Message: [QUOTE="Orangeman, post: 2480468, member: 972"] Not enough information...he's clearly about a half yard behind the tackle but from this angle you can't tell. There's a couple things...what are the refs letting both teams get away with in this game? And, usually the outside WR will check with the referee, especially in a big game like this. If the ref nods you're good, unlikely to throw a flag. It's a known courtesy since they're 40 yards from the ball and that's not an easy look down the field, etc. Happens all the time. You guys did just fine with the refs this post-season: 6 penalties for 52 yards in three games vs. 22 for 195 yards for your opponents. AND, as keeping with my overall thesis, of the 9 flags that WERE thrown on the Patriots this post-season, 5 came on Special Teams (1 on Offense, 3 on Defense). That's how they like it, no 1st & 20s, etc etc [/QUOTE]
