Please explain me this NFL rule

Icy · 11-06-2006, 02:00 PM

I just lost a game in the overtime in the NAFL MP league and i'm not sure about this call and why is it a safety:

!Possession to Miami.
&Offense: Pro Formation, Normal, Strength = Right.
&Defense: 43 Alignment, Nickel Personnel, Man-to-Man (Bump & Run), Pass - Aggressive.
1-10-MIA03 (11:10) MIA 6 Griese pass completed to 81 McMichael for 4 yards.
Tackled by MIN 45 Archuleta.
&McMichael gained 1 yard after the catch.
&The quarterback threw away from the double coverage.
Penalty: MIA - Offensive Holding. Safety called on penalty in end zone.

If the holding occurs in the endzone, it's a safety.

Certain offensive penalties committed in the endzone are safties.

I would assume that the rule prevents teams from intentionally committing penalties in order to prevent obvious safties from occuring.

Ksyrup · 11-06-2006, 02:03 PM

holding in the end zone is an automatic safety. That is the rule.

The reasoning is that the hold kept the QB from being sacked. And a sack in the end zone is a safety. Also, a 10-yard penalty is not much of a deterrent for a team already backed up to its own goal line.

This is perfectly acceptable in Maximum Football. Perhaps you may prefer that game.

larrymcg421 · 11-06-2006, 02:13 PM

In Maximum Football, you can set it up to just mark off the penalty so you start the next play from within your own end zone.

Or even outside the field of play. Enough penalties and you can end up in the beer tent!

And in the beer tent there are no rules!

You guys obviously haven't tried Gold Beta Patch RC3.512. Just make sure to apply Gold Beta Patch RC3.511375 first or else you might miss the beer tent if your frame rate isn't high enough.

As for Icy, as the others have stated, any offensive penalty that occurs in the end zone is considered a safety.

Actually all offensive penalties in the end zone while the ball is in play will get you a safety.

I wasn't sure of that, so I qualified my answer with "[c]ertain."

Thanks for the clarification.
