Why did they call a false start on us at the end of the third quarter vs Jets?

I was watching the game on TIVO for the second time, and i got to an amazing catch that i forgot, then remembered, but didn't remember why I forgot about it ( sounds confusing huh?). It was a catch by Kenny Moore where he started to catch the ball on a comeback it went up like 2 feet and he caught it as he fell. Well after the play was over they said we we had a false start penalty for the 15 seconds after the play was over so the 15 yard gain got erased..... I replayed the presnap 11 times... 1 time for each player... there wasnt a single false start from any of the players..... so what the fug?

it was probably illegal procedure/formation, a false start would have been an immediate dead ball with whistles blowing everywhere..there was probably someone lined up too far back(oline try to sneak it in to get an advantage) or a reciever in the neutral zone..

Although the ref originally called it a false start, it was actually an illegal formation that had to be explained to John Fox by the ref after the TV commercial break a couple plays later. The only reason we knew was because it was announced in the stadium as a formation call.

Doesn't (I don't think) apply to this case, but I did notice from the Colts game that the QB has to wait until the Umpire gets into the backfield before you can snap (doing a quick snap) or you'll get a false start too. Not that we have that kind of offense, but I can see Manning (and those like him) really suffering from that.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.

      Maybe faked was too strong of a word.  "Milked" may be the better way to call it.
