Well, they can tune in to Pereirra's segment on NFL network. With his history, I am sure he will say that the officials got it wrong and issue an apology to the Colts.


BAWAHAAAAAA!!!!:) :) :)

Does this mean that Dungy misinterpreted the rule on simulating snap? It seemed pretty clear to me. Just because he got away with this before(probably because someone jumped offsides) doesn't mean it isn't a penalty!

It is tempting to laugh such shenanigans off as amusing chutzpah.

But the purpose of this demand for further explanation is not really to find out
what did happen Sunday night.

It is revving up their snarling intimidation engine
... so that officials will get back on program and resume being
as docile and cooperative as they had been at home the week before.

That is so freaking true. Of course Polian is screetching now so they look the other way on something else in the future...

I always thought that you couldn't have more than one person in motion at any one time. On that play in particular, they had 3 people moving. Utecht moving away from the line. Moorehead (?) moving up. And Fletcher going in motion.

Also, Utecht never came UP out of his stance.. He hopped straight back. I believe that is also not a valid movement. I think if Utecht had come UP out of his stance and then reset, I believe he'd have been fine.

I think you are right, it all centered on Utecht's movement. Too obvious, but Dungy was arguing that it was legal, they had run out of it before. In the end, all around stupid play. Although defenses have screwed that up before, I think they knew there was no way they were going to hike the ball. The problem with the entire thing is that eventually, they were going to have to call a T.O. They should have had enough forethought to realize AV could miss, and that 3 TO's would be crucial in trying to get ball back. Too bad Addai's run didn't come before the 2 minute warning, then no review:D

You can have multiple players in motion as long as they they pause for at least one second prior to the snap (except one player, who may be in lateral motion at the snap).

Not sure about Utecht as I didn't see that play.

Regardless of the team, I hate excuses. The reason they lost wasn't one potentially questionable call. It was their horrendous offensive performance and the failure of their kicker. They still had an EASY chance to win and that's all you can ask for.
