It makes absolute perfect sense because I am 100% correct.

Should it not be First and goal at 16. This is what he is asking.


I know exactly what he is asking and I answered the question. No, it definitely should not be first and goal. The refs were right in this instance. It should have been 1st and 10 at the 16 yard line.

But saying "new set of downs had not been established yet" is bull shite.


No, it isn't.

Giving the team the first and 10 negates the penalty of 15 yds you just gave them.

Essentially what happened is the team got a first down 9 yards closer than the previous play after getting a 15 yd penalty.

We did not stop the first down after that at any rate.
