Golfman Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I'm watching the Eagles v. Falcons and it's going to be tough to watch football if they don't get these 'new rules' figured out. They might as well make it illegal to play defense the way this crap is going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packfanfb Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I heard Collinsworth say there's a new rule that the refs are going to blow dead most offsides penalties now....? He even mentioned that Rodgers would be upset lol.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite halftime yet and there have been 15 accepted penalties for almost 120 yards. RIDICULOUS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always been the rule that if the OL moves in response to defense entering the neutral zone, that's an NZI and is blown dead. It's just not always enforced well.

Sasquatch Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Some of these calls are just rust - it’s early season and teams aren’t in synchronized yet...nor are the refs for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malfatron Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 and the refs let a few penalties go too many of those penalties were legit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacReady Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I think somebody should tell Matt Ryan there isn't a rule stating he has to throw to Julio Jones every play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leader Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Can a DB now shove the WR out of bounds and no longer have it called: "it would have been a reception because the WR would have come down in bounds if not pushed out?" If so - thats a good rule for the DBs. You dont have to exclusively play the ball - let him catch it - just make sure to shove him out of bounds. It that the way it is now?

In fact, the "force out" rule was eliminated in 2008. Also I have no idea what Collinsworth was talking about re: "they will blow the whistle now" since the penalty in question was a neutral zone infraction, which has always stopped the play.

Okay - thanks. Yeah it was Collingsworth's comment on that last play of the ATL/PHILLY game that prompted my question. I may be misinterpreting it cause it would seem a easier defensive move to let the guy catch the pass - or not focus on defending against it as much as simply shoving him out of bounds.
