This play was the greatest thing.

Went from "Oh poo poo oh poo poo oh poo poo COVER THE PLAY OR CALL TIMEOUT" to "...what the gently caress?!" faster than I ever have while watching football. Amazing.

Does illegal formation get called if the ball isn't snapped? If they had drawn the Patriots offsides would it have counted?

I'm not an expert but my guess is if the defense made contact before the snap and was called for encroachment then it would count. But the more likely scenario would be that the Patriots would just been drawn offsides and then the Colts would have immediately been flagged for illegal formation.

So essentially the only way IMO that play would have worked to the Colts advantage is if the Patriots just randomly lost their balance and fell on top of a Colts player.

Belichick is the smartest man in the NFL simply because when presented with stupid poo poo like this instead of going "sure I bet they won't see this wrinkle coming heh!" he instead says "no."

I posted in the thread, but I'm pretty sure they weren't supposed to snap the ball ever.

You have a play like that in the bag to make your opponent burn a timeout. You shift to something wacky, the other team panics and burns a timeout, then you punt. Worst comes to worst, they don't panic, you take a delay of game then punt from 5 yards further back.

I have no idea why he snapped the ball

Don't think for a minute BB didn't mindfuck Pagano into calling that; BB is a loving wizard. Tom Brady didn't deflate those balls, Bill did, with magic.

This was worse because the Colts if not for that play might have won. The Redskins had no chance.

The Colts were still in the game when they ran their play

The Redskins ran it at the end of the half, so it ultimately led to no points. The Patriots scored a TD off the play

Jim Zorn was on his way out anyway and the play was a "gently caress you" to Dan Snyder, Chuck Pagano is still trying to win

The Colts are still leading the AFC South :lol:

The Colts have not beaten a non-AFC South opponent

The Colts are easily the best team in the division

Pagano is also on his way out. I assume he want's to get hired somewhere else so the FU might not apply.
