Tony Dungy just said we got robbed

[RoboQB]

We shouldn't have been in that position against a bad team.

Yeah, that team is 4-2 and leading their division. They suck... lol

 

[mldardy]

Defenders watch the snap. He moved and it’s illegal. Whether they call it consistently or not, it’s another issue.

Bull****.

 

[Bdubsgottagrub]

NO ONE is a bad team against Dallas!

Everyone who plays against Dallas is fully rested and wants to kick their *** like no other team...

 

[khiladi]

Bull****.

“No player of offensive team may charge or move abruptly, after assuming set position, in such manner as to lead defense to believe snap has started.”

The defender jumped because our snapper moved his hands after already being in a set motion. If the defender didn’t jump, the refs may have let it slide, but he did and it was illegal.

What's a robbery is Jason Garrett's paycheck .

“No player of offensive team may charge or move abruptly, after assuming set position, in such manner as to lead defense to believe snap has started.”

Nothing was moved abrupltly....

Goo Google the rule man..the center can move the ball in a 90 degree manner all he wants

Can't lift it off the ground, move it left to right, or abruptly


Why didn't the ref call the foul standing right in front of him? Why didn't the players call it out as well??? Cuz it's all bs

 

[mldardy]

“No player of offensive team may charge or move abruptly, after assuming set position, in such manner as to lead defense to believe snap has started.”

Oh please with this bs. Players do this almost every damn snap and NOW you want to call it. Like I said bull****. Convenient bull****. And it says 'assuming set position'. So the officials go by assumptions. That's even more bs.

I just quoted the rule.

Show me where they do it all the time and the guy goes offsides And the ref said it’s OK? Your anecdotes are not proof..

 

[Bdubsgottagrub]

Sounds like a rule to a false start not snap infraction specific rule

 

[mldardy]

Show me where they do it all the time and the guy goes offsides And the ref said it’s OK? Your anecdotes are not proof..

Show you? Why don't you watch every snap. You need to open your eyes and show yourself.

 

[khiladi]

Show you? Why don't you watch every snap. You need to open your eyes and show yourself.

So you don’t have any proof?

If you pay attention to the rule, it’s defined by how the DEFENDER reacts. The defender reacted in this situation to the ball movement.

 

[Bdubsgottagrub]

He does it the same exact way the 2nd fg attempt at the 52 yard...the 2 plays are identical, no foul tho

 

[mldardy]

I just gave you proof. It's you that don't have any proof. If it was called on a consistent basis that would be your proof but it's hardly ever called so your excuse that just because it doesn't get called doesn't make it wrong is pure bs. It needs to be called more often if it's a rule and not because it's convenient.

 

[SkinsandTerps]

I'll sign up for the iffy call. I will also say that it was a penalty.
That wasn't the reason for the loss though.

Give credit here and there. The Commanders shut down the biggest weapon.

 

[mldardy]

He does it the same exact way the 2nd fg attempt at the 52 yard...the 2 plays are identical, no foul tho

Exactly this. I want to see this called every time on us from now on if it's a rule and every other team but I know it won't be.

 

[Bdubsgottagrub]

Why the hell would the center risk it again if he knew he ****ed up?? Cuz it was bull****!!!

 

[mldardy]

So you don’t have any proof?

If you pay attention to the rule, it’s defined by how the DEFENDER reacts. The defender reacted in this situation to the ball movement.

Here's your other proof:

 

[khiladi]

He does it the same exact way the 2nd fg attempt at the 52 yard...the 2 plays are identical, no foul tho

Again, because THE DEFENDER jumped in the first case, meaning it would have either been encroachment or illegal move. As I said, the rule is qualified in this case by how the defender reacts.

And as far as the actual rules of the snap:

Article 3: Restrictions for Snapper. The snap (3-31) may be made by any offensive player who is on the
line of scrimmage but must conform to the following provisions:

(a) The snap must start with the ball on the ground, with its long axis horizontal and at right angles to the line.

(b) It is not necessary that the snap be between the snapper’s legs, but it must be one quick and continuous motion of the hand or hands of the snapper. The ball must leave or be taken from his hands during this motion.

(c) The snapper may not snap the ball after it is ready for play until all of the officials have had a reasonable time to assume their normal stances. If this occurs, the ball remains dead, and no penalty is assessed unless it is a repeated act after a warning (delay of game).

Penalty: For illegally snapping the ball: Loss of five yards from the line of scrimmage.

 

[khiladi]

Here's your other proof:

So because he says he does it all the time, that’s proof? That’s what one calls an anecdote. So do defenders jump all the time when he does it?
