This is the most mind boggling stupid thing associated with this sport.
That is, when a team has done something illegal, why does the play continue when that team is going to be penalised?
In no sport in the world does this occur.
That punt where the Seattle runner returned it to the Atlanta 9, the penalty occured when the Atlanta player kicked it. The ref who threw the flag obviously threw the flag because he saw the Seattle player did something illegal, so the penalty was going to be on Seattle....
The question is, why allow play to continue? Most stupid incompetent process in the sport.
In rugby, if say a team that has the ball does something illegal, as soon as it is done, the play immediately stops. It doesnt allow the play to continue then bring it back for that penalty.
Why bother letting them to continue to play if something was done illegally?
If a team has the ball and the opposition does something illegal, then absolutely play the advantage, but ONLY if it means the team that has the ball has the advantage.
I mean, the guy ran the ball like 70 yards or whatever yet his team mate did something illegal way way before, why not stop the play immediately instead of letting play continue to bring it back?
Most dumbest thing i have ever seen in sports.
It would be like if a basketball player does something like a travel, do the refs let them continue to play offense until they finish there offense set then bring the ball back?
