NFL Competition Committee has proposed a rule change making it illegal for players with eligible numbers to line up outside the tackle box.

You explained it in a juvenile and shallow manner, using a very tenuous link between the subjects that showed you didn't understand analogies or why yours was weak.

I honestly understand

No, you really, really do not. That's one thing we've established here. As evidenced by the fact that you don't understand circular logic or how what you're doing is an example of it.

the group of NFL professionals whose job it is to identify unfairness and imbalance in the rules and correct them.

No, actually, that's not what the competition committee is for at all. As evidence by the fact that no language like that whatsoever appears in their charge. The CC also suggested moving kickoffs to the 40 yard line and ending overtime in the preseason. Neither of those are an example of unfairness or imbalance. So again, we have another case of you not knowing what you're talking about.

all I see you saying is, "OH MY GOD OUR COACH IS SO GOOD AND YOU'RE ALL WHINING BECAUSE HE'S BETTER THAN YOU."

Maybe you forgot, but you were the one who brought up Belichick, not me. Don't be mad at me because you regret going down this road.

It's unfair because it shifts the power balance between offense and defense in an undesirable way

Which is the foundation upon which offensive football strategy is built. I really don't know if you're too stupid to grasp this or if you just don't understand the sentence you're typing.

"All you have to do is cover the right player," that's easier said than done

Happens in college all the time. Those amateurs seem to have no problems with it. Maybe they can teach the pros.

in a situation where there's deliberate deception going on

Again, that's exactly what the offense is supposed to do. Again: is your problem malice or ignorance? Hanlon's Razor in full effect here.

you have only seconds with which to coordinate a reaction

Yeah, again, that's exactly what football is. And FYI, I was at that game and the refs got on the PA 10 seconds before the snap to tell everyone who was ineligible or eligible. Everyone in Foxboro, from the drunks to the children knew something tricky was about to happen. Maybe we should have helped Harbaugh figure it out.

That logistical problem is why this rule change will pass.

Whether or not it passes is irrelevant to the issue; you're creating a false cause fallacy. It also doesn't make up for the fact that you just showed that you know as much about NFL football as a donkey does about quantum mechanics.

The salt here is from the Patriots fans

Pretty sure you don't understand what "salty" means. We're on a wold championship high up here. The only salt we've got in New England is on our roads. The salt in this thread is coming from people like you who came out of the woodwork to try and disparage the greatest dynasty in NFL history. Little people have to pursue little victories, after all.

can't bear even the implication that their precious coach could have used a technique that's legal but unfair competition

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA okay this was legit funny. Buddy Pats fans call the team the Evil Empire and call Belichick an evil genius all the time. If Bill isn't doing something innovative that pisses people off, he's not being the Bill we love. We love that we root for a coach who is smart enough to push for every advantage regardless of what anyone else thinks. Talk all the shit you want about Belichick and the Pats, all it proves is how salty you are about them. I don't care about that.

What I do care about is when people go on the internet and spread misinformation and stupidity that could harm the uninformed and give them a biased opinion. Casual observers should know you lack credibility and comprehension and your comments should not be viewed by anyone. End of story.
