Biggest football related pet peeve

[theRU]

For me...

1. Posing after first downs
1a. The loose flapping gloves.. I mean just cut off the flaps if you feel you need to leave them undone. Don't get it
1b. Dropping the ball while crossing the goaline... I mean dumb shits really when it costs you a td

2. Anything OBJ does... Especially his excessive attempts at one handed catches

Good list, I’d add:

3. Elaborate TD celebration when your team is down by 3 scores with under a minute left in the game.

 

[RUsundevil]

forward progress. just mark the spot where the ball actually is when u hit the ground.

 

[HeavenUniv.]

The NFL not using the one foot rule on a pass! Would eliminate fans having to sit in rain, snow, 96 degrees, etc. while replays are watched over and over destroying the flow of the game.

For me: People always stand up in front of me when we score touchdowns.Why do we have to score so many times?(I am looking into the FUTURE.AND I would gladly stand,if I could go to the games.)

 

[RUevolution36]

NFL OT format. Much prefer college OT.

I could already see the d start to pick up rbs and carry them backwards lol

Placing the ball on the 20 after a missed FG inside the red zone.

Can someone explain that one to me?

 

[RU Diesel07110]

Running 5 yard route when need 8 yards for 1st down. Btw : we do this ALOT

Team A drives from their 1 yard line all the way down to Team B's 1 yard line -- I mean, really worked for it on this drive (although it could have been just one long play, as well). Team A running back is going in for score, and fumbles the ball -- it trickles into and out of the end zone. Team B gets the ball on the 20?! I mean, yeah, it's a bonehead play, fumbling out of the end zone, but maybe team A should get it back at the 20? It's not like the other team actually recovered it . . .

Referee spots the ball based on pure judgement. Then they take the chains out and measure down to the fraction of an inc . whether the team got a first down.

Yeah. This is a good one.

With you on tbat and you can add players too. Two way street.

Sometimes they just let the players spot the ball themselves for +2 or 3 yards.

 

[RICOelectric]

NFL overtime ! Can they simply just adopt the college way of OT.

 

[DJ Spanky]

Yes, because I'm very good at it, but I need to continuously practice to keep my edge.

 

[wicker]

Too many cheap first downs on NFL defensive penalties

Another great thing about Schiano. He doesn't tolerate any of this crap.

 

[koleszar]

I don't have much to complain about the game itself. However, when players introduce themselves in those little videos, could some of them please speak the English language?

[We Are RU]

Offense fumbling out of bounds into the end zone leading to touchback for the defense.

 

[Upstream]

College overtime rules. The entire game is a strategy regarding field position, and in overtime they just give you the ball in field goal range?

College OT rules are awful.

The NY Jets patented the "go for less than you need for a first down on third down" move many, many years ago

 

[RUonBrain]

Why is a player ejected for targeting in college but is not in the NFL?

I think NFL should also eject the player.

 

[gef21]

Ok boomers

 

[RUonBrain]

I HATE IT when a QB takes a sack on 4th down late in the game instead of just throwing up a prayer towards a receiver.

Just happened in the Eagles game.

You have to tell yourself before the 4th down play, DO NOT TAKE A SACK!!!!

Why the heck does this happen so often???

 

[R1776U]

super duper homer fans that can't see ANYTHING wrong with their favorite team regardless of how much said team sucks (a few posters here are like that)

 

[Bill 86]

This is needed. In theory, defenders could pick up and carry a ball carrier back 30 yards and then put him on the ground

Placing the ball on the 20 after a missed FG inside the red zone. Can someone explain that one to me?

Back when dinosaurs ruled the Earth, a missed field goal did not come back to the spot of the hold. It was considered in the same category as a kick-off. If it goes out the back of the end zone, it came out to the 20 yard line (now the 25 for normal kickoffs that turn into touchbacks).

How about EVERY freakin’ play? Especially guys on D who have been burned all game long and FINALLY make a semi-decent play with 14-seconds yo go and act like they won the Super Bowl?
