The penalty sucked because it would set the Bills up with the ball on the Titans 2 yard line with the 1st play of the game. Very costly off sides by Easely. A touchdown there would have changed the game.

Posted this elsewhere but---- Tasker specifically said the rule is that if your foot touches over the line before the kick you are offsides- they ran the replay- froze the frame showing his leg ahead of the line- when they resumed the clip his foot then hit - after the kick-

 

if Tasker is right, he was not offsides. As an aside, what bug does Tasker have up his hiney about the Bills?

 

On the replay, Tasker circled the wrong guy. Watch Easley at the bottom of the screen and his foot is over the line and down.

Foot has to actually touch turf off sides to be off sides by rule. Didn't happen. Can cross the plane as long as the ball is kicked before foot actually touches turf over the line.

 

Refs retaliating for Bills players mouthing off in previous game?

See above. Tasker called attention to the wrong player on the replay. Easley's foot was down over the line. He was 6 feet from the side judge.

No you are not wrong!!

 

I think that you are a whiny little baby because you are harping on a correctly called penalty and I'll believe you are a whiny little baby until someone proves me wrong.

 

Still true through!!

 

Nice research. Thanks. I was wrong and admit it.

Yea - the closest I found was an article that said "normally not called unless a full step across." Might've been a rule of thumb he was once taught.

Or the way the refs back in Steve's day called things. Ah, the good old days...
