Trouble counting to seven

i had an umpire make this call a few weeks ago, and it was a prime example of why it is not his call. he threw the flag because he saw both wings have ends punched off. that is true, but seven others were lined up in between them, as they were the whole game. (flag was in the 4th quarter)

Never say never.

If your umpire stands 7'11" which enables him to see over the offensive line into the backfield, he can call anything he chooses.
