You're missing the point, there isn't a cop that would pull anyone over for doing 36 in a 35 and write them a ticket. They don't exist and if they did, in the worse case, they would give them a warning saying, hey, I'm a letter of the law type of cop, if i clock you going 36 again, I will probably write you a ticket.

Of course 99.99% of cops would never write such a ticket, but it's within their right to do so, and everyone knows it.

and I think we are progressing to that point... every week there is a different issue, the problem though(which is good for the NFL) is that for every 'issue' there's roughly 50% that were affected negatively and 50% positively...

Great, so now you understand Andy's frustration. You can't have .01%, 1, of the officials making that call without a warning.

Also the cops from the same department watched someone break into your house and were like "doesn't look like anything to me" a week earlier

Spot on

It's ****ing bullshit to not call it all game, not correct it, then call it in that spot.

Except you can, because it happened.

Yes, thus the anger from Andy. It was wrong and not consistent. Sure they can do it... they can throw a flag on any play for something. Glad you finally realize the fact it was BS.

Fact of the matter is that Toney was offside. Whether it was called the previous 5 times he gave an opportunity for a flag to be thrown or not.

It's not in the rule book, hey, if I'm too ****ing stupid to see that I'm lined up past the football, warn me first.

Do not give the officials the opportunity to throw flags, and they won't throw the flags.

I've been breaking the rule all night and you said nothing about those isn't a valid excuse.

All this does now is put a Jawaan Taylor level of spotlight on all of our players on the line now.

Don't be surprised if this is something that is called again down the stretch.

And in our case we know the cop is the most racist, angry, incompetent officer in town. We knew this going in and, if anything, knew we needed to avoid dealing with them at all costs.

Exactly. Haven't we all watched our speed while driving through some small town where the cops are known to be stickler assholes? Cheffers is Rosco P. Coltrane and Buford T. Justice rolled into one.

i understand the frustration of refs letting something go all game and then calling it late. that being said, is it possible the ref didn't notice this earlier in the game? seems like a hard thing to miss, but we know incompetence is a safe assumption here. maybe in his mind he wasn't letting it go.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Also these 3 from Cheffers games within the last month… yet no flags?

Still pissed.

Did someone post an image of Toney's alignment before the ball was picked up by the Center? I really would like to see that image.
