Do you feel the colts should have tried the same? Or it should a rule have been taken into effect right away after the ravens? Its called, "ILLEGAL formations". If it confuses the refs and coach, the ref should have called a penalty or made up a rule just like the tuck rule.

There were no illegal formations. The tuck rule was not made up. It just hadn't been called for a long time. I can recall that Manning had a tuck call that was ruled in favor of the Colts. I can say IMO that the tuck rule used in the Patriot-Raider game was shady at best. I think they should do away with the tuck rule. If a QB pulls the pass back down and looses the ball it should be ruled a fumble.
