If they can't get the play off in time, they'll call a timeout so they don't get a penalty, if it's the end of the game and they are trying to rush down the field for one last score, they call a time out to stop the clock so they can get set up for the next play and not waste game time. If they don't have time to get the field goal unit out on the field, they'll call a time out to stop the clock. If the coach doesn't like what he sees, he'll call a time out. So LOTS of reasons it is used, these are just some that came to mind. Managing the game clock is a very important part of this game. I hope that helps. Do you watch American football?

You can call me HRMG for short Zomby. I know it's quite a long name, but I had to change it so that I was not confused with a poser on this board.

I don't see a problem with that rule, the guy was in too much of a hurry to get up and celebrate like most players these days, If you can't hold on to the ball than you don't deserve a tochdown. One rule that I think is really dumb "the ground can't cause a fumble". Whats up with that?
Oh yeah and what Budred was saying about Bret Favre a few post down should apply to Randy Moss. Standing up there with that crooked hat and headphones talking out the side of his mouth and whining. I can't stand that guy and can't believe Belichick puts up with that crap. No wonder they can't win a Superbowl these days.

Must chime in and agree that I like the old rule that once the ball breaks the plane....touchdown!!
Oh and Zomby is most certainly a good looking Englishman.  Thanks for the soccer/football clarity. A wise man too. |

Actually, the rule change came this past off season. If that game had been played last year, the Lions would have won the game. Another rule change is 'momentum or pushing a receiver out of bounds'. If you're pushed out and would have otherwise stayed in-bounds, you're still out and it's not a catch!! Another change, though not a rule change, is the referee no longer lines up behind the defensive line. He now lines up 12 yards behind the offensive line. Too many 'O' plays had receivers running routes behind the 'D' line and the LB'ers were being shielded by the ref so there were easy completions...that's no longer an issue. On the same note, if the Center snaps the ball before the ref is 12 yards back, the QB is charged with a penalty (ask Manning and the Colts about that one, he was repeatedley flagged for that in the pre-season, it's really messed up their game!! lol).
As for Cutler, 379 yards passing at a 103 passer rating...
Sunday's game against an emotional Cowboys team in Dallas will be a truer test for the Bears than last Sunday. Sure, the Lions are a vastly improved team than last year (RB Best is pretty damn good!!) with all the free agent signings, but nowhere near the talent of Dallas...same can be said for the Bears. I'm looking forward to it!!

The so called non-TD TD that has everybody upset isn't the end all beat all for the Lions / Bears game. Until that last drive the Lions had (I think) 99 yards of total offense!! They couldn't do ANYTHING against the Bears 'D'. Yeah, they scored twice, but we gave up the ball 4 times (twice deep)!! And that doesn't include a dropped TD by us on like the 3rd play of the game. The Lions 'D' had no answer to the Bears 'O'. They marched up and down the field at will against them...again, Bears turnovers and penalties are why the game was even close at the end. By my calculations, the Bears could of / should have easily won the game 35 or 42 to 0.
But I wholeheartedly agree...that WAS a TD catch in my book and the Bears are lucky to have escaped with a win!!
