that player kicking the ball out of his own end zone was actually pretty smart. better to take the safety than a touchdown

yes! i thought they would award a touchdown. the PLAN was to take a safety, that's not a penalty when it was the plan.

[@raulv0417]

@@FHL-Devils That situation is even covered in the rules, under sportsmanlike acts. If the referee feels that the runner had a clear chance to score, a TD is awarded. So no, nothing is made up on the fly.

[@FHL-Devils]

@@raulv0417 - I have a hard time believing that a loose ball in the end zone, where it hasn't been clearly recovered by either team, would spontaneously be awarded as a TD. That's like saying the penalty for Pass Interference could be a TD. There might be examples of *egregious* unsportsmanlike conduct resulting in that (such as in the video)... but doing that for an on-field 'football play' just wouldn't happen in any practical sense. Every sport has tactical-fouls... You can't invent the most extreme example for what you think might have (or even probably would have) happened. The only counter-example to this is in the NHL where a goal is automatically awarded if a player commits a penalty against an opponent on a breakaway against an open net - and there's a player safety aspect to that - if the normal penalty was applied (a penalty shot with the goalie in the net), then players would be tacking each other and throwing their sticks down the ice to prevent the goal.

[@hiimemily]

Since it went unnamed in the video, the penalty in the Cotton Bowl was a palpably unfair act, and it resulted in Tommy Lewis being ejected in addition to Maegle being awarded the touchdown.

[@raulv0417]

And that's the correct enforcement of the penalty.

[@lightyagami3492]

There was something similar that happened between the Boston Patriots and the Dallas Texans in the early 60s where a fan ran out on the field and blocked a pass except Dallas wasn't awarded a score on the play... :(

There's one I recall from 2015 season, but I dunno how rare it is to qualify. Bears vs Packers: Bears' offense committing an offsides penalty.

[@Rockhound6165]

That happens all the time. Players, mostly receivers, get caught lining up in the neutral zone all the time.

[@michaeltrujillo9141]

There's was one I recall where a team was inside the 10 or so and the receiver motioned to the ref to make sure he was lined up right and the ref gave him a thumbs up. Once the ball was snapped that same ref thru a flag for being offsides lol

3:40 An Offensive False Start penalty? Woooow, learning something new every day 🏈👍🏽

[@bendang6039]

Also In a 1992 Chiefs vs Eagles game, at about 1:42:30 there was a penalty on a field goal for a defender leaving through the end zone and entering the wrong side of the field.

[@savagebricksports1]

thanks! This will come in handy for part 3!

[@anthonyroundtree5]

I'm still not seeing the last one. Maybe because now the defense could be called for inducing the false start. I'm not sure if that rule was in play at the time. But, if you want to add one, Cleveland Browns helmet penalty (aka, the Dwayne Rudd penalty). As a fan, I darn near had a heart attack.

[@eauhomme]

Manning moved his hands like he was catching a shotgun snap. A linebacker looking at him instead of the line might think the ball's being snapped. I've seen Dan Marino get called for it.

[@sm5574]

False start on the QB was common for a while in the 2000s (you'd see it about once a month), but this one was a bad call.

[@blorgo69]

3:40 ya got a couple notifications there buddy. - 8:32 PM 4/2/2022

[@FlyingEagleTV]

What?

[@raulv0417]

The one I have never, ever seen and it's in the rule book, both NCAA and pro, is the illegal fair catch signal. Video #1 displayed an invalid fair catch signal, because the receiver didn't extend his arm above his head. That's invalid. An illegal signal, though, is made when the scrimmage or free kick crosses the neutral zone, that is, strikes the ground. I only saw once a guy coming in from the bench and tackle the runner. The penalty in NCAA rules is clear although it appeals to the referee's judgement to award a TD or not. Very good series of videos. Thanks.

[@pronkb000]

One other quirk of the fair catch rules: a returner has fair catch protection until (or if) the ball hits the ground. There was a college game a few years ago where the returner fair-caught, and then bobbled the ball. The gunner hit him and recovered it, but was flagged for fair catch interference because the ball was still in the air.

[@eauhomme]

I seem to remember one where a kick receiver gave a fair catch signal but someone else caught the ball and was flagged. I don't recall if it was advanced illegally or if the fair catch itself was called illegal.

[@raulv0417]

@@eauhomme The advance is illegal, because by signaling, you're agreeing not to advance the ball at all, including your teammates. An illegal fair catch signal, though, is one made after the ball has touched the ground, from what I recall.

[@davidlocke3477]

Don't forget about illegal batting of the ball. That happened a few years ago in Chicago when a FG attempt at the end of the first half was blocked and returned to the one where it was dropped by the returner and the kicker batted the ball out the back of his own end zone.

[@yoursleepparalysisdemon1828]

[@BetleyIsland36]

Something similar to the Manning play but more egregious happen with Donavan McNabb in the Giants/Eagles week 2, 2006 game. He was under center in the 4th quarter with the game close and faked like the snap came and got called for a penalty. The announcers were baffled why he did it

[@eauhomme]

I was thinking of this play before it came up, only it was Dan Marino I saw called for it. He pumped his hands like he was catching the shotgun snap.

Because Peyton was the one who flinched. He moved his hands in a way as to suggest the ball is being snapped.

[@JouvaMoufette]

To me the illegal kicking to the back of the end zone isn't a "penalty". Like, ok, it went out of bounds back there. If it went out on its own because of legal actions, the other team would have gotten a safety anyway. I feel like a penalty that will give them status quo should be "upgraded" so to speak. He kicked it to sacrifice getting a safety over a touchdown. Other team should have gotten a touchdown from that. Or at minimum, penalty on the "kickoff" when they punt after the safety. But the defense should not be allowed to kick a fumbled ball into the back of the end zone to prevent a touchdown and get a safety as a result when a ball rolling back there on its own would have given the same result.

[@wehavethemeats4004]

Bruh what?! I had a stroke reading your comment

[@JouvaMoufette]

@@wehavethemeats4004 My point being: why should the penalty of kicking out a loose ball that's in the end zone be a safety when it's a ball that can be easily picked up by the defense for a touchdown? You'd get the same result if it rolled out on its own. A penalty should penalize. Not result in nothing different, or give a team that is receiving the penalty an advantage by actually breaking the rules. If you can get a better result by breaking the rules, your rules aren't written correctly.

[@tygrkhat4087]

@@JouvaMoufette But the rule is, if a offensive penalty occurs in their endzone, the result is a safety. The devensive team gets the points and the ball.

When I was in high school, we were playing for the division championship. It was a close game, we were down by 2 and about to get the ball back with a little over a minute left. It was 4th and 3 or 4, can't remember. They punted the ball but there was a flag. Seems one my teammates left the field to the opponents sideline. They got a first down and ran out the clock.

[@michaelfalkner1186]

DEN-SEA: A proto combination of horse collar and face mask.

[@davidroddick91]

My understanding of the rules is that, if a player, coach, trainer, or any other member of a team on the sidelines makes a tackle, the ball carrier is awarded a touchdown, whether he would have scored one or not. If a fan or someone not a member of the other team does it, the player is awarded a touchdown only if the officials determine that he would have scored one if not for the tackle. As far as I know, this is the only way the officials can award a team a touchdown. That last one was BS. Manning did not move his hands enough to draw the defence offside.

What made the snap at 1:15 illegal? The snapper hit *himself* in the tush with the ball, but since it didn't touch "another* lineman, I thought it would be legal.

Starting and stopping a snap is illegal. They killed the play rather than letting it play out like a fumble because it never made it to the quarterback.

I've seen numerous quarterbacks kick the ball over the end line when chasing a bad snap deep in their own end zone. Not that rare. And while it is a penalty, it's effectively not - fall on the ball or get tackled trying to run it back out, it's a safety anyway.
