NFL Rare & Random Penalties #1

[@Kylora2112]

Petition for Ed Hochuli to referee referees. Also, "Illegal kicking: kicking team" will never not be funny.

Ed is the GOAT

[@tyvulpintaur2732]

That was actually a heads-up kick by the QB. I'd rather give up the safety than a touchdown if the defensive player had recovered.

he is a guaranteed HoF enshrinement…

[@clg0003]

Good thing it wasn't 4th Down. Illegal Kicking also carries a loss-of-down with it, IF it had been 4th Down the defense could have taken the penalty. The result would have been a markoff half the distance to the goal, and a loss of down, turning the ball over at that spot.

If I'm not wrong, in Canadian Football you can kick the ball in your endzone without a penalty.

[@TuberOnTheLoose]

3:45 - basically there's no penalty for this penalty because it will always be declined in favor of the safety.

[@Kylora2112]

If the ball is in the field of play, then it absolutely is a penalty (such as against the Exskins vs. Giants illegal kicking here). Honestly though, committing an intentional and obvious penalty to prevent the opponent from a touchdown should result in the touchdown (e.g., punching the ball out of the endzone on a botched snap/handoff to keep the defense from recovering).

[@zacblake4871]

Im pretty sure it would be a safety no matter what as the penalty occured in the endzone kind of like a holding or intentional grounding

[@bostonrailfan2427]

it’s enforced on the free kick that comes after, instead of the 20 it’s kicked from the 10… and as of 2023 they can decline the safety due to exploiting safeties like that kick.

in college football there was a penalty once on BYU when they were at the 5 yd line and the QB turned around and walked back like he was confused and they snapped the ball to the FB who ran for a TD and the officials called a penalty on the Offence for attempting to deceive the defense. I mean if you're going to make up a non existing penalty, at least make it sound legit like illegal procedure or something. The QB was just a man in motion.

[@aarongothmann7247]

That is not a non-existent penalty. It's unsportsmanlike conduct and is clearly stated in the rulebook.

[@carlhallowell3421]
