The first false start was an obvious attempt to get the 1st down from the off-sides penalty. I was at the game and could audibly hear Brees issue at least 3 audible snap calls.


a hard snap count is not considered by the nfl to be an obvious attempt to draw the opponent offsides.

He has to simulate an actual snap. So if he pulls back like he has the ball, then it would be a penalty. I just rewatched it on NFL Rewind (end of the 1st quarter), and it is a ridiculous call. He flinches, but he makes no drastic or obvious movements that simulate a snap

Now the second one was bullcrap. It was probably due to Brees saying what he thought to the ref after the call. The second FS penalty was a flag-happy, megalomaniac way of saying "I'm in control here."



yep. If that is a penalty, then the offsides on us in the 2nd quarter is BS
