<![CDATA[NFL Rules Patriot's formation illegal]]>The NFL ruled that the formation the Patriots used against Baltimore in the playoff was illegal. Remember? The Ravens were ahead by two touchdowns when Shane Vereen who became ineligible lined up as a slot receiver on three occasions. The Ravens defense was confused and Harbaugh should have called a timeout to discuss it with the official. I watched that game and clearly Harbaugh blew it by not taking a timeout. They might have won if he did.

So now if an ineligible receiver lines up outside the tackle box it will be a five yard penalty. I read this on ESPN.

I'll bet this makes the Ravens feel better about the loss. It just goes to show you how far Belicheck and company will go to win.

Why is the formation ruled illegal today? Was it not illegal two months ago?

It wasn't. One answer... covers both questions.

yeah, owning a NFL team really sucks.

robert kraft is laughing all the way to the bank while he steps on all the little people who dare question him or his team.

Good change for once by the NFL.

Why is the formation ruled illegal today? Was it not illegal two months ago? Patriots play in a perennial lousy division and still need help to win their division? Spy-Gate, Deflate-gate, Shane Vereen becoming ineligible but lines up outside the tackle box- three times! Patriots go on to win Super Bowl.

I'm waiting for Mr. Wells to finish his exhaustive investigation into under inflated footballs. By now, he could have found Amelia Earhart!

But Roger Goodell emphasized today that the Falcons and Browns had broken the rules and must be punished accordingly even though the texts didn't change the outcome of any games. The Browns will probably lose a fourth round pick while the Patriots will be exonerated you watch.

They make rules changes all the time. They paid for Spygate and we'll have to wait and see on Deflategate

But if Harbaugh had called a timeout before the ball was snapped it might have changed the outcome of the game. His defense was confused and all he did was jump up and down yelling on the sidelines. So the Patriots used that formation two more times.

So now it will be a five yard penalty.
