Can’t believe they haven’t gigged the Vols on the PAT injury bit. Happened vs Arky, and I told the room which lineman would go down injured before the snap.

only happens if the player goes down after the ball is set by the refs for the next play.

considering its a PAT, we are pretty safe on this iteration of the rule.

Still should be illegal. Hope the league addresses this.

Obviously, you’re not a fan of the Vols.

It pretty much sucks no matter which team is doing it, even my own.

Only for 55 years. Just not a fan of fake injuries. But I assume you are. It is ridiculous.

And what does calling out flaws in the game have to do with being a fan? Just irrelevant and irrational.

Once the ball is set, I don’t understand why the sideline doesn’t call time out, they are going to be charged with one or given a penalty or both.

Part of the problem with the way the Vols are utilizing the PAT injury, is that everyone benefits. TV gets an extra commercial, the refs get a break, the opposing team’s offense gets a full break as well as our defense gets a full break.
These injuries only occur when we’ve scored quickly to give our defense a full break to prepare for the next series. When there would not be a TV timeout.

I’m taking it personal that you told him not to take it personal. Personally I’m offended

Personally, I'm offended you're personally offended that you took it personal that he said not to take it personal. (Did I say that right?)

Anytime there’s a quick score, we always take bets about who the injured OL on the XP will be. It’s almost always the RG or RT

Any sport that has natural dead balls should just play on when an “injury” occurs. That would end it.

If it’s MMA or boxing let the ref stop it, but otherwise, you should treat flopping the same way as when 3 year old tantrums: first ignore, then warn, then a penalty.

Also, teams have to get their injured players off the field on a clock unless it’s clearly spine related.
