You never see me say anything like that on truly stupid and comedic calls like this one orrrr the bogus big hit one from earlier, that was clean and the league should apologize for. They owe us TWO apology letters now.
It is YOU who is biased.

It's rare, but it does get called. You might not know where it originated and that it coincided with the idiotic idea that the offense can "react" to defensive linemen movement and it's not a false start. That very basic rule change ended the Flex.

When I played on the o-line I held all the time. Keeping your hands in and elbows out, is the key for getting away with it. Technique. I would grab either the jersey or the breastplate of the shoulder pads, sometimes at the top or at the bottom depending. Elbows out, hands in. It's taught starting in peewee ball.

I have NEVER seen that called. I've seen defenders come across the line causing the OL to jump. I've seen defenders kick the football to slow the offense down, but I have never seen that called. Ever.

Back when it was new like in 84, 85 it was called all the time. It was a nuisance even. It's like every other new rule, over time it didn't get called anymore because players finally adjusted.
They liberalized the false start and added penalties for dline movement. When in the past once a lineman on offense was set he could NOT move or even flinch for any reason. Older guys might remember when it was that way.
So we did away with the hitch and the flex.

He sure doesn't miss many open field tackles. Short of injury he should never come off the field. He reminds me so much of Lee Roy Jordan and even has his number. He is the absolute Real Deal.

Due to absolutely nothing he did. An empty suit in his place and this team wraps up the division title four weeks ago.
THAT is being fair.

It’s weird
Normally when we win the division I’m happy and excited for the playoffs
But this time I just feel like it’s a waste of another year because I know we stand zero chance at winning more than one single playoff game simply because Garrett is our head coach

Nick Foles is down on the turf injured
Edit
He’s back up, looks like he had the wind knocked out of him
He’s thrown for an Eagles record 478 yards today. And he’s brought them to within field goal range to win the game
Too bad for the Eagles they are already knocked out of the playoffs with our win today
You are welcome Shegulls!
