You do learn something new every day - you can interfere within one yard of the line of scrimmage?

How have I never known that?  What the hell purpose does that serve??

Richard Sherman knocked Robert Woods on his butt by the end zone at the end of the game when we played Seattle in a night game a few years ago.  Same type of play except the ball was not thrown to Woods.

It's a stupid rule Imo. Chances are the defender wouldnt have time to realize the reciever is only within 1 yard of the line. If a team had a 3rd and 1 or 4th and 1, why would a defense not just blow up every reciever immediately? It's legal right? The rule seems stupid

Ball was tipped, he was behind the LOS.

 

common knowledge, no penalty. 

 

The ball was not tipped.  Not according to the announcers or the Fox ref.  I know that rule.

No penalty. ReWatch the game and see for yourself. 

 

I am not rewatching that game for anything.

 

 I'm 99% sure you are wrong on it being tipped.  I'm 100% sure you are wrong that he was behind the LOS.  Darryl Johnston thought he was well past one yard away, and then did say on the replay, he was wrong, he was about one yard off the LOS.

I’m sure you’ll see the play sooner or later, when you do, think of me. ?

No tipped ball and no penalty within 1 yard of the LoS. 

 

Thank you.

The ball was tipped, I re-watched it multiple times. If you need proof re-watch the play.

 

I’m sure you’ll see it sonner than later, when you do, think of me. ?

 

It doesn't even matter if it was tipped, per my new understanding, as long as it was within one yard of the LOS.  That's what I'm talking about.

We were pissed about this play. We rewound it several times to make sure the call was accurate. The call was accurate. Reciever was behind the LOS when contacted and ball was tipped by a D Lineman.

It was not “clearly” tipped but it would have been questioned. We know how that usually goes for us. I’d guess yes. 

 

What are the odds that the Patriots known this and ALWAYS throw the ball 2-3 yards (or even 13 inches) past the LOS?

You're not right about this.  Ball wasn't tipped and the receiver was just beyond the LOS.

The ball MAY have been tipped, and he was almost exactly a yard past the LOS, as I saw it.

It was the league’s way of not saying “ you can longer chuck a WR ever”. Remember , this used to be allowed all the way down the field as recently as the 70’s. It’s part of the reason why QBs have put up pinball numbers .

 

But not when the ball was in the air, was it?

If the ball was tipped, the ref would have announced that there was no interfence for that reason, as we’ve seen countless times over the years.  Instead he announced there was no interference because the receiver was within one yard of the line of scrimmage.

That works both ways too. A lot of teams do the pick play on offense within one yard and they can't call offensive pass interference

 

Every decent offence uses this on most passing downs, watch how the Pats do it all the time for their benefit

 

Bills fans cry it’s an illegal pick because Buffalo hasn’t bother implementing it at all

Geeez people the ruling was as the OP pointed out! Apparently...you can hit the receiver within one yard of the line of scrimmage. While the rule seems ridiculous I’m guessing it exists so that it’s not ruled pass interference if the defense is contacting a receiver who’s actually really just blocking and the QB happens to throw the ball towards him. But...in this case it didn’t really seem to fit the INTENT of the rule. The receiver was clearly running a route, with some separation, and the defender purposely ran into him before the ball arrived. IMHO it’s another rule that needs tweaking.

the Bills plan to get to using this rule to their advantage by 2030

Jam but he hit his hip, didn't jam him at the line, hit his hip and knocked him kind of sideways.

contact is contact within 1 yard.   

 

The two hits to Peterman's head that were not called, those mattered more IMO than this.

Not sure how either one mattered more than this, this play was a pick six. Bump and run is getting your hand on the receivers shoulder pad/chest and bumping him, not knocking his body sideways by hitting his hip, IMO this was different.

It doesn't matter.
