This is not cheating.

But nobody should be touching down and distance markers.

Only the refs.

I'm sure Garrett had a talk with him.

The refs could have thrown a flag for unsportsmanlike conduct.

Then the game would have ended as we would not convert 4th and 15..

We were lucky there.
The dreaded talking too by Garrett. Lol

I don't necessarily believe that to be cheating..... I think he was moving back to the down marker

Regardless, a coach shouldn't be touching down & distance

Well technically that is not a down and distance maker. It is a marker to make it easier to see where the line to gain was and it was in the wrong place. That marker had me concerned that Zeke did not get it because it was in the wrong place.

The official with the chain marker knocked it out of position when he ran out onto the field. Nice try though.

What I mean is no coach would do anything so stupid because it provides absolutely no gain whatsoever. As I mentioned, you could pick up the red marker and move it wherever you want and it won't impact the measurement on the field.

As the Miami Dolphins demonstrated yesterday, asst. coaches do very stupid things quite regularly.

Well it bothers me..>If we are going to cheat a lot...I want it to actually result in a win.
If we are going to cheat a lot and still lose...why bother.
Exactly. The patriots cheat all the time and win super bowls. We cheat and lose.

Our coaching staff sucks so bad they have to cheat to lose, I guess when you use a defensive system that high school coaches can pick apart you get desperate.

Why can't our defensive coaches get caught snorting drugs? That would instantly upgrade the defense.

I want a video of Garrett falling through the ceiling of the opposing teams locker room on game day.

Those markers are just for fans. The chains are the chains. He was just adjusting to get closer to what the chains would read.
