Jets accused of cheating I am sure tons of people just heard about this on TV - apparently we were illegally simulating the snap count, so does that mean the d-linemen were yelling "hut hut" before the snap? http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d80272abd&template=with-video&confirm=true
Escaping with a 7 point win because the other team has a really, really shitty receiver in the line up is domination? Granted they out played the Jets for 3 quarters, but the Jets did own the 4th.
Thats not so much cheating, as it is a penalty. I saw it called in an NCAA game on Saturday, the ref called it disconcerting offensive signals i believe. So its not cheating in the sense that the Pats were cheating, its cheating in the sense that a false start that doesn't get called by the refs is cheating.
You guys are really reaching trying to relate Belichick to Billick. Is this what the NFL is coming to? Dungy submits video to the league because he feels Freeney was held too much. Billick complains that the Jets tried to induce false starts. This really sucks. Can we go back to just playing football, and all the sissy coaches stop the "i'm gonna tell daddy" bit? I'm not laying this on Mangini, but who ever heard of this bogus BS before? WTF is happening to my beloved NFL? I think Mangini, Dungy, and Billick should all STFU and just play ball. Noone wants to hear this crying.
Now that I think of it...there was a theory that Mangini pissed off some other coaches over the cameragate thing. I'm not sure I buy into it, but it'll be interesting to see if the Jets draw any more complaints in the coming weeks.
Well I'd throw Billick in the category of a guy that would "bend" the rules to his advantage. I'm not sure he is on the same level as Chicken but I'd be willing to wager he along with Shanahan are certainly a guys that I could see using the video tape routine. As far as Billick's whining; I saw his press conference and it sounded as if he was making it up. It was a weaselly way of saying we didn't deserve to win but since we barely held on it's because they broke the rules. He didn't even have his shit together when he said it. It was actually really whiny. IMO if this is being done it's something he needs to address with the NFL Officiating not a press conference after you barely win. Forget the fact that over the last 8 or so years the Jets have been near the bottom of the league in fewest penalties commited. That might explain the discrepency.
Exactly... It's cheating just as much as holding is cheating if it doesn't get called, or bumping a WR beyond 5 yards is cheating.... A penalty like that, if serious enough to affect the game, would either be recognized by a referee, or pointed out by someone on the opposing team.. Simple as that....
That's nothing new.... Every Monday, coaches send tape to the league with any calls or non-calls they found objectionable during the previous day's game..
I have to back Pat Nation here, he doesn't bash the Jets on mindless threads, usually he is informed and fair........ I suspect with a touch of smugness but until we get a "smugness man" he will continue to abuse the laughing man.
What kind of penalty could we get for this, a draft pick, cash, cash, cash or some more cash?ats_suck: :finssuck: :drunk:
Please, Thats vintage Billick who's crying because his team was penalized 5 times as much as the Jets and he's trying to set the ref's up for coming games..In the middle of a game before the snap there's alot of shouting and screaming from LB's calling formations and strong side info, Safeties checking in and out of coverages, O-line calling out blocking schemes, QB's changing plays..That's poor coaching on Billick's part if his team has like what 11-12 penalties. again..please
The same penalty you get when you hold and don't get called for it. Nothing. I can't believe this bs is a news story.
Can someone explain this?...How do u "illegally" simulate a snap count? What advantage does it have? Offsides penalties?
I think it's just yelling hike or hut which ever one the QB says to hike it. Offsides or fumbling the snap.
