The Fake Punt

Mike Pereira: Hate to add full to the fire, but some of my followers have pointed out that SD was in an illegal defensive formation on the missed FG. They are correct. SD had more than 6 players on one side of the center on the line of scrimmage. That is a new rule and a foul.

SD also got a letter from the NFL after the first game of the season saying the call against the Texans was wrong and shouldn't of been made. It all evened out

I thought it looked unbalanced....no doubt to try to overload one side of their line and hopefully sneak a guy in for the block.

Oh well. Not gonna apologize for winning.

Fuck everyone crying about the refs, the Chargers have been screwed too and as noted above, it all evens out.

Boltimore, it was 4th and 2 from fairly deep in our own end. It was short snap to Weddle and he ran into the line into a pile right at the 30 (where he needed to reach to get a first down). In the process, his helmet came off and he may have been ruled down, but our guys appeared to push him forward past the 30 and a KC player took the ball and ran away from the pile and down the sideline for what looked for a second like it might be a KC TD. But the play was called dead and the ball was miraculously spotted with the nose of the ball just touching the 30 yard line. First down was signaled with no measurement because at that location no measurement is required as it was first down from a touchback at the beginning of the series. They showed Reid chirping on the sideline, but there was no booth review. Even if there had been a review, Weddle was in the middle of a big pile, so I am not sure what anyone could have seen.

Wait, the year isnt over. WTF?

Hey, how about all the holding the back up OLine was getting away with?

Pereira hasnt commented on that

I think it was a bad call. Shouldn't take that gamble at home in a game you are supposed to win.

We got lucky too that the refs called it like they did.

I love it because it all worked but i think it was stupid and we got lucky. We are a team of destiny. This was out 4th and 29 game
