Subject: Are you kidding me the NFL wants to change rules for the Patriots again.
Depending on what NFL owners agree to at next week's league meetings, teams might be able to regain the services of a player who was seriously injured during the regular season, the trade deadline could be moved, overtime policies could become uniform and the penalty for having too many men on the field could be altered.

The NFL Competition Committee announced during a conference call Wednesday that it will introduce multiple rule changes and bylaw proposals to ownership next week in Palm Beach, Fla., including the following:

» Making the penalty for having too many men on the field a dead-ball foul. This stems from an incident that took place during the most recent Super Bowl. With the New York Giants' defense illegally having 12 men on the field, the New England Patriots ran a play and wound up losing valuable time, although they gained 5 yards. The new proposal would immediately stop the play and make it a 5-yard infraction.

» Making the playoff overtime rules, which give one team possession in overtime should the team that had the ball first kick a field goal, also apply during the regular season. Coaches would prefer a uniform approach to this so they can prepare the same way in the playoffs as they do during the regular season. The existing regular-season rule allows a team to win in sudden death, should it kick a field goal on the opening possession.

» Allowing a player who's seriously hurt after the first week of the season to be placed on injured reserve and return later that season. Teams tend to place a player with a significant injury sustained early in the season on IR to open a roster spot, ending the injured player's season. In this instance -- think Green Bay Packers running back Ryan Grant in 2010, when he hurt his foot -- a player who has been placed on IR could be designated to return in the future.

» Having replays viewed solely by the official in the booth, not the referee on the field. "This proposal will definitely spark some discussion," Rich McKay, president of the Atlanta Falcons and chairman of the committee, told The Associated Press about possibly taking away review responsibilities from the refs. "We developed our system based on the last time we had replay. That's how we developed the referee to be the decision maker."

» Automatically having turnovers reviewed.

Um 12 man is only flagged when the ball is snapped so how can you make it a dead ball penalty?

I dont think that has a lot to do with the Pats, I think it more has to do with the previous rule being stupid. Although the Pats are dirty cheaters so I see where you are going with this.

I dont see how they can make it a dead ball penalty when the ball has to be set and snapped.

If the offense goes into a hurry up offense without substituting, then the defense doesn't get any time to send in subs.

If the offense changes personnel then the ref has to give time to the defense to send substitutions on the field.

How does this help New England more than any other team in the NFL?

Oh, it doesn't. Moving on...

did you watch the superbowl, that penalty was at the end of the game under current rules the clock keeps running,so the giants took the penalty.

the patroits whined about the rule so now they want to change it.

Um... I've been watching the Colts get that exact penalty on teams for a long time.

Any team that runs the no-huddle a lot was hurt by the "substitution" rule, but they are now helped by this one.

are you talking about the semi huddle group cluster fck formation that they run?

so defenses cant tell if they are going to hurry up or change formations?

i like it...but seeing how Sith just doesn't get it at all, i supposed that's why he focuses on the Patriots.
though i do see it helping Manning more than any other team, especially the patriots...Manning get's the 12 man flags more than anyone that sneaky bastard!!! angry

with that Offense the Broncos have they are going to NEED him to catch D's with the 12 man flag more than he already does.

and Sith, why not point out the OMG Packer rule??? hypnotized

The new proposal would immediately stop the play and make it a 5-yard infraction.

Its only a play if the ball is snapped, so therefore they would rule the play dead if either team has 12 members on the feild when the ball is snapped. This way the clock stops immediately instead of the play being ran and eating up the clock.

Sorta like Encroachment causes the play to never begin but offsides allows the play to continue.
