NFL Playoffs?, Playoffs?!?!(that's not a catch, that's a catch)

Either way it was a heck of a game. Nice way for a great QB rivalry to end.

If only the early PAT hadn't been missed, then the Pats could have tied it up with a PAT at the end and sent the game to overtime.

Told that new PAT rule was bad news man!

Patriots and their scheming ways got what they deserved. They pushed for the new PAT rule, because they had a kicker that never (or so they thought) missed PATs, they got what they wanted, and now they aren't going to the super bowl.

[Grey Fox]

The new PAT rule is a great rule.

The new PAT rule is a great rule.

Now if the NFL would only adapt the "rouge".

[Alcibiades]

If the Cardinals lose today, who am I going to root against in the Super Bowl? 

Courtland Finnegan plays for the Panthers.  Root against them.

And together with that, the live ball after a missed field goal.

I'll bite.  What's the indictment on Courtland Finnegan?

If a FG is missed, the ball is live - the other team can pick it up and run it out of the end zone, or take a knee and give up the single point (the "rouge").  Usually the safer play is to give up the single since even if you run it out you'll have crappy field position, but occasionally it can make for an exciting play.

Achieving "his goal" was also well before more or less attacking Andre Johnson on the field a few years ago.

Ah interesting, I thought you meant that, for instance, they couldn't return a missed field goal in the NFL, which they can.  Wasn't aware of those types of rules.

I didn't know that.  Thanks.

Just, you know, usually the ball goes out of bounds on a missed FG
