ball hits the ground. Another technicality, but the rule is the rule.

The more I think about the PR for a TD called back, the more it upsets me - IrishChristopher - 12:54am 11/18/24 (17) [View All]
- Here's the rule and I'll try to explain it as simply as I can - McIrish - 9:12am 11/18/24

    - Well, not sure about that one - McIrish - 10:55am 11/18/24
      - Kinda hard to determine that when he was hit right after muff. [NT] - Chrisb - 11:05am 11/18/24
        He wasn't hit. The ball bounced off his shoulder pads right to the oncoming coverage guy. - McIrish - 11:10am 11/18/24
    - Exactly...just call things both ways is all I ask. [NT] - Chrisb - 10:49am 11/18/24
- They are probably enforcing the rule correctly..the problem is - Chrisb - 9:06am 11/18/24
  - ND showed the refs the formation & the play, but not the numbering of the players in formation. [NT] - SteveM - 10:19am 11/18/24
    - yes, but as someone else posted, I had impression - cubsfanin16 - 5:35pm 11/18/24

      - don't they mention 'if you do this you can't do that' No, the refs are only made aware of the play. - SteveM - 11:08am 11/18/24
      - None of us has any idea what was really discussed before the game - McIrish - 11:08am 11/18/24
- Even if technically "right" did the penalty result in an advantage for ND? NFL don't care about #s. [LINK] - LanceManion - 7:31am 11/18/24
- i haven’t heard the entire explanation, but the numbers thing is essential for football. [NT] - WestCoastIrishFan - 6:38am 11/18/24
- The explanation was piss-poor. Perhaps someone here can do better. - NedoftheHill - 1:26am 11/18/24
  - MF's post game explanation wasn't all that great either. Extremely vague. [NT] - ELP - 7:54am 11/18/24
    - Could be the lack of clarity and understanding in the call lies with both sides.? [NT] - whatsamataU - 8:09am 11/18/24
