That Roman Harper injury timeout....

[Ezrider1423]

Well, I went back on pereira's Twitter and found the answer.

Dumb rule.

Agreed.

No, no it wouldn't have.

At best it would have changed the last play to a draw.

Zod didn't answer my question... how do we know he wasn't hurt?  It was on the other end of the field from where I was sitting yesterday so I didn't have a good look at it...

 

I'm not doubting it, I'm definitely not a Harper fan... I'd just like to know if this is speculation based on something seen, or if someone said something.

could have changed the play calling up a bit.

You'd think so wouldn't you?

If I recall Seattle also had a player down not long after that inside of two minutes as well. Unless I missed it, I don't remember them getting charged a time out.

Grandpa Harper needs to go this offseason

He tends to do this quite often after being involved in giving up a big play. So, what I'm saying is... get used to it.

Grandpa Harper needs to go this season.

This rule seems to be loosely enforced.  I've seen plenty of injuries occur inside 2 minutes and no timeout be called.  Harper was barely on the ground an extra 30 seconds before he walked off the field.  The rule is dumb, and it's not consistently enforced.

Won't answer because this is one of several posts made every week to rile up posters.

There was zero consistency with that call yesterday.

 

1) On the TD, the clock stops. The next play was an un-timed down. We lose a TO for an injury (Harper), which makes zero sense since it wouldn't affect the flow of the game or the game clock.

 

2) On the ensuing kickoff a Seahawks player gets hurts. Again, the clock stops automatically. However, this time the Seahawks do NOT lose a TO for injury. To me this is the correct interpretation since this injury has little to no bearing on the game clock or the flow of the game.

 

Now none of this mattered for this game, but is easily could have mattered.

Snarky comments like this is why I don't post this kind of stuff in here anymore. Thanks for the reminder.

Regardless of that, I would like to know if it's something you saw or something you heard...  I didn't have a good view of it from where I was sitting and am genuinely curious.

 

Harper is already on my poo list so I need to know if I need to dislike him any more.

Grandpa Harper needs to go this afternoon

Brees has to be licking his chops right now.
