I am confused so the Eagles tried a hard count to draw Dallas offsides in 4th and 10. Offsides is only a 5 yard penalty. Were they planing to do it twice?
Like offsides isn't an automatic first down!

Just wondering

What’s the catch?
It’s $6.99 per month.
Will I be able to watch all games of X team if I live in the same state where they’re from?
This is too cheap to be true.
I also see an option to get Red Zone, but no clear description of what that is. It will make it $14.99 a month if I get both.
Is this the cheapest way to watch NFL games without string or Paramount?

Has any player ever gotten a personal foul for doing something against their own team? Like taunting, unsportsmanlike, or unnecessary roughness?
I would guess taunting and unsportsmanlike would probably never happen because the refs probably wouldn't interfere with intra team dynamics and how players interact with their own team, but I would guess if two players of the same team actually got into a fight on the field they would probably both be ejected, but would it be a penalty too?
Has this ever happened?

Not that I think this would ever happen, but it would not be too farfetched to imagine an irate player or owner thinking there is some vendetta against them. As far as I have seen there is no referee "qualified immunity". Whether any judgement would affect the league it would be a statement if a judge agreed with the plaintiffs against the referee. The only thing I can think similarly happening is when a really bad MLB umpire tried to sue the MLB and say that it was racism keeping him from the higher prestige games when in reality it was this poor umpiring record. Like for example what would happen if Bears player Cassius March had filed an assault/battery lawsuit against ref Tony Corrente for the hip check he did?

Having played flag, this was like a cheat code. drop back to throw, qb scrambles, picks up at least 10-15 yards every time. Obviously there's tackling in the NFL but a good enough play fake should yield the same result, right?

I’m just wondering if it’s ever valid to have two teams you love? I’m a fairly new fan, kept up with the season so far but there’s two teams that have my eye, one partly because it’s my home team but I see people getting outraged when someone dares mentions having two teams even if it’s in different conferences/ divisions, but I am aware about all the rivalries lol. 😂

In my opinion, the extra point is still the most boring play to watch in football, trailing behind the punt.
Open to others ideas on how to fix but…
What would happen if the NFL moved it back to 49 yards for 1 point, maybe 62 yards for 2 points, and 69 yards for 3 points.
Alternatively, if teams don’t want to use their kicker then they can elect to have a 1pt conversion play from the 3yd line, a 2pt conversion play from the 15 yd line, and 3pt conversion play from the 30 yard line.
Part of me thinks 3 point conversion is too much but also would love to see teams attempting 69 yard field goals out of desperation.

Meeting a seller in person to buy several NFL tickets (ticketmaster transfer), and they want Venmo. How do I verify the tickets are real and not already resold? Is Venmo safe for this, or should I push for something else? Any tips appreciated!
Edit: Bought the tickets. They’re legit. Highly appreciate the advice and support!

At the end of yesterday's Detroit-Green Bay game, it was 17-17 and Detroit had the ball deep in GB territory, with the clock around a minute or so. Detroit ran the ball, but strangely the GB defense wasn't stopping them. But then Detroit ballcarrier deliberately fell down, short of the endzone.
It was clear what was happening. Detroit wanted to let more clock tick off and so they could try for the chipshot field goal with little or no time left. But they still wanted to get as close as possible. GB wanted Detroit to score a TD early, so that they'd have more time to score a tying TD.
So instead of being passive and letting Detroit score, what if the GB defenders were even more proactive to helping Detroit score a TD? What if they simply lifted the ballcarrier and carried him into the end zone? As if they were each doing the opposite - the defense was trying to hold him up and the ballcarrier was trying to fall down.
Is there a way the ballcarrier could stop this? Signal to the officials he's "giving up?"
Or would GB have gotten what they wanted: Detroit scores a TD, but then GB has a better opportunity for a tying TD because there's a lot more time left on the clock to try to tie the score?

Hey, new to football. Was watching the Cowboys vs. Eagles game tonight. Were they shouting “kill kill kill” before snapping the ball?

So, I’m a new football fan. I’ve only watched this season and is it normal for the quality of audio and announcers to be this wildly different?
I watched the Seahawks-Chiefs game and loved the announcers. They were cracking jokes, telling stories, etc. I’m watching the Eagles-Cowboys game now and the announcers are monotone or seem bored. Also, sometimes, it feels like there are no fans in the stadium, compared to Sunday’s game. It goes strangely quiet. Am I crazy? Is there like an A Team and B team?
r/NFLNoobs • u/CrazyCelery0909 • 22h ago
Is it dumb or weird to watch an out of state team just because you don’t like your home team? Obviously not in a bandwagon way because my home team is the Vikings and they are the only undefeated team in the NFL now but I absolutely hate watching them. I’m just done with it. Sick of KOC, sick of Will the Thrill being all I see every Sunday, sick of the miserable fans, sick of not having a stable QB, only running pass plays, etc. It’s obviously easier to watch here and get to home games but I don’t do that anyway. Same with buying merch but you can do that all online.

I have been a lions fan for years now since I was super young now when I watch them even though they are way better I don’t get that same joy factor I’ve always like snow games and through of other teams that play in the snow but most I feel like I would become a Banwagon because lions haven’t won a Super Bowl and most of those teams have I though about dolphins but I doesn’t snow like most teams I’m stuck and have been with switching teams every week how do I just stick to one and pick one

I'm a Texans fan, so I can identify that what sets Nico Collins apart are his speed, size, and sure-handedness. He's one of the best in the league, but I don't think anybody would mistake him for being THE best. What sets the Justin Jeffersons, the Jamarr Chases apart from just about anyone else?
