      It was a great play call. Very bad execution and end result.
      Patriots had 0-coverage so all receivers were on man coverage with no players helping deep.
      Successful pass? Everyone would be raving about how great that call was. "Patriots went all in to stop the run and they passed for TD!!!"
      Incomplete pass? It would have been just a "gutsy call" by coach, trying to pass when defense sent the house to stop the run. They still had two plays to go. Then just run on the next play.

    When the chains are set, the chain clip is clipped on the back side of the next solid line, which is the 50-yard line. There is a piece of tape that shows the middle of the chain.
    The front edge of the ball is touching the 50-yard line, which needs to flip to the other side.
    Even if the chain stakes are on the 45-yard lines, it still has to change places because the chain clip has to be on the back side of the 50-yard line going the other way.

  • @TheAlfrulz

    I was never going to think of such a scenario before you introduced this.
    But when you started off with 1994, I immediately thought of a Rams Saints game.
    The Saints punt the ball, it bounces into the end zone, takes a miraculous bounce just before the end line and stays in the field. All the players (and the broadcast crew) turn their attention elsewhere to switch units. All except for Robert Bailey who races over, grabs the ball, and goes 100+ yards for a TD unopposed.
    They changed the rules soon after where a punted ball is immediately declared dead if it bounces in the end zone. So this play can NEVER happen again.
    Here's the play.

  • @Bill_Woo
    @Bill_Woo 9 дней назад +10

    I have seen (in the NFL, before I abandoned it, or they me, in 2020) the refs simply turn the ball backwards, flipping the nose, on the 50 during a quarter change. I imagine this has been quite a frequent event.
    But the reason I don't have the biggest balled channel on those interwebs is because I have never, never paid attention to the chains, whether they ran 45-45 or anything else. There are men, and there are the rest of us.

    • @Bill_Woo
      @Bill_Woo 9 дней назад

      As to the play search, how about "5 or less results" minus everything in the "4 or less results".
      There is one deadly catch, though - you need "5 and 0 inches".
      Unfortunately stats don't record 4th and 2 inches to go. Or a 2 inch touchdown run. Even though everyone knows it is the dingaling size of Ricardo Lockette.

    Back when I officiated HS football, this happened to me -- TWICE IN THE SAME GAME! Yes, you read that right. It happened twice. Both the 1st and 3rd quarters ended with the ball on the 50, something I had told the chain crew before the game was never going to happen. The only difference between my situation and the one you call out here is that in both of my quarter-enders, it was 1st and 10, so the chains did have to flip, but the down indicator stayed put. For the rest of my officiating career, it never happened again.

    The 50 flipper happened to me this past year in a high school game in Georgia. In our association the deep judge on that sideline is responsible for the flip instead of the short wing. For my particular situation, it was the second quarter of the game. 2nd and 5 from the 50. I didn’t have to move the chains at all, the down box moved maybe 3 inches from one side of the line to the other and the ball went from one hash to the other, but my job was easy 😂 second half I’m on the home side so that meant I didn’t have to do anything at the end of the third quarter either.

    No, if the ball is on the 1-yard line, the chain gang only have to go 98 yards, because the difference between the field and midfield is 49 yards multiplied by 2. Imagine if the field is measured as whole 100, and you are on the one, going to the other side one yard line, would take you 98 yard, if you did walk 99 yards, you would be at the end-zone line.
