ATL_Predator+ 1,196 Posted September 15, 2016 http://www.yahoo.com/sports/news/bill-belichick-isnt-bending-to-nfl-kickoff-rule-and-others-may-follow-suit-001819719.html I think it's pretty damn interesting. Skying the kick and increasing the hangtime gives your gunners more time to get down the field and less time for the return man to get up to speed. Leave it to the Pats to find a way to say fuck Goodell and still manage to play the game. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Serves the NFL right for the stupid rule, but they should have seen this coming. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
