What? Not true at all.The ref only tells you if you are are not on the line of scrimmage. He doesn’t tell you if the formation is ok.
Correct but doesn’t say hey you have five people off the line of scrimmage.What? Not true at all.
You look at the ref and tell him if you are supposed to be on or off the line. He then tells you if you are on or off the line.
So if you say "I am on, I am on" and he disagrees, they tell you "you are not on yet" or they hand signal you.
Thanks for wearing your sign.but the offensive game plan and execution might be the worst we have ever seen
The photo you are referring to is of him officiating a Michigan v. Northwestern game. It's a stretch to say that means he is some Michigan fan.Jonh Wiercinski was an official in that game. He attended Western Michigan and his facebook profile has a picture of Michigan football. How the hell does any conference allow a person with any affiliation to any team officiate that teams game? Absolutely irresponsible. It happens for every team like when Clete Blakeman would officiate Husker games. It should never happen.
Of course it is. How convenient of that to happen. He sure looked like a Michigan fan this past Saturday. Him and his crew of dumbasses.The photo you are referring to is of him officiating a Michigan v. Northwestern game. It's a stretch to say that means he is some Michigan fan.
Well the formation does tell the defense who are eligible receivers. In the photo above we literally have 7 eligible receivers (the QB is eligible) , the RB, TE, 3 WR, the uncovered tackle at the top. How does a defense know who to cover?I know why it's in place, but it's just a lame penalty. If you think having one of the receivers on the left side with one ( #5 in the above video) placed a yard back in the "backfield" is a huge advantage, you're an idiot. The defense usually has the best athletes on the field, having a "fifth" player lined up anywhere in the backfield is not going to be detrimental to any defense, they can figure that out pretty easily, dumb ***.
Disagree. The game was tight and officiating made a critical difference several times.Officiating has been bad, but we would be losing this game either way. D has played well, special teams hasn’t been abhorrent, but the offensive game plan and execution might be the worst we have ever seen, outside of our first play from scrimmage. That’s where we are losing this game, on the offensive side of the ball.
