They had a mercifully brief rule change where fan noise created a five-yard penalty and a loss of timeout in 1989. I remember the 49ers complaining about the Kingdome noise in the preseason and Seattle losing all three timeouts for the half as a result.
I think it was a Rams-Giants game the season prior which necessitated that noise penalty, specifically adding to Jim Everett’s reputation of being ‘soft.’
Yeah it’s so weird how they actually run plays nowadays
I felt like I was on acid watching that I didn’t know there were no plays lol
I know right.
It’s so bizarre seeing defense being allowed against pass plays. Nowadays, if the receiver and cornerback jerseys cause molecular friction in-play, it’s a personal foul and pass interference call.
