ok here we go

I wasn't at the game, but I saw the film and I talked to the official involved. He tried to get the DB back but with the crowd noise he couldn't hear him...The DB was lined up in press coverage and could either end up getting a jump on the coverage or blitzing the qb, thereby creating a big advantage/disadvantage situation.

Like anyone else he haited to throw the flag.

Like I said I saw the film, from the sideline view (50 yd line) and the play occuring on the 9 yd line, I could tell before I even talked to him who it was that was offsides.

With him being that far off (blicking the view of the ball) the guy can't let it go, his credibility is on the line, people will either think he is cheating for the visitors or blind. When the fouls are that blatant, you can't let them go, especially in a tight game....45 -3 yeah you can let it go, and head for the locker room...16-12, you just have to get it......
