Cobb Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 (edited) Source: USA Today Here is Goodell's ruling about how the NFL will adjust its playing to compensate for the possibility of a punt hitting the video board: If a ball in play strikes a video board, guide wire, sky cam, or any other object, the ball will be dead immediately, and the down will be replayed at the previous spot. If there is not an on-field ruling that the ball struck an object, the Replay Assistant is empowered to initiate a booth review, including if the event occurs prior to the two-minute warning. If, prior to the two-minute warning, no booth review is initiated by the Replay Assistant, a coach's challenge is permitted under the customary procedures for such a challenge. In the event the down is replayed: A] The game clock will be reset to the time remaining when the snap occurred. B] All penalties will be disregarded, except for personal fouls which will be administered prior to replaying the down. Rule 3, Section 1 of the Official NFL Playing Rules provides for an official ruling to be implemented "in the interim between the annual rules meeting" that is "official only during the current season." This Official Ruling expires at the conclusion of the 2009 postseason.I'm surprised that it's not going to be moved. I assume they'll do something about it after the season is over then.

J-Rat Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 it could easily happen 3 times on one possession Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobb Posted August 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Not three times in one possession but maybe three times in a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly3rs18 Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 i cant wait till the coyboys are in the 4th quarter of a big game and they have to punt. they get the punt off, but it hits the scoreboard. they have to repunt and the punt gets blocked. they lose the game because of it i cant wait till what jerry jones says when that happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobb Posted August 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 That'd be so unlucky but the chances of it happening are slim to none. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoastNiner Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 It's the NFL's fault. They approved the building of the scoreboard, and made the regulations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoastNiner Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 If I were a QB, and I couldn't find anybody open on 3rd down, I'm launching the ball into the scoreboard and getting a "redo". . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reno Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 nfl's fault for allowing them to build the stadium. Cowboys have the best stadium in the nfl, nice huge screen. I wish more owners were b/a like dem cowboys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
