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.

      I love Chubba.  Been a fan since I heard about his story when he was at Ok St.  and no doubt his production and progression is impressive, but this is my one nitpick - he was always touted for his speed, having come from a track background, so I am honestly surprised he doesn’t have more breakaway runs for TDs than what he has achieved thus far.  But to be fair, it often feels like he is constantly having to break tackles, so when he breaks the last one where it would just be nothing between him and the end zone, that usually took long enough that a defender from the opposite side of the field got an angle to catch up.  I really hope with the receiver additions, Bryce moving forward with confidence and proving that ending stretch last season wasn’t an aberration, and another year of synergy for the OL, Chubba is gonna have some wide open running this season.  He is definitely special.  Proud of him and happy he is getting rewarded for all his hard work…
