Thank you for bringing up the Steelers. I was thinking the same thing, I don’t hear the Steelers calling for a new kick off rule. How about know the rules and play through the whistle idiots….

No honor

They did? I clearly missed that. Several players whined and made excuses. As did coach Shanaclam
Well that probably happened too, but I saw shanahan on the broadcast of the superbowl give the hawks props for being really good. He picked the hawks to win and you could tell he knew it and that the rest of the country was gonna find out. Maybe they’re still the whiners but after I saw that broadcast with Shanahan I saw a warrior respecting another warrior and not making any excuses. But that was just that day

Yep, that was cool. But his comments right after that game were pathetic. Basically, called the Hawks cheaters.

I'm interested in what change they propose. The day after that game, McVay was harping on the notion that "once the conversion is denied, the play is over". Which is ridiculous, considering an extra point kick being blocked does not end the play.

I've also seen suggestions that the fumble/continuing action/clear recovery rules shouldn't apply on a 2 point conversion.....which is ridiculous and I don't think the rules committee will want to carve out an exception that will simply cause more confusion.

I think the one legit concern is, why did the Fox rules analyst calling New York trigger a review of the play? But I think the problem is the opposite of what the Rams think is the problem. I answer that with "it was clearly the correct call, and it was a scoring play. Why did New York wait until the Fox analyst call to properly review the play?"
Agreed - I can't think of a change that wouldn't have cascading impact

Specific to conversions there are ways for a defense to score on a blocked kick, interception or fumble

It's a live play, so even if you made a rule that was conversion specific it will impact that portion

You're either limiting an existing span of outcomes based on a very rare single outcome, creating an opportunity for gamesmanship or both

This is yet another "It's not fair, we were robbed in that game" song and dance from a team that has had a history of dubious calls made FOR them. The Rams are just crybabies here.

Hardly worth paying attention to except to note the players on the Rams should know that if a play may be in question ensuring you control the ball or possess it is pretty important. That is something their coaches should have coached.

Proposal, illegal to score on two point conversion when passing, picking up a fumble, running, or a QB sneak when the Rams have the chance to advance to the play offs.

Wouldn't it be epic if they do change the rule and the Rams are the first to get stung by the change...lmao.

Mr. Spikeyhair didn't even know the rule. One coach was more prepared than the other. One team was more prepared than the other. PERIOD.

Stupid to be requesting the rule change, but that 2 point conversion was all luck. If he thought the ball was still live, he would have dove on it. The right call was made, but let’s not make it something it wasn’t.

He clearly didn't coach his team to grab the football no matter what. Luck yes but still was a backwards pass. That is a live ball. Mr. Perfect should have known that before he started whining. And if it was the other way around, he wouldn't have said one word. Maybe his team shouldn't have gone 5 straight drives w/out scoring a single point in the 4th quarter. That's a lot more the reason they lost than one 2 pt conversion.

Always excuses from the Niners and the Rams when they lose. Always. The Seahawks are the better football team. And he got outcoached, again, by Coach Mike. And in the NFC Championship, the game wouldn't have been close w/out Reek and his ridiculous taunting.
Coach McCrybaby just comes off as a 5-year-old folding his arms because he didn't get ice cream.

I'm not ever gonna play the "wouldn't have been close if we didn't ______" card when their guy muffed the punt return. Riq's gaffs and their returner's pretty much evened out and we got the close game most were rightfully expecting.

I'm fine with McVay complaining too. It would honestly be more unsettling if he was like, "Hey, sometimes some rare stuff happens but we're not going to dwell on that. There's a bunch of things we can do better and we're going to focus on that." If that guy is up at night thinking about how he thinks a scoring review screwed him over, that's a lot better than than poking holes in the defense.

Good call back to another situation where the awareness of the Hawk player came though.

Maybe McVey could learn something from MacDonald and how Hawk players are coached up. Hey McVey, it's called chasing edges b....
