LOL. You don't "lose your block" if you always have your hands on a guy the entire time and are driving him forward the entire time like Kelce was doing. That's called "blocking." He even turned Bohanan around while blocking him 4 yards downfield. Who needs glasses again? Oh wait, you do have them. They're called fan glasses.


Not surprised you are sniffing ref's jocks again. You are the same guy who insisted Herbert shouldn't have been called for intentional grounding last year when he was about to get sacked by Micah. As I said, get some glasses.

Already covered in the rules I posted. Item 1(b). After disengaging and crashing into Kelce/Bohanan, he literally turns around to watch Hurts throw the ball because he can't block any further by rule.

RULE 8
SECTION 3 INELIGIBLE PLAYER DOWNFIELD

ARTICLE 1. LEGAL AND ILLEGAL ACTS. On a scrimmage play during which a legal forward pass is thrown, an ineligible
offensive player, including a T-formation quarterback, is not permitted to move more than one yard beyond the line of scrimmage
before the pass has been thrown.

Item 1. Legally Downfield. An ineligible player is not illegally downfield if, after initiating contact with an opponent within one yard
of the line of scrimmage during his initial charge:
(a) he moves more than one yard beyond the line while legally blocking or being blocked by an opponent
(b) after breaking legal contact with an opponent more than one yard beyond the line of scrimmage, he remains stationary until
a forward pass is thrown
(c) after losing legal contact with an opponent more than one yard beyond the line of scrimmage, he is forced behind the line of
scrimmage by an opponent, at which time he is again subject to normal blocking restrictions for an ineligible offensive player.

Note: If an ineligible offensive player moves beyond the line while legally blocking or being blocked by an opponent, an
eligible offensive player may catch a pass between them and the line of scrimmage.
Item 2. Illegally Downfield. An ineligible offensive player is illegally downfield if:
(a) he moves more than one yard beyond the line of scrimmage without contacting an opponent
(b) after losing contact with an opponent within one yard of the line of scrimmage, he advances more than one yard beyond the
line of scrimmage
(c) after losing contact with an opponent more than one yard beyond the line of scrimmage, he continues to move toward his
opponent’s goal line.
Penalty: For ineligible offensive player downfield: Loss of five yards from the previous spot.

Note: An ineligible offensive player is illegally downfield when his entire body is more than one yard beyond the line of
scrimmage.
If the player he blocks is an off-ball LB then that's more than 1 yard before engaging the defender.

The back foot of a DL is 1 yard off the ball and off-ball LBs are not that close to the line.

What about the penalty of Fowler on the 4th and 4. They used motioning tight end that started his motion on one of the hard hut counts.

Its not in the rules I guess but how does a defender get off the line to get an edge when they see guys moving first? Watch the ball, right? Seems like the better thing to do would be to make it a rule to not have a man motion on a hard count.

Assuming this is an issue in the NFL. Im going by a youtube video that showed this.
The TE didn't move forward.

I agree that it's sketchy, but legal.

Their OC did a lot of bobbing but he was still before Fowler jumped. I've seen less bobbing by an OC get called but they never call it consistently.

Fowler has to know not to jump in that situation. He can wait for the LT to move or watch the ball.

I don't see a denial of what I stated. Thanks for confirming.

I would say this picture shows two Eagles technically downfield. One is blocking Kearse who is a safety. The other is blocking Barr. I seriously doubt either of these offensive linemen engaged a S and LB within1 yard of the LOS. The Cowboys should send this to the league office. Perhaps it will force the Eagles to pull their linemen in and not go out and block LBs and DBs.

Bro, Parsons crashed the line biting on the run fake. So he came to the line to put himself within 1 yard of the LOS. Here's the pic I showed the other guy who has yet to answer my question as to whether the guy blocking Parsons was within 1 yard of the LOS when he said the OL engaged Parsons at the 5. Don't think I'll get an answer from him but what do you think? Is he within 1 yard of the LOS while blocking Parsons as the 2nd guy he engaged?

That's because no matter what I would have posted, you would say the refs were right. Just like the Herbert play last year when everyone told you were wrong. I even posted a video by the NFL that explained what you were saying was wrong, yet you still claim the refs were right. How's that saying go? "Don't waste time arguing with an idiot..." LOL.

I'd try to deflect to a year old play too if I got caught trying to make crap up despite what video shows. Next you'll say that Dez caught it and that the Immaculate Reception wasn't really legal either. Lol.

Let me guess. You tell yourself "I'm good enough, I smart enough, and dog on it, refs are always right" in front of the mirror. Right? LOL.

I was screaming at the TV. The problem is the Eagirls have been doing this all season and not once has it been called, NOT ONCE! The Jordan Rules I guess.
Actually it was called against them repeatedly especially early in the season.

If I'm DQ I instruct micah to blow the qb up whether he pitches or not. They will stop calling it.

YES! I've been telling my friends that for years. Blow up the quarterback posing as a runner no matter what and see how long this option fiasco continues.

Well, how about that… enforced very differently by different crews. We just drew the ones that were blind to this happening all night. What a joke officiating has become, zero consistency.

Eagles looked like dear in headlights in the 4th quarter. Like they been punched in the gut. Had Dak been the QB I lay ya odds we win that game. Hurts and self inflicted wounds was the difference. We couldn't match Hurts.

Was the deer in headlights look happening on the 15 play 7 minute drive right down the throat of Dallas’ great D?

So you’d like the NFL to change a rule because Dante Fowler is too dumb to watch the ball? Anyone with half a brain knew the Eagles weren’t running a play there.

Even more interesting to me is that 3/4 of our defensive line was collapsed back inside the 5 yard line before he threw the ball. The only one who wasn’t spied the ball carrier before switching to spy the qb.

The coaches should have watched film and alerted the league/officials this was happening prior to the game. There's no excuse for these sorry, no spotting officials.
