However the remedy to that would be to make the rule what it used to be: you can cross the LOS but the offense must remain set until the ball is snapped, or until contact is made with an offensive player. It was a slippery slope when they started with this "unabated to the QB" stuff and leading to the "neutral zone entry made the offense move" stuff. But OL having to hold their discipline would hurt the offense so no chance they go back to that standard.

I'm surprised that isn't used more as a tactic by the defenses for 4th and puss. Do a "false start" of your own without crossing into the neutral zone and see if you can get the offense to jump on the defensive jump, which would be a false start. Next level stuff, like Reid faking 4th and puss and running a play.

Troy, you tool. The tackle moved before the snap. They HAD to shut the play down at that point. If it had been snapped with defense in the NZ before offense reacts, then the play would be allowed to continue. But since he moved it was deemed he was caused to move by the defense and the play is dead, 5 yards for NZ infraction. Replay down.

In extreme cases, the coaches change the player's number. Looking at you, Ken Jones. Edit: Luckily for the Bills red is part of their color scheme, so according to the Louis Vuitton Rule red gloves would be properly accessorized.

Jeez, that hit knocked all the blue from the left side to the right side of his helmet...

I think it might have been mentioned that the first AFL championship to qualify for the inter-league championship against the NFL in 1966, was Bills versus Chiefs with the winner facing the Green Bay Packers. The visiting team had a resounding victory that day, New Years Day 1967, in War Memorial Stadium over dere on Masten Ave.

What is better is the adjustments made in game. They got gashed on the ground the first drive especially trying to play a gap-integrity read-and-react, which failed spectacularly when someone (you know who) would fill the wrong gap. I understand the thought, if it's a pass you need to contain Lamar so you can't just shoot upfield. Gradually it became apparent that to stop the Ravens you need to attack the Ravens. You can't let them rip off 3 and 4 yards as a default with the occasional 12 or 14 for sustained drives. Once they committed to attacking and getting negative plays to put the Ravens behind the sticks, it made it tough on them. Kudos on the broadcast crew for pointing that out. The interior D started worrying less about occupying blocks and more on beating blocks and getting upfield which is where guys like Oliver and Phillips have talent. The Ravens did make a few plays on long 3rd down conversions but generally the Ravens have plays planned to go 4 yards that might go 15 if they catch you correctly, but not as many plays to gain 15 as designed.
