what was the delay of game call on the punt

shite I'm watching the game at home and still trying to figure that out.

Any more info on this?

According to my friend who read this on twitter or something:

"If the defense performs an uncommon action to try & draw the offensive offsides it is a delay of game on D" [sic].

I don't know what an uncommon action is.
Sounds like a chicken shite call to me.

I have watched football for 20 years and I can never ever recall a delay of game penalty called on the defense occuring at the beginning of the play and not actually causing the play clock to expire.

Only example I can think of is a defensive player not letting a player up after tackling them or moving (kicking or throwing) the ball after the play ends.

These refs really suck bawls

Like I said before, are we going to get an apology from the referees or NFL?


It's a conspiracy. It's all because Drew held those practices!

this is one of worst officiated game I have ever seen




Amen to that.

Ive seen it called on a defensive player for yelling hut before.

Isn't that a unsportsmanlike conduct penalty?

Prob tried to simulate the snap of the with some sort of a motion to draw the other guy offsides. That is against the rules and is classified as a "delay of game" penalty. Sean Payton discussed this himself and had no issues with the ruling or existence of this rule.

If that, the bs PI call on the goal line, and horrible call on Devery would have cost us the game, people would be caring more.

I've watched plenty of football and have never seen that call. Swung momentum and kept us from giving the knock out punch.

The amount of ticky-tack flags in that game took some of the enjoyment out of it. I kinda chalk it up to the team playing from behind in the NFL tends to get the calls. Seems to happen a lot and may be a subtle NFL strategy to keep games closer.
