Did anyone else notice where the L guard and L tackle of the Broncos lined up? Many of the plays they seemed to be almost a yard or more behind the ball. It happened some in the first half but was really prevalent in the second half when they were running the ball a lot. At one point it seemed Payton was lined up at the same point as these two when he was under center.
(Disclaimer: I am not saying we lost b/c of this. We have the worst defense ever fielded in the NFL and we can thank Roger Goodell in part for that)
Now I am not sure if enough men were on the line of scrimmage with the guard and tackle so far off the ball. I wasn't counting and from the TV, it is hard to see those particulars anyway at the angles they are showing. I just saw it almost on the first play from Denver and wondered why they weren't calling a penalty. It seemed it just got worse throughout the game as if they were saying the refs won't call it so let's see how far back we can go.
I just thought the refs would call it and then that would be then end of them doing that. However, it wasn't called once.
Not sure of the exact rule on this, but I remember several years they started enforcing the tackle must be less than a certain distance back from the center. Let me know what you think.
