Sideline Rules Question

[SteelerSask2]

Let's call it the James Harrison/Larry Fitzgerald scenario. I always wondered what the deal would have been if Fitzgerald caught Harrison. He ran out of bounds for like 8 yards. Where as in the AFC championship Chad Scott is a gunner gets pushed out comes in makes a tackle. Penalty. Replay the punt, Pats* returner takes it to the house.
Cue tonight. The Chiefs kick returner is running for the TD. The Pat's pursuer is out of bounds for like 5 yards and catches him at the 5 or whatever. So what's the rule?

I saw that too. Color me confused.

If he runs out of bounds on his own, that’s definitely a penalty. I wouldn’t expect any such thing to be enforced against the pats though.

I Just watched it again. Sorry I can't post video. Mcourtey tries to make the play along the sideline. Misses. He runs close to 15 yards out of bounds. Obviously the ref doesn't posses 4.5 /40 speed and is behind the play and literally perfect position to make the call. Nothing.

That is the cheats penalties ranking this year. And the lack of penalties called on them, is a yearly occurrence.


I know some fans do not agree, but do not think for one moment that team isn't helped along. They also run a lot of crossing patterns, a lot of offensive push offs, etc.

And that is the known, imagine what the unknown is.

Like I said a billion times, make no mistake about it they still cheat. They just perfected the art of it. Perhaps they do it in the red zone. And of course how they get the signals is going to be a lot less obvious than a guy filming in where everyone can see. We do know there is ways to film without being seen. So if you use your signal stealing part time, it will be less detectable.

They can say see we aren't the number one O or D.

And with the help of everything else they do legal, plus the refs lack of flags thrown you get the yearly product you see.

NFL can keep piping their love affair with this cheating *** team, but I see them clearly for what they are.

**** the Patriots.
