Beli-Cheat Exploits Loophole...

...to burn time off the clock. He used intentional delay of game (long a strategy) and false start penalties to reduce the clock from 11 minutes to 9 minutes. Discuss....

Eh, I've been doing that in Madden for years. Old news, but yes, they should fix the issue.

Want to say that both the Jets and Pats were happy to let the clock run down in that game.

Everyone was. Assuming anyone was still watching after having bailed once they saw the Star Wars trailer at halftime.

[Chizzang]

the Patriots brought this up to the competition committee I think two years ago... maybe longer
Belichick has now forced the league to correct the flaw by exposing it in a game scenario

[89Hen]

Hardly cheating in this case.

[CAA Flagship]

Pfft. All they had to do was get the coaches to agree to shorten the game by 5 minutes.

[GannonFan]

Let's be honest, there should've been a rule in that game Monday night where they just went to a running clock - anything to end that train wreck of a game.

The Jets had no business on the field that night.Sports radio(NY) lambasted them for their poor performance.

Is it cheating if there's a flaw in the rule?

Nope. I hate the Pats and Belichick, but I smiled watching the video of him doing it. It was brilliant.

Is that in the rule book?

He loves sticking it to the Jets BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY!!!!!!!!

So watching Belichick cursing at the refs while the exact same thing was happening to him was 1,000,000,000x better than watching him do it a few weeks ago.

Yeah that was great.

I loved Vrabel's mannerisms during and after the game as well. He was so happy to rub Belicheat's nose in it.

That game had everything the dying empire despises...

a) critical self inflicted wounds on the games biggest plays
1) Edeleman drop on drive to end the drive 2) Lineman downfield on 45 yard completion

b) being out played by the other teams special teams / the Patriots ALWAYS win the special teams game
Not today they didn't

c) student rubbing masters nose in the masters loophole / classic

This game had everything

Not to mention Belichick having his hood up.

[Chizzang]

The NFL needed this to happen...
I'm a fan of the Patriots but I'm also a fan of the NFL and enjoy the league a lot

This needed to happen !

Not to mention Emperor Palpatine Belichick having his hood up.

[89Hen]

Some of our guys are too young to actually remember this one...
