NFL Rare & Random Penalties #2

[@jbrav55]

The last one is really interesting. Because even the announcers immediately are like "That's not a penalty!!", but then they take out their rulebook and parse the language line by line and suddenly they agree that it's technically a penalty. Just goes to show what refs have to learn and know on the fly during a game. They can't flip open the rule book or look at 10 replays, they have to decide it in the second it happens. (And just to be sure: They made the right call here. As you can hear the announcers say in the end, the rule says that if you line up more than a yard behind scrimmage, you aren't allowed to touch another body _even on the way down_ - this is to prevent defense from full sprint launching people into the O-line and then saying "I hit them on the way down...", there is no goaltending rule in the NFL.)

Considering roughly 41,000 plays occur in the NFL season, if only 15 of them happen, that alone makes it pretty rare. The fact that KC's offensive offsides got called to negate a late TD, in a close game, on an incredibly creative play, that definitely adds to the rarity of the penalty call.

@@AlmostReady504 i was about to correct you on the rule but they even changed the wording more. the old wording was towards your own goal line not line of scrimmage. it now says "A blindside block in the NFL occurs when a player blocks someone who is either looking away from them or in the direction away from the action of the play." so today i bet its still called even tho it is kinda in direction of the play.

The rule is that you cannot pull a runner forward by the pads or helmet. You can push as much as you want.

I can't feel too bad for the Kadarius Toney NZI call, cause even though it sucks seeing such a sweet play get wiped out by a boneheaded move, they won the whole kit & kaboodle at the end of it. Unlike the Vikes getting crushed on Blair Walsh's missed field goal vs the Seahawks. (I'm a Packers fan first & foremost but one of my old WoW buddies was a big vikes fans so we'd sit and bullshit during the games on ventrilo).

[@zym6687]

Yeah that's the difference between it being a footnote in vs the defining play of a season. Also excuse me for ranting about blaming kickers for a loss, Blair Walsh scored every point for the Vikings that game with 3/3, if he missed earlier or the offense manage to score ONCE, he isn't even on the field to take that kick, and the offense get to take the blame for not converting on the last play. The kicker doesn't have to fail every possession that results in zero points for their team, but the offense does. Every. Single. Time.

The Blindside was not a blindside he was looking directly at him?

[@rightwingsafetysquad9872]

That was a bad call. However, the name of the penalty is a bit of a misnomer. You cannot block towards your own goal line with a body shot; if blocking toward your own goal line, you must lead with the hands. It actually has little to do with hitting someone in their blind side. This is a bad call because it was not towards their own goal line.
