Confusing Call, On the Price first down catch

[Forward_Lateral]

Price catches the pass on 3rd and 2, gets well past the first down marker, THEN a block in the back is called on Royal. My question is, shouldn't it have been a 1st down, then the penalty assessed? I thought this was the rule. Instead of 3rd and 2, it should've been 1st and 10. I swear this is how the rule works. It happened a few times last year.

I'm not sure, but if he did pick up the first down before the clipping, that's the way the rule should work - especially if Royal did it to someone who wasn't in a position to make a play anyways.

He was about 10 yards past the first down marker at the spot of the foul.

It was the RIGHT call technically. 10 yard from spot of foul then replay the down..


BUt in all reality, it was a horrible call, he was already going out of bounds and the ref CLEARLY knew he had the first down.

I don't think it's the right call. I think if the first down is obtained before the foul, it's a first down. I'm 80% sure of this.

How'd we end up with 1st and 9 at one point???

It's the Pats' and BB's world, and we just live in it. Or, as we say, "Just give it to 'em."

Who knows. I think Robert Kraft was officiating.

You know that the nfl network that airs nfl total access has the head of officials on, usually on Tuesday night to go over some questionible calls made during the week and ill guarantee that they will not even question this one. Now if it were the other way around they would.

No question.

Guys, I believe it is similar to a holding call or something like that since it is on the offense. It is 10 yards from the spot of the foul and replay the down.

I was actually going through NFL.com's NFLN section to find Rich Eisen's email...couldn't find it. I wanted to plead him to ask Mike Periera about those calls.

As far as I know, you only get the first down if it is a dead ball penalty. Personal foul after the play stops would result in moving backwards but still having a first and 10.
