Missed Call on Final Chiefs Drive

[KC Warpaint 3,234]

Missed Call??

Someone help me out, i thought that once the QB moves out of the pocket then all bets are off as long as the lineman does not catch the pass because they were

never ruled to be eligable before the play...am i missing something

That's how I understand it as well., but I don't know for sure.

The refs were terrible.  The bogus holding call on Allegretti, the P.I. calls, and the way the Bills were allowed to hold against Jones and Nnadi are prime examples.

I usually don't complain about the refs but the wife noticed it too.  Some really bad calls and non-calls.

Some one posted this:

 

“Per the expanded neutral zone rule none of the lineman were illegally down field. Line of scrimmage was the 34. Farthest blocker has his back foot on the 37 at the time the ball is put into the air therefore it is a legal play according to rule 2-28-1“
 

no idea if it’s true or not

I saw that comment but the cited article is for college and HS rules.  This is all I found in the nfl rulebook.

 

SECTION 3 INELIGIBLE PLAYER DOWNFIELD
ARTICLE 1. LEGAL AND ILLEGAL ACTS. On a scrimmage play during which a legal forward pass is thrown, an ineligible offensive player, including a T-formation quarterback, is not permitted to move more than one yard beyond the line of scrimmage before the pass has been thrown. 
Item 1. Legally Downfield. An ineligible player is not illegally downfield if, after initiating contact with an opponent within one yard of the line of scrimmage during his initial charge: 

(a) he moves more than one yard beyond the line while legally blocking or being blocked by an opponent

(b) after breaking legal contact with an opponent more than one yard beyond the line of scrimmage, he remains stationary until 
a forward pass is thrown

(c) after losing legal contact with an opponent more than one yard beyond the line of scrimmage, he is forced behind the line of 
scrimmage by an opponent, at which time he is again subject to normal blocking restrictions for an ineligible offensive player.

Note: If an ineligible offensive player moves beyond the line while legally blocking or being blocked by an opponent, an eligible offensive player may catch a pass between them and the line of scrimmage.

Item 2. Illegally Downfield. An ineligible offensive player is illegally downfield if:

(a) he moves more than one yard beyond the line of scrimmage without contacting an opponent

(b) after losing contact with an opponent within one yard of the line of scrimmage, he advances more than one yard beyond the 
line of scrimmage

(c) after losing contact with an opponent more than one yard beyond the line of scrimmage, he continues to move toward his 
opponent’s goal line.

Penalty: For ineligible offensive player downfield: Loss of five yards from the previous spot.

ARTICLE 2. AFTER PASS IS THROWN. After the ball leaves the passer’s hand, ineligible pass receivers can advance more than one yard beyond the line of scrimmage, or beyond the position reached by their initial charge, provided that they do not block or contact a defensive player, who is more than one yard beyond the line of scrimmage, until the ball is touched by a player of either team. Such prior blocking and/or contact is pass interference if it occurs in the vicinity of where the ball is thrown. See 8-3-1-Note above for exception when blocker maintains continuous contact.

So after the ref couldn't figure out that the Bills should be penalized 10 sec. for stopping the clock, they would understand all that in the above post?  😁😁

Seems like spirit of the law vs. letter of the law.

We've been on the wrong end of so many ticky-tack calls or no bad no-calls between this week and last week that I don't really care.

[KCSLC2008 606]

Ehh, they called a holding on our two point conversion a few years ago in the playoffs when I’m not convinced they would’ve called it for every other team. The Steelers would probably have gotten a field goal anyway before OT but still.

My wife noticed them as well. She kept asking me...... I don't see anything wrong with that, why is there a flag?
