It's standard procedure because most refs in most leagues don't really like to be part of the game. To the extent they can prevent penalties by moving players, they will. That way the game is won or lost by the players playing the game and not by who has the least procedural laundry.
It's especially bad when that site (specifically Florio) tries to talk about the actual game instead of rumours. His knowledge of the sport is pitiful. There's no excuse for publishing today's article without doing a little research or taking advantage of the access to the league NBC provides him.It's a shame what happened to that site. Used to be a must-read for a fun take on football stories and Florio was quite entertaining back in the day.
The quality has gone way downhill ever since it joined NBC...
I'd continue, but I just remembered this board is PG. (Well PG-13 )Repeatedly ........
it doesn't matter to these people they just want to hate the pats for a reason, they can just basically invent one to be mad aboutWhat the hell is the controversy? Refs taping a defender so they move out of an illegal spot on field goals happens all the times.
But can people please stop linking PFT here. It's a site that posts clickbait hate against every team because it makes fans angry. When the fans get angry they post the link on forums like this, which results in more clicks and more money. This is PFTs business plan, making people irritated and angry.
Taking something that is standard procedure, happens all the time....and twisting it to imply that the refs helped the Pats avoid a penalty on that blocked field goal play. LOLOLOLOL. The lengths that this clown will go to get clicks....

The Patriot haters are clicking, arfing and clapping right on cue, which of course is what he wanted...
If you've never seen that happen before, one of three things is true: 1) you are blind, or 2) you're lying, or 3) you never watch pro football. Respond, please.Apparently you and some posters here are having difficulty with reading maybe? Y'all saw the part where Florio mentions that Hightower would have moved anyway, right? The piece simply asks reasonable question - should a ref help prevent a penalty? I have never seen it happen myself.
You can hate on Florio if that's your gig, but there's no Pats hating here at all.
