Why did official help Patriots avoid penalty before Jets' field goal got blocked?

I saw this live and yelled at the TV. I dont know if thats common but I dont see how you help a player out like that.

 

Silly question. It was Foxboro.

 

officials do that kind of stuff all the time. They let receivers know when they are off the line, let QBs know when the play clock is running down, let DBs know what they won't allow as far as pass interference... -as well they should. No one wants to see silly penalties.

It's the paper trying to make a big deal out of a non-story.

 

As a probably biased Jets fan, I feel like this is the kind of break the Pats get too often. This one, too, seems fishy. I wonder if it's actually a big deal

Oh Boy you can't get all the calls

 

I think illegal formation is a bit different from the examples you gave.

Especially when the snap is imminent.

 

These bad calls are all the more ball breaking because of the Jets deficiencies. When everything goes against it's really tough to win.

 

Im pretty sure this happens a lot.

 

I think the refs usually tell players to move in this scenario but I could be wrong.

 

It's one thing to tell them,

Physically pushing them is something else.

 

Kraft being Krafty again.

 

Please, how about the eye in the sky deciding not to review Nelson's non catch at the sideline? if that was ruled correctly, they never get to the FG attempt. I've said it a million times, the refs suck for both teams far too often for a multi billion dollar industry.

 

Takes a good coach to point that out though to the Refs, so they call it less

 

The Jets got a good amount of favorable calls last night, yes. That definitely hasn't always been the case in Belichick's 29 games vs. the Jets as a NE coach, but last night - yes the Jets got some surprisingly favorable calls.

You are right about the Nelson catch. And Idk if anyone really is complaining about this play in question on the FG block, but if they are they are being silly.

 

This happens all the time....The officials will help teams avoid penalties when they can...This is a non issue....The officials had nothing to do with us losing this game...

 

That's not uncommon. Watch a FG in most games on sunday. You will see the same thing at least once a game

 

Im not going to lie I have never seen it, but also don't watch for it
