wow! look at all the yellow

Since there was a live ball foul on both teams, all the live ball fouls should have canceled each other out. The only fouls that should have been enforced on this play as you described it were the dead ball fouls.

all,

basic question here, but what if team A gets 3 live ball fouls and team B gets one? do these all offset/cancel and the down is replayed, or do you just offset one of the 3 fouls committed by A and enforce the other 2?

The live ball fouls do create a double foul, so you will replay the down from the PS. The DBFoul will be enforced from the SSpot, which is the PS. If there were more than one DBFouls, all will be enforced in the order of their occurance.

Bossman72, unfortunately one LBFoul by one team will combine with any number of LBFouls by the other team to create a double foul. The NFL has a 15 vs 5 enforcement which I like a lot. If one team has one or more 5 yard penalty(s) and the other has at least one 15 yard penalty, only the 15 yarder is enforced. I personally like that rule.

That's where that rule is from! I was thinking it was a college rule, and I kept looking and looking for it with no luck. Now I know why. Thanks!
