...I am learning more about football. I know most of the calls, how scoring is done, etc. But my poor dad. For about 2 hours of the ride home last night, I asked question after question after question.

I learned about how the formation of offense goes, and who does what.
Center, guards, tackles, tight ends, split ends, QB, RB, and WR.

I learned about the defensive formation too! Defensive tackles, defensive ends, LB, safeties, and cornerbacks.

And I noticed there was a group that came out between the offense going out and the defense coming in that comes out for punts and stuff. I learned those are special teams.

I even know more about what position who plays on the team.

I think I about drove him nuts...lol. He got a call and was like, "No, I'm glad you called. My daughter's grilling me about football. Now I can take a break from answering questions."

I still have a lot to learn, but I'm getting there.

Yeah, I know it.

I think I started off the questioning by asking if everyone who plays offense were considered offensive linemen. He looked at me, and I think he knew then what he was in for. lol

I think the most unusual rule in football is the rule that says that in the last two minutes of a tie game, you can choose to attempt an undefended 50-yard field goal if your biggest player can knock over the other team's biggest player during a timeout.

If someone came over during a timeout and tried to knock someone down, I may be wrong, but I would think that would be considered unsportsman-like conduct. Is that a 15 yard penalty?

If you fair catch a punt, you have the option of trying an undefended field goal, in which the defense has to pull their people off the field.

I've never seen it done in my 30+ years of fandom, but the announcers will mention occasionally that it's an option.

4th and Goal Team A has the ball on Team B's 10 yard line with 0:05 left on the clock in the 4th qtr.

Score is 17-10 B team is up.

Play resulted in an incomplete pass, game over, but there are 3 flags on the field.

1 - Against Team B - Defensive Pass interference in the Endzone by a DB
2 - Against Team B - Offsides
3 - Against Team A - Unsportsmanlike Conduct after the play for taunting

I think they're all against the defense, so it's not offsetting.

You take the worst of the penalties that's not a personal foul or unsportsmanlike conduct, which is the defensive pass interference. That places the ball at the one.

You then apply the unsportsmanlike, which is half the distance to the goal.

Since the game can't end on a defensive penalty, the offense will get one play with no time on the clock, starting at the 1/2 yard line.

Actually no. The unsportsman like was on the Offense after the play. So the PI puts the ball at the one, and then you mark the ball at the 16 and play 4th down again with no time on the clock.

Oh. My bad. I read taunting and attributed it to Team B since the ball fell incomplete.

In that case...I think Iowanian is right. I think it's offsetting and you run the play again from the Line of Scrimmage. Otherwise, it gives the defense free reign to commit a penalty (e.g., personal foul) with no punishment if they see the offense commit a penalty.

But the PI and Offsides came during the play, while the UC came after the play was over... So I do not think its offsetting at that point... I think you have wat Morphius said...

As of right now we have three responses and they all have merit... We need a NFL rule junky to come in and lead us in the right direction.

To Briefly summarize:

4th and Goal from the 10th with 0:00 left on the clock (offsetting penalties)

or

1st and Goal from the 16th with 0:00 left on the clock (PI takes them to the 1, 15 yard penalty for the UC after the play puts them on the 16)

or

Game Over (offensive penalty after the play finishes the game)

Play resulted in an incomplete pass, game over, but there are 3 flags on the field.

1 - Against Team B - Defensive Pass interference in the Endzone by a D
2 - Against Team B - Offsides[

Without the Unsportsmanlike conduct after the play is dead, the offense would decline the offsides, and accept the PI, and get the ball at the 1 yard line with no time remaining on the clock, for one play.

3 - Against Team A - Unsportsmanlike Conduct after the play for taunting

Unsportsmanlike conduct, however, supercedes all other penalties, so the penalties against the D are ignored, and the game is over.

I am cracking up.

I can envision Luv2 getting home, sitting down and checking her thread. "Oh, they've been posting all evening. Lots of good advice for me here."

And then........:eek:!!!!

ROFL
I think she has been on long enough to expect that any thread will/can have at least 3 tangents.

Wow, I just wish I knew half of what you were talking about. I know UC is 15 yards. I'm not sure on the yardage of other penalties though. I know from watching the game Saturday night that if there is pass interference on a play, the offense gets the ball wherever the PI took place, if it's good for a first down, then you start at that yardage with first and ten.

1 second on the clock, 4th down and 1 from the one against the Lambs to win the Superbowl....

Which do you choose from the grill, the beer brat or the polish?

Actually a PI penalty is always a first down, basically every D penalty is basically a first down except for offsides.

If someone came over during a timeout and tried to knock someone down, I may be wrong, but I would think that would be considered unsportsman-like conduct. Is that a 15 yard penalty?
I think yeah they would get an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for leaving the sideline, but the knocking the person down on the sideline would be simple battery, and probably result in that players arrest, since it actually would have nothing to do with the game. Of course If a chiefs player were to do that at home during a raider or donx game, as long as he isn't a starter he's given a roster bonus for that activity, as well as they key to the city, and a six pack courtesy of yours truly.

Okay, but what is the yardage on some of those penalties? I know some are 5 and some are 10, etc.

Offsides-5 yards.
Defensive holding-5 yards and automatic first down.
Illegal contact-5 yards, and auto first down
PI-spot fo the foul and auto first down.
Roughing the QB-15 yards and auto first down.

These are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.
If any others come to mind, I'll post 'em.

More info:

1. If there is a double foul during a down in which there is a change of possession, the team last gaining possession may keep the ball unless its foul was committed prior to the change of possession.

2. If double foul occurs after a change of possession, the defensive team retains the ball at the spot of its foul or dead ball spot.

3. If one of the fouls of a double foul involves disqualification, that player must be removed, but no penalty yardage is to be assessed.

4. If the kickers foul during a kickoff, punt, safety kick, or field-goal attempt before possession changes, the receivers will have the option of replaying the down at the previous spot (offsetting fouls), or keeping the ball after enforcement for its fouls.
