the jets were one of the early teams to use this tactic against the bills who had become famous for their 'no huddle offense' that propelled them to 4 straight superbowl losses. i can't recall any specific players or games (too many drugs), but i do recall the jets using this same scam. so many teams started using the 'injury time out' scam during the 1990's to counter the no huddle that the nfl started assesing timeouts (within 2 minutes of the half, 5 minutes of the game). injuries are impossible for the refs to assess on the field (could be anything from a bad cramp to the wind knocked out to a broken neck). its funny to watch a truely injured player hop off the field on one foot to save his team a timeout. i'll never get tired of that. moral of the story, for every good offense, some genious will think of a good defense. and thus the game continues to evelove. not too long ago football was striclty running the ball - no passing - until some genious started tossing the rock. hence, the introduction of DB's and Safetys. i have no qualm with the cotton ponies using this. hell, we would.
lol and if roles werent reversed there wouldnt be any threads on your broncos boards? you're dumb. hope we see u guys in the playoffs.
Apparently you didnt see this.... http://forums.theganggreen.com/showthread.php?t=39016 Sad your team actually admits flopping, we can only hope that this picks up steam and the papers run with it. I thought that your team might actually have athletes who want to compete on the field, but I guess not. Now they are pretending to be hurt in order to stop play.
I was saying the same thing the entire time. Whenever we got something going and it looked like we were going to no-huddle... WHAT DO YOU KNOW! Another 'injury'! And the guy would be back on the field in one or two plays.
Hey look, a Donkeys fan that shows up to gloat after he didn't have the sack to show up on this board before the game! Spineless.
I created this account a 2 days before the game, and It got validated today. And don't say we faked injuries. WHY THE FUCK WOULD WE. We have our back-ups back-ups playing. We are one of the most, if not the most injury plagued teams in the NFL. And do you know how many players were actually injured?
Certainly not Dre Bly, who admitted to it. We lost anyway, no Jet fan is saying we would have won if not for that. You should at least man up and admit the injuries were faked. I hope every team does this to us actually. And then we run up the score on all of them as payback. I personally don't believe "running up the score" even exists, but obviously Mangini does since he always goes into a shell, usually far before a game is won.
Hey stalkerfsh who is this we you talk about, do you have a mouse in your pocket? Go troll elsewhere this is a Jets message board. Try and find yourself a fellow donkey to hehawwww with. Peace.
