Here's a microsecond before the snap, before Ford loads up. Assuming all good here:



Here's Ford loading up:



This is literally as close to the actual snap as I can get:



Here's the exact moment the ball was snapped The ball is not quite touching the yard marker - a few inches inside. Doesn't look like Ford jumped or was in the NZ:



However like one frame later Ford's hand is across the line, which I bet is what the side judge keyed on:



I think Ford was so fast it literally fooled him. Bullshit. Keep the flag in your pocket unless it's obvious.

She's strattling the LOS, IIRC. So he probably is lined up in the NZ

From the top view though, it's obvious he's not.

If she's standing on the LOS, he's in the neutral zone.

He's not though. I should have taken a screen shot. Hang on.

Look at the 2nd picture here. His head is across the line where she's standing hoveing the LOS

That was at the actual moment of the snap. His head isn't any farther forward in the 2nd screen as it was in the 1st.

The yard line is not the same as the LOS.

The yard line is not the same as the LOS. Her straddle shows where the LOS is.

I'm pretty sure the refs are trained to not throw the flag when it's this close.

The NFL is turning into this because they got sued and ****ed up.

If that's offsides then Derrick Thomas isn't in the hall of fame. His legendary jump is responsible for most of his sacks. It appears he's offsides but he's not which is what this ref probably thought. The NFL needs to issue an apology.
