    KILL ME NOW.

     

    The day will come when there is NFL on every day/night of the week...and the players' health will be the least of the league's concerns.

     

    And they will make it an international sport, if they can.

     

     

    Both of these are definitely what the NFL is going for. They keep adding days to test it out. Black Friday game this year. Wednesday game next year. And they are determined to shove the international thing down our throats.

    The line of scrimmage was the 49 yard line.

     

    2nd & 10 at BUF 49

    (1:12 - 4th) (Shotgun) P.Mahomes pass deep right to T.Kelce to BUF 24 for 25 yards. Lateral to K.Toney for 24 yards, TOUCHDOWN NULLIFIED by Penalty. PENALTY on KC-K.Toney, Offensive Offside, 5 yards, enforced at BUF 49 - No Play.

     

    The official is straddling the line and the yard marker is on the blue tv line.

    Toney's foot is not past the line of scrimmage.

    If the call was Offside,  just what is the NFL definition?

     

    If any part of you is in the neutral zone, you are offside. The center is the only person allowed to be in the neutral zone, which is an imaginary strip the width of the ball and extending from sideline to sideline. 
     

    The exact definition, from the NFL rule book, is:

     

    SECTION 20 - OFFSIDE

    A player is Offside when any part of his body or his person is in the Neutral Zone, or is beyond his free kick line, or fair catch kick line when the ball is put in play, unless he is a holder of a placekick for a free kick (6-1-3-b-1) or fair catch kick (11-4-3), or a kicker (6-1-3-b-2). The snapper is offside if any part of his body is beyond the neutral zone. The kicker is not offside unless his kicking foot is beyond his Restraining Line when the ball is kicked.
