It's the wrong forum but I'm still in the closet on the red blood. An overkill Fruity Pebbles to maintain relevance in this misnamed strand of reality.

When Mahomes takes snap in shotgun and then backs up 6-10 yards, he can usually feast. Did so on late pass to Thornton. Did so on jet-chip-wasp in SB54. I wish he would do that more, as opposed to the one or two steps back. Especially right now as he seems antsy in the pocket with the revamped O-line that needs time to gel. 40% of the O-line presently a liability.
espn story says Eagles ran tush-push 6 times on Sunday. I think that's low (I got 8) as I counted 3 in the first half including one where left guard clearly jumped and another where the center moves forward before snapping the ball. Other was fine or nonexistent. Made notes for 2nd half tush-pushi:
--4th 8:30 on clock; no jump and stopped (at goal line)
--another follows, and I think both guards jumped (seen in overhead); impossible for refs to tell with everyone impinging on the neutral zone
--5:30 left in 4th; right guard jumps; also Hurts bobbing back and forth as well, but I am not sure the specific rules on false starts by quarterback
--2:13 left in 4th: looked clean; stopped
--2:00 4th: neutral zone clogged & obscured so I can't tell; if the refs are going to allow Hurts to step or ride forward for yards without a whistle, then removal of the ball from his possession must be permitted; you watch the mass of bodies on this play and there is no site of possession before the mass of bodies and arms collapses, but at the bottom of the pile the Chiefs' Tranquill comes up with the ball; looks like simultaneous possession when blown dead (hence Hurts' ball) on the later replay when Blandino, Brady and Burkhardt are bitching
I see this on QB false starts:
ex: what is the nfl rule for false starts by the quarterback?
AI Overview
In the NFL, a quarterback commits a false start by moving forward before the ball is snapped or by simulating the snap, which results in a five-yard penalty and stops the play immediately. This penalty applies to actions like abruptly thrusting hands forward, aggressively bobbing the head, or any other movement that appears to be starting the play prematurely. The purpose of this dead-ball penalty is to prevent offensive players from unfairly drawing the defense offside and to avoid injuries to the quarterback during the confusion of the snap count.
What constitutes a false start by a quarterback?
A quarterback can be flagged for a false start through various actions: Simulating the snap: Any movement that looks like the start of the play, even if the ball isn't snapped. Abrupt forward motion: Moving forward quickly before the ball is snapped. Head movements: Aggressively bobbing the head or other quick, sudden body movements. Jerking hands: Thrusting hands forward or making any jerking hand motions when the snap isn't happening simultaneously.
Why the rule exists
The false start rule serves two primary purposes: Fair play: It prevents the offense from gaining an unfair advantage by drawing the defense offside before they are ready. Player safety: The play is immediately blown dead to protect the quarterback from being hit while going through the snap count or by a defender rushing in response to the false start.

I've heard blah-blah that it might be banned after this year. Better to introduce some rule to allow it, if possible; it can be stopped.
Roll your eyes but don't complain, it's free.
