove down the field and cut the Ravens’ lead from 14 points to seven.http://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/nfl-to-assist-seahawks-in-iding-pats-ineligible-receiver-sets/ar-AA8Kcb4?ocid=iehp fuckers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cravnravn Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 The more I think about it, what bullshit from the Pats. What they did was illegal. They should be held accountable, not have a rule modified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsylvester Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Yeah, how dare players and coaches on defense pay attention to the officials when they make announcements. I was taught in high school to pay attention to who was or was not eligable....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spen Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Weird, I'd figure they would do something after the season - not before the Super Bowl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
