I had just hit a 3rd and 20 my back was behind the secondary and runs stright and true. the score was 10-6 Barry .
You just hate after many hours of work to have the game change on an officals call that I THINK WAS A VERBAL MISCOMMUNICATION ON MIKES PART>
I told Mike later on my headstone you will read "I SAID IT YOU DID NOT HERE IT"
Very frustrating.
It is not even a rule that you have to declare a lineman eligible.
But I am the only one that s knows it.

Losses have a profound way of making you understand things about your team, and yourself. The question is what should you do with YOUR TEAM to ensure it doesn't happen. Now matter what communication is two way. What if Mike, and I am not defending him, said you never said anything? Sender + receiver+ acknowledgement from receiver=two way communication. If that did not happen then share the blame, correct your team, then move on.
Regarding the rules? If a man spent countless years to cover every nuance of a ruleset through various corrections of controversial or techinical discrepancies in the past, then it should take an equal amount of time to streamline them.
Just my thouhgts.
