@@Stinky_Steven Check out as much from that 1991 season as you can. Mark Rypien was sacked 9 times all year! They tore it up. It was one of those years that by week 10 you knew who the Superbowl champ was going to be, and I am not even a Redskins fan.
Sydney Mabry The only way to waste timeouts in the last seconds of a half is to not use them at all. As a Bama fan, I have to agree that he would’ve most likely missed it anyway, though. Fortunately, it doesn’t usually matter too much against opponents like Tennessee.
I've never understood why the double timeout rule even existed. Yeah if, in the worst case scenario, all 6 timeouts (both teams) happened at once, it would take a long time, but teams don't have more after that. It's not like the game overall would take longer. It would just be a mini-halftime during the half, instead of several micro-halftimes.
Vincent Killion I think it’s beacuse the fans watching may tune off of the game beacuse of the constent timeouts with no game. Also cause advertisers may want ads spread through the game. The rule is prob for the business side of the game not the practical use
While this is a situation that would rarely ever come up because of the fact that teams only have three timeouts per half it does have both practical and broadcasting purposes.
@@Rowgue51 The OP was saying 3 TO's called by 1 team and 3 called by the other team. So without the rule it could be possible to see 6 To's in a row. I don't think fanns would tune out though. Because any situation critical enough to NEED 6 To's in a row would have to be leading into a GAME DECIDING play, right? A VERY important play. What you also have to remember is that Football has a DELAY OF GAME penalty... (so does basketball but it rarely comes up and when it does most Fans, Announcers, Players and Coaches do not understand what is going on... because really almost NOBODY actually understands the rules of basketball except the Best Referees. For example did you even know Basketball has rules on Delay of Game... probably not)... ANYWAYS... To have so many TO's called in a row in Football would more or less violate the DELAY OF GAME rules... which BTW is a 5 Yard Penalty. So it seems to me the NFL just realized they had NOT been enforcing a rule they already had all along.
@@brucemercer7753 The delay of game rule in basketball isn't a secret. You used to see it all the time. They just stopped calling it like they did with palming,traveling and just about everything else in basketball.
@@QwertyCaesar I'd believe that the most for bad weather games. The icing the Raiders did on the Patriots in the championship game gave the team time to make a free spot for Adam Vinataeri in the snow.
But this rule has only been enacted on the defense. Why would you give a delay of game to the offense when the defense used the double timeout to prevent a delay of game or ice the kicker?
I'm surprised you didn't mention that the Redskins game you talked about was the first game the Redskins played at home after Sean Taylor was killed. So they lose a game they were probably trying to win for Sean possibly due to this penalty.
Andrew Brennan. I’m a Bills fan. I couldn’t believe JOE GIBBS did that. (The man had been coaching forevvvvvver). I was very happy when it happened. You are correct. When Gibbs was asked about the timeout in his post-game press conference, he stated that he basically had just had a brain lock. He totally forgot that he had already called a timeout to ice Lindell, and thought he had to ice the kicker.
The worst part of that Redskins-Bills game had to be that... Rian Lindell was known for not having a heck of a lot of range. I think we had some of the worst touchback percentages in the league with him, though Carpenter ended up being not much better, and the accuracy went to hell outside about 45 with him. So to make it from a 51 to a 36 yarder (he had sniper accuracy inside 40) had to be the difference.
More likely than not, If it seemed intention on the refs part then they would be immediately pulled from reffing any games, and given a fine by the officiating board. It's not really a good idea for them, and double time outs happen very rarely. The coach would have to bribe the ref, then hope that the other team calls a double time out just to get that to happen.
@@Twl0802 More like an opportunistic move. The coach asks for a second timeout. Ref likes him he refuses the timeout. Ref hates him he gives the timeout and later goes "Oh I shouldn't have, you get yards penalty".
I went to a Huskies Ducks game where Chip Kelly used all three timeouts before the half to ice the kicker. I guess college has a different stance on pace of play.
Was that in November 2011? I remember something like that happening on the same day as the "Game of the Century" between Alabama and LSU, but maybe that's just me.
That's a perfectly reasonable rule. Being a ref (at least most positions of ref) requires laser focus, especially in the seconds before the snap. And with all those late time outs coming in, there is a serious issue about reacting to them quickly (otherwise you get a snap with one team playing and the other team not playing, which is a huge injury risk). So take your pick: do you want coaches and player having the chance to call a time out half a second before the play clock runs out and them reacting fast enough or do you want them to ponder whether a time out is legitimate first? It happens. So the people to blame are the ones that try to do something they aren't allowed to. Ignorance doesn't protect from punishment.
Yoooo this just happened at the end of tnf week 2 2019. The Panthers were 4th and 2 at the 3 with a minute left down 6 and they got half the distance when Bruce Arians called a second timeout. They then ran wildcat for McCaffrey and were just short, sadly ending the game
@@ryneprince7113 No he's def correct, Panthers fan here, and I scrolled down to the comments to see if I found any mention of that game. That was how I learned that the 2 consecutive timeout rule is a thing...when it happened I was thinking yoooo what a godsend!!! But then we lost anyway wtf 😂
Pete Carroll didn't "break the rules", he asked for the time out, not forced them to give a timeout. They are the ones enforcing the rules and if they gave it the mistake is theirs.
Why are back to back timeouts even illegal to begin with? You only get three, it seems that the fact that you've burned through them that quickly is enough of a penalty.
This rule just leaves room for exploitation. (using your example) if a kicker gets iced once and then the call comes in for another time out and the ref ignores it all is good, but if the ref KNOWS its against the rules and just wants to punish you they can "forget" about the rule and then 5 seconds later just say.. 'oh never mind 15 yard penalty'. Am I missing something here? I don't watch sports (find this channel just interesting for videos like this) but is it not common practice to get refs that just *know* the rules so stuff like this doesn't happen?
Fun fact (its not actually Fun) that bills-Redskins game was the first game after the death of Sean Taylor, and the Redskins blew that game with that peaty.........
Jacob Kelly to make it more fair for the keeper. It allows them to know when the shot is coming and start moving before it happens. Otherwise it would be way to easy to score using trickery and waiting for the keeper to react.
Saying Pete Carroll *didn't* know what he was doing when it comes to the rules, is like saying Bill Belichick doesn't know the rules. Those two know the rules better than the people that wrote them.
I've been watching the rugby world cup. It's depressing how much more fast paced and action packed a rugby game is compared to the NFL. I don't really watch either sport much, but as a casual observer, NFL is slow as molasses. Even CFL has more action with only three downs (more passing attempts) and a wider field + bigger endzone. NFL highlights are spectacular but actual gameplay is like watching paint dry.
Shouldn't be the attempt to call consecutive timeouts be a penalty? In basketball, if you call an illegal timeout, one where you don't have any left, you get a tech and a turnover.
Also, this leaves open the opportunity where a ref can purposely choose to allow the 2nd timeout so they can "realize they shouldn't have allowed it" in order try to affect the outcome of the game or just be vindictive against a coach they don't like.
@@elwinransom7555 Yeah, making a penalty mandatory on an illegal timeout attempt will remove all the subjectivity and options for the ref and make it much more fair.
No judge is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes and everyone is subject to mental heuristics. The refs are overseeing a lot of things, so it's not surprising to me that one might occasionally react using system 1 thought to approve a timeout which seems right on the surface. Carroll knows this and took advantage of the ref. It's pretty fundamentally crooked, if you think about it, and the fact that there are people who leverage heuristics that way, followed by the refs getting blamed, is a damning indictment of our society.
