Sen. John Blutarsky Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 4th quart Pats down 14-0 Pats throw an illegal forward pass on 1st down, supposed to be yards +loss of down, took the yards but was still first down on the field. Pats ran 3 more plays, should have given up the ball, got an extra down on which Brady was sacked and fumbled. Just wondering if anyone saw this since it probably didn't get much play since New England didn't score and Brady didn't get hurt. Wouldn't that be the karma equalizer of all time? Brady getting seriously injured on an extra down they shouldn't have had in the first place??? The universe's mass conspiracy almost backfired!

Koufax Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 I didn't see the game and don't know the specifics of this series, but every time in my personal experience I have tried to point out "extra down" stuff (which I have done) I am usually corrected on a nuance, rule, or circumstance that I didn't realize.

mrjsbu96 Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 they didn't get an extra down - the penalty is only 5 yards because the forward passes occurred BEHIND the line of scrimmage. had they been past the LofS then it would also have called for a loss of down.
