Re: USFL Rules changes
It's a good change. When I first read the rule differences before the season started, it surprised me that they wouldn't allow a change of option upon the calling of a time-out, or the commission of a defensive foul. Good for Pereira to make the change...
Btw, do rule changes have to be approved by the league, or cam Mike Pereira make them unilaterally-?

Re: USFL Rules changes
Another rule change, one that has me wondering, is the decision to run the clock after the ball is re-spotted on an incomplete pass. Does anyone have specifics on that rule? It looks like they're sometimes enforcing it, and other times not. Expert help would be appreciated.
They put the change in, I heard, so that games wouldn't take as long. Hmm. Hope it's not a bad omen...

I think it’s proposed by coaches and go to Pereira but I’m not certain about thatLtCmdrData wrote: ↑Sun May 15, 2022 8:57 pm It's a good change.

Re: USFL Rules changes
I know Jeff Fisher made the request. However, I didn't hear about any vote or consideration, and it went through quickly. Given that FOX Sports owns the league, you would think someone from their office would need to okay such a change (though they probably just rubber-stamped it).herns wrote: ↑Sun May 15, 2022 9:18 pmI think it’s proposed by coaches and go to Pereira but I’m not certain about thatLtCmdrData wrote: ↑Sun May 15, 2022 8:57 pm It's a good change.

Also, what do you all think about rule changes mid-season in general? The "major" sports leagues seldom do such a thing except perhaps to clarify a rule. Their changes occur during the off-season...
I've umped a lot of baseball... nobody would think of changing the rules at the All-Star Break...

Re: USFL Rules changes
In the first and third quarters. You may have seen it in the second quarter where the clock didn't run, thus looked like selective enforcement. Believe me as a non-fan I already had it out with the props to the death over it I'd just be getting started again if that were the case.LtCmdrData wrote: ↑Sun May 15, 2022 8:59 pm Another rule change, one that has me wondering, is the decision to run the clock after the ball is re-spotted on an incomplete pass.

You could look at the fact they probably had an eye towards the SNL season finale (cause the last time this happened............) and the Preakness wraparound DH on NBC before it. I say tough, that's why you have 3 1/2 hour windows.

Re: USFL Rules changes
So far I don’t mind them, it’s a new league and new rule book so I’d rather have it changed on the fly than go with a bad rule. The only time I’ve had an issue with changing in the fly was fcf and that was because they changed in between gamesLtCmdrData wrote: ↑Sun May 15, 2022 9:24 pmI know Jeff Fisher made the request.

Re: USFL Rules changes
Pereira said during the lightning delay yesterday that he and his "group" (or something to that effect) discussed the Fisher rule and decided it would be best to implement it. So it isn't just him, but a probably small group of him and a couple other league execs.LtCmdrData wrote: ↑Sun May 15, 2022 8:57 pm It's a good change.
