Question

I don't understand the play where Ayers caught that third down pass (and then after he already had the first down), Rogers had the illegal block... Why didn't we get credit for the first down and then have the penalty afterwards? The penalty occurred after we had the first down. Can anybody explain this play to me? Thanks.

 

I was wondering the same thing. I think it was because it was a personal foul penalty, which negated the play. Had it been holding, I think they mark the penalty from the spot of the foul and we still have a first down. Not positive about that though.

 

good question
i haven't the FFI but thought the same at that time
but again
i never watch football

 

we did get credit for yardage gained as the next play was 3rd and 11

with the way the officiating has been lately it was probably a mistake

 

That was such a BS call. Such a soft sport now it makes me sad.

 

if Rogers block was a crack back block, why wasnt Floyd's block in the New England game a week earlier......oh wait, I think I answered my own question when I said New England.

 

THANKS HINES WARD!!!!!!!!

 

I absolutely LOVED that block though. The Dolphins DB was just about to catch that slow white boy and BOOM!!!!!

 

Good thoughts, thanks all!
