Message: [QUOTE="ottodaorange, post: 2334478, member: 567"] My first reaction was that the guys going down were fake and it was an attempt to slow down the game and steal the tempo, especially when you see the same guys walking off the field and re-entering the game on the next play. Then I realized that it was probably close to 100 degrees in the dome (according to the announcers) and was an advantage for us because Pitt was not used to playing under these conditions. But I think that the fake injuries/slow down was probably true most of the time. Solution: With more and more teams going with the up tempo game, there will be more and more teams going for the "fake injuries/slow down" game. I think that a measured response by the rules committee is that if a person does the "fake injury" ploy, they should have to stay out of the game during the remainder of the current drive. If they are truly hurt, they shouldn't re-enter the game right away anyway. What do ya'll think? [/QUOTE]
