Point is people that it was within the rules... period.

LOL... not to mention the lateral/ pass TD play.

What do you mean?

A college QB isn't allowed to play WR and throw td's in the NFL

Very deceptive.

How the fuck could any Browns fan respect the Ratbirds is beyond me.

cause they have two more SB's than us. They are perennially at the top of the AFC North and perennially have one of the best defense's in all the NFL. They lose their star RB at the beginning of the season and then have an OL capable of turning a 7 year journeyman into the best avg YPC RB in the NFL. There's a litany of reasons to respect both the Steelers and Ravens while also a litany of reasons to hate them. Like I said it was hard to watch that game last night cause I can't stand either team, but I'd take NE's 3 SB's since 99 over the Browns 30+ starting QB's over the same period. You can hate a team but still acknowledge there's some things they do on the field that maybe you'd like to see your own team emulate. Especially when we're talking about multiple SB winners to our..........how many have we won I forget?

Like shannahan not know ing that trick play with manziel would be called.

The refs knew which player was eligible, but the Pats would get to the line and hurry up before the Ravens figured it out. There might be a rule change to help prevent that next year.

Also, if this happened to us in a game, EVERYONE would be here bitching.

Don't know about no substitutions but I know Brady is a whining little huure of a man. Dude got mad at guys for doing nothing but daring to lay hands on him. I've never seen a bigger bitch of an NFL player. A ravens lineman literally did nothing but tackle him and he started bitch slapping him in the thigh for it. When I first saw Brady getting hot I figured some ratbird was checking his oil or something at the bottom of the pile, something to make a man cry like that....but no, replay after replay showed Brady just getting butthurt about landing on the ground. Was a tough game to watch cause I hate both teams. But I think I respect the Ravens more.

Take Brady next year no questions asked

Smart... Will likely end up being ended by a new rule where declaration has to be made going into the huddle as is the case for eligibles, but for now... smart.

This is exactly how I feel. You guys I think are missing what Harbaugh is saying. From what I heard he said the Patriots were being deceptive in the formations. I agree with him that the rule should allow the defense a few moments to adjust when a player reports as eligible/ineligible . It sounds like the refs told him as much too but were confused themselves on the play. I hate the Ravens but I hate the Patriots just as much so the game much like last week was tough to watch haha.

It might be legal but it is also damn sure not kosher. It smacks of downright trickery as in legal, but shady as hell. It stretches the rules of the game in a shoddy way in my opinion.
