Ball has to be out before it crosses the LoS or it's illegal. -
Are you sure? Because this is what I thought the rule is now:
Imagine everyone's surprise, then, when referee Walt Coleman announced that the call was overturned. The rule, apparently, dictates that every part of the quarterback's body has to be over the line of scrimmage for a penalty to be called. Since Eli's right foot was still on the line, he is considered behind the line of scrimmage and the pass is legal. To which I say, "WHAT?!"

They promised to make it more clear and according to this from 2013, they did: http://thereadzone.com/2013/12/01/th...ard-pass-rule/
According to the NFL website, under the definition of the “forward pass” and illegal forward pass, we read as follows:
(a) A forward pass thrown when the passer is beyond the line of scrimmage.
Note: It is a forward pass from beyond the line of scrimmage if the passer’s entire body and the ball are beyond the line of scrimmage when the ball is released, whether the passer is airborne or touching the ground. The penalty for a forward pass thrown from beyond the line is enforced from the spot where the ball is released.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs.

Hmm... Guess they changed it at some point and I just missed it.
Pretty stupid rule, though. A lot more difficult to enforce than the old way.Comment

I think, earlier than 2012/13, they decided trying to figure out where the ball was on the field while it was 6 feet in the air in the hand of the QB was tough. The change, assuming an upright QB, means they only have to figure out where his feet are.Originally posted by smuggler View PostBud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs.

Joe Whitt is not happy with Patler or Bob McGinn.
“Everybody else [Patler/McGinn] has been talking about Casey not doing this or that, but I’ve never said that,” Whitt said on Thursday. “When he’s been out there, he’s played at the same level from his rookie year. He’s played at a high level. I’ve never said he’s taken a step back and I don’t believe he’s taken a step back. The snaps that he played last year, he had more turnovers than anybody on our defense (other than Julius Peppers). I’m fine with Casey. I’m excited to see him play.”Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.Comment

My biggest concern has been his availability. I make no judgements about his performance, just relay comments from those who watch every day and say he appears to have lost something since his rookie season. If the rookies pan out this year, I think the could let Hayward walk, just as they did Devon House, who also came up injured regularly. As does Shields, for that mater...................Originally posted by pbmax View PostComment

Who is going to start the game day thread tomorrow?But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

As near as I can tell, this is the first time since 1981 that the Packers have opened the season at Soldier Field. Packers won 16-9. Eddie Lee Ivery scored a TD before tearing up his knee for the 2nd time in 3 years on the satanic Soldier Field artificial turf. http://www.pro-football-reference.co...8109060chi.htm
