It happens every week. In every game. An offense is late getting to the line. There is some confusion with the offensive line and the quarterback. Sometimes some visible frustration. The clock hits 00, sometimes a flag comes out, the whistles start to scream. This is a penalty, but it is rarely called as such
Every single time we get the explanation “before the delay of game…….” But how often is a timeout actually called?
If they want to handle it like runoff penalties, I guess that’s fine, but change the rule officially. A lost timeout is nothing small, but when it’s 4th and inches I want the 5 yards. If you don’t get the timeout in time, you can’t just get it gifted. That’s a difference between a punt or a likely drive extension.
