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.

    • Btw... only Mitch fugging Marner has a better +/- than Key 🔑!!! And, Mitchy needed 5 more games and almost 100 more shifts to get there.
    • I was honestly flabbergasted to see Rod send out Stanky and the boys to to matchup against their top line to start the game. The reason that line has been so effective is because they've been matched mostly against 2nd and 3rd lines all year. You've got last change. Use it to your advantage.
    • Nobody played well on defense last night. But, the vitriol towards Chatfield (and to a lesser extent, K'andre) is bigly misplaced. People (not just you) just refuse to accept how bad Slavin has been this season. And, I get it. Canes fans (and informed analysts) have spent nearly a decade trying to explain to casuals just how good Jaccccob is at hockey. 4Nations happened and the hockey watching public started to listen. National media even started floating the idea of creating a new award in his honor. Then this season, he gets hurt. It happens. NBD. But, when he finally came back, it wasn't the same. He'll get back to his old self in no time. Probably just some rust, it'll be fine. Only, it wasnt rust, and he's not fine. He's bad right now. It wasnt just last night. Although, that was absolutely the worst game of his NHL career. Slavin (-4) currently has the 3rd worst +/- of anyone left in the playoffs. We've  been begging the world to recognize Jaccob Slavin's greatness. And, by the time we finally got people to listen, he shits the bed! I blame Kash!
