Thornton

[dfense]

Anybody catch him jump offsides but no flag?

He looks to both sidelines to see if there was a flag before rushing. Kind of hilarious to see, like a double take.

Honestly? I can't remember seeing Thornton at all.

Yeah I saw it. Not only did he jump but he looks around after, showing he was clearly guilty.

What can I say? This team's been allowed to cheat for years. They have the refs in their back pocket. It bothers me sometimes.

What I didn't understand is guilty or not, you don't stop playing and look around for a flag. Rodgers has proven to make teams pay when given a free down.

Why does that bother you?

The refs were pretty lenient with the neutral zone yesterday. There were several plays when the interior Packer DL's helmets were almost aligned with the Cowboys helmets,,, how the hell were they not in the neutral zone?

 

[panchucko]

Did he really get into the neutral zone? I never saw a a view showing he did, maybe he was back far enough and didn't cross when he jumped

 

[pugilist]

looked to me like he got back out of the neutral zone just as the ball is being snapped

would need to watch again to confirm

Just because a DL jumped and got back right when the ball snap doesn't mean he should always be penalized.

Also, just because a DL jumped doesn't automatically mean he crossed over the LOS.

In that play, I thought that Thornton got back in time before ball was snapped.

He did get back in time.

As to other posts...And he did not look around like he was guilty or where's the flag, he jumped, and got back in time.
We are lucky the C did not flinch, as it would have been called encroachment.

Yes, and since the C did not flinch, nothing was called.

It is not cheating if you don't get caught. lol

The Patriots cheat, get caught, and still win...and nothing happens to them....

I thought he got back before the ball was hiked.
