While that may be true the NFL has called offsides on us multiple times this season when we've never been offsides. They keep trying to saying Kelce's hand is Dickerson's hand, when it's not. It's Kelce's and he's allowed to put his hand in the neutral zone.
🎶Your hand is my hand, my hand is your hand…🎵
It’s because Kelce routinely pushes the ball forward when he grabs it off the original line of scrimmage. Some refs are actually able to recognize what the true LOS is and are calling it correctly.
lmao
The refs are professionals they would never get a call wrong how dare you! /s
Same for us. They constantly get confused and flag the wrong player. Also tons of “ineligible receiver down field” on our OL. Feels like they never called that and now it’s at least once a game.
They also called false start on the center. I’m not a rules expert, but isn’t the center… the one who starts? How can he be false?
I get we are young and inexperienced and going to make mistakes… but some of those calls are head scratchers.
It feels like ineligible man downfield and grounding calls have increased league wide this year due to more strict enforcement of the rules.
Center can false start just like any other player if they flinch/act like they’re going to snap the ball and then don’t. If they move forward without snapping the ball it’s also a false start.
Every time this has happened I’m pretty sure the defense has actually been offsides
You are almost seeing the whole picture then. The ball is placed by the ref. Kelce extends the ball once his hand is on it. This makes it appear the defense is offsides, unless you knew it was the center who extended his arm a foot or two forward. And if you didn't notcie that the center extended his arm forward, it would look as if somebody on defense is offsides. This is what refs have been looking for this year after being tipped off about it in the offseason.
In defense of the referee, he’s looking down the line past 3 other bodies from the sideline. It’s not exactly easy to figure out whose arm is in the neutral zone. I’m not saying it’s the right call, but you guys aren’t intentionally getting screwed over
If only we had the technology to instantly eliminate these mistakes
