If he asked the side judge if he was on the line and he said yes, how far he is off the line is irrelevant.

More importantly, though, Philly won. That's what matters in the end. It's not semantics; it's math. The referee was in error. Regardless, it probably wouldn't have changed the outcome, and it helped Philly win. Well since he doesn’t have to be on the line , just the helmet lined up with the centers hips, you are wrong, let it go...

The WR checked with him on it. Let it go. It's really just as simple as this. If you look from overhead, it's an illegal formation. But the WR signals to the ref that he is on the line, if the ref agrees, he is good. If the ref didn't think he was on the line, the WR simply takes a step forward and all is good. This really is a non issue as it's a judgement call by the ref. The thing that blows my mind is that a WR is given a couple steps lining up, but KB's toe appears to be a milometer of the ground against the **PAtsie's and the call is reversed.
