The 2 pt conversion

What happened there? I was at the bar and didn't get to hear the experts explain that call.

The Beeee-illls didn't convert on that 2 point conversion - Solomon Wilcox

Illegal formation

I think one of the WR's covered up one of our TE's on the LOS. I really don't know who the culprits were, but I'd guess Hardy covered up Royal.

Well, that explanation is clear as mud, sounds like that guy is brilliant - do you have a link? Old Soloman couldn't say WHY it wasn't "converted"?

Huh? It was a penalty which is why it didn't count.

I should've quoted Block O's post for that reply. I know there was a penalty - but couldn't hear what it was (bar noise and all).

I also apologize, I simply enjoy making fun of solomon.

The only thing that I heard was an illegal formation on #84

I could hear his voice when I read this.

That's not what they called.

A WR - I believe Lee Evans - covered Royal. And since Royal wears a # in the 80s, he cannot be covered.

Eligible numbers must be in eligible positions and ineligible numbers must be in ineligible positions. If they want to change their status, they must report to the referee who will then notify the other team. Obviously, the Bills didn't do that.

I am not sure that is correct.

If Royal is covered he becomes ineligible, but the formation is not illegal. If Royal goes downfield, it can be an ineligible man downfield call, but the formation is legal.

Or is the rule different than in college, where a similar thing happened in the Michigan game and Wisconsin was called for ineligible man downfield.

This morning on 97 Rock, Mark Kelso said he looked through the rulebook and what the Bills did was legal, but he will continue to look for clarification and thet he thinks the ref screwed up.

Re: The 2 pt conversion

OK. Sorry to bring this back up, but I finally found it in the rule book. Assuming Royal WAS covered by a WR, the official made the correct call:

Section 3 Changes in Position
Article 1 An offensive player wearing the number of an ineligible pass receiver (50-79 and 90-99) is permitted to line up in the position of an eligible pass receiver (1-49 and 80-89), and an offensive player wearing the number of an eligible pass receiver is permitted to line up in the position of an ineligible pass receiver, provided that he immediately reports the change in his eligibility status to the Referee, who will inform the defensive team.
