Saw this from a few boards...did the Refs mess up? - Page 3

I remember the call but don't remember something out of place...here is a post from another board...

Quote:

So I was watching the Kansas City/Denver game in my bedroom and there's about 6-7 minutes left in the game. It's KC ball, 2nd and 2 and Tony Richardson runs outside for about 7 yards and there's a flag.. holding on #81, Chris Horn for KC.. 10 yard penalty.. so now it's 2nd and 12. So then they run a play with Larry Johnson and he gains about 4 yards.. and then all of a sudden it's 1st and 10.. Did I miss something here seriously or did anyone else happen to notice this if it infact happened?

Did this happen?

Huh?.....What?

Actually, I think that speculation might be spot-on.

The refs sucked ass today-the only call they got right is the one overturned by the replay in the 4th quarter. It was not even close and was a ripoff they even called it for the Donkeys to begin with. The refs so love the Donkeys, it is an embarrasseament to officiating around the league. The Refs totally SUCKED!!!!!!!!!!!

So what you're trying to say is that it was a spot foul, right?

Ultra Peanut · 12-05-2005, 01:22 AM

No, no, no... it was a spot foul.

Man, the Donkey faithful are reaching deep to explain away this loss...

So, the feeling that I'm getting from the consensus of the Planet posting on this thread is that it was a spot foul. Well, we really ought not to be fouling those spots.

There was a spot. It fouled Lynch. Then the spot ran over and defecated on Shanny's shoe. It was a spot foul, committed by a foul spot.

I was confused too, then I realized it must've been from the spot of the foul. How come holding usually results in 10 yards and replay of the down but in this case it didn't?

It did result in 10 yards and replay of the down. However, since the foul occurred past the line of scrimage, it got stepped off from there. If it occurs behind the line of scrimage (where most offensive holds occur), then it gets marked off from the line of scrimage. What I'm not sure about is how they do it if the hold takes place downfield, and the ball doesn't reach the spot of the foul. I guess in that case, they'd mark it off from where the ball is spotted? Or do they call that something other than holding? Does the foul have to happen behind the line or behind the ball carrier to be called holding?
