Hurdling on the field goal attempt.


Recommended Posts

I just watched the replay of Hauschka's miss from 49 yards.  The Patriot, #58,  hurdled the line and jumped in his face.  Is this legal?  McDermott seemed to have a problem with this.

 

Here's the rule:  Running forward and leaping across the line of scrimmage in an obvious attempt to block a field goal or Try Kick, unless the player was in a stationary position on the line of scrimmage when the ball was snapped. A player who is behind the line of scrimmage before, or at the snap, may run forward and leap, provided he does not cross the line of scrimmage or land on players.

It’s not. Missed call by refs

Kind of like the miss with the 3rd INT where Zay was out of bounds touching the ball which made the whole play dead before he gained possession...

 

Both the refs AND the replay missed that...how can you feel good about replay when they don't even know the rules they are trying to enforcing

I personally like the Missed Facemask on Allen RIGHT IN FRONT of the One official with eyes locked on the QB. 
 

or the three missed intentional groundings from Brady in front of the SAME official

I wouldn't have called that one either.

And Josh sure as hell shouldn't be trying to call it while the play is still live.

I only saw two they missed,

But they also called one on him I thought was a weak call.

so you wouldn’t call an obvious penalty. 
 

so does Kraft treat you to run and tugs too. 
 

does Brady get that missed Allen call?  YEP

 

does Allen get called on this intentional groundings?  Yep.

You are just making that up. There is no evidence Brady gets any more calls for roughing the passer.

Facemask is a judgement call now when they got rid of the incidental call.  I think it should have been called but I can see why they didn’t.

Pretty classy way to talk at a guy just because he disagrees with you about a football penalty

Cowboy up and quit being one of them; it's beneath you.

Just providing the link to the roughing the passer penalties and qb that benefits. I’m surprised fitz tops the list. Brady is 7th.

Brady gets that call everytime. Been shown and been proven.

so let me ask did Brady get fined for criticizing Officials like every player does? When he tweeted about it or no?

McD's gotta call NY. This officiating favoritism on behalf of NE is getting over the top. We've dealt with it for nearly 20 years. No owner (especially Kraft) should be allowed on an officiating committee. It's a conflict of interest. Yesterday was the last straw. One of those 3 international groundings was so blatant I said to myself their never going to let us near this protected franchise. 2 critical offsetting plays. Even Gene Steratore came on after the Zay int. and said the refs missed the call.  How much longer does this @#$% have to go on? Do we have to wait till TB retires and the Pats become irrelevant before the NFL shuts off the officiating valve?

Not a penalty I watched play like 30 times the night of the game because I was super pissed that it wasn't called. The player didn't run more than a yard to jump the line nor did he land on anyone or leverage his jump with another player. It was totally clean.

These "missed" calls always seem to go NE's way.  Why didn't they "miss" the phantom penalty that wiped out the personal foul when Allen got his head nearly taken off?

 

They also "missed" Brady's second intentional grounding.

I honestly have no idea what he said or whether he got fined.

That stuff holds zero interest for me.

As someone else said, not a missed call. He was on the line and leaped over. Completely legal play based on the rule. 

 

What am I missing?  Or better yet how are you translating the rule?

There were at least 2-3 times it seemed like Bready could have been called for intentional grounding as well...

I take it as the part you can’t do it unless stationary on the line. He was stationary on the line. 

 

But i am not smart. So I could very well be wrong.

For it to be illegal, he' got to be running forward when he jumps over the line.

If he just jumps over  from a standstill, it's not a penalty.

I'm not convinced that he was running forward.

If he was just lined up there and jumped from a relative standstill, it's not a penalty

He clearly leaped over the LOS. Penalty should have resulted.

Read the rule. He can’t cross the line of scrimmage , he can leap up in place to attempt to block the kick .

I know the rule. I think you need to read it

Here's the rule:  Running forward and leaping across the line of scrimmage....

 

He was not running forward.

It was not a penalty.

Was he running and leaping in place? 

 

And for anyone that thinks Tom doesn't get that Facemask call.

Read the last sentence and maybe you change your mind. It seems pretty obvious. I don’t care if you do or not, it’s just pretty clearly stated in the OPs post. The sentence you highlight isn’t the key phrase here. If I hear from say, Gene Steratore that the meaning is something other than what I see here, I’d believe that.

You are saying you haven't heard of his widely covered Twitter complaint about the number of holding penalties, suspiciously immediately followed by his O-line of backups not getting holding penalties against the dominant Bills D-line?
