Football Rules and Regulations

If a receiver is knocked out of bounds by a defensive player and the official believes the receiver would have come down in bounds with both feet had he not been contacted by the defender, then it's ruled a completed pass. ---- This rule has been changed for the 2008 season. There is no longer a 'force out' rule in the NFL.

Rule 66.1 of the NHL rulebook states that if the game is forfeited prior to being commenced the score is 1-0 and the players receive no personal statistics. If the game forfeited while in progress then the forfeiting team has a score of 0 and the opposing team has a score of however many goals they've scored.

It depends on the severity of the suspension.

Yes, only the player on the end of the each side of the line of scrimmage may go downfield. Two offensive players may be downfield before the ball is kicked.

The first component is to get lots of cardio training in, and make sure you have a very good bunch of teammates. The truly hardest part of playing flag football is telling your father that you are Gay! Seriously! Be a man and play football like it is meant to be played. If you want to wear dresses and prance around, join a drama troupe. Football is meant to be played by tough men, not skinny little punks that couldn't make the JV hop scotch team. Lmao at the dorks that play Madden and then think they can play the real game, except they are too scared to actually get hit or tackle someone.

I would imagine this is (offensive coordinator) A coach Not a player

The Buffalo Sabres serve WESTERN NEW YORK, NOT UPSTATE.

The New York Rangers serve Eastern Upstate and NYC.

The New York Islanders serve Long Island.

You can clearly see the Buffalo Sabres fan-base ends abruptly around Syracuse. Also, there are disproportionate sects of green and other colors that are due to college votes, which are a result of transplants from different areas. As the map gets filled in more, eventually you will be able to see the Rangers filling up most of Eastern NY state and the Sabres western. Even the Sabres advertisements are geared toward the "Western NY community."

People really need to get a grip on this. Albany is technically Upstate, but its more than twice the distance from Buffalo as NYC. Would you suggest its in a Buffalo market?

Flag football is very similar to regular football. It is played without pads and a "tackle" is accomplished by removing a flag from a ball carrier's belt.

Rule 4, Section 1, Article 3b of the NCAA Football Rules and Interpretations states the ball is dead: " When any part of the runner's body, except his hand or foot, touches the ground or when the runner is tackled or otherwise falls and loses possession of the ball as he contacts the ground with any part of his body, except his hand or foot. (Exception: The ball remains alive when an offensive player has simulated a kick or is in position to kick the ball held for a place kick by a teammate. The ball may be kicked, passed or advanced by rule) "

The above rule states that an exception has been made for the holder of the kick.

He is usually there to see where the ball lands. But if not they use the replay. Guessing. If the ball looked like it crossed the line directly above, say, the forty yard line for example, that is where he would signal and place it.

The Offensive Team is the one in possession of the ball.

Otto Graham won 4 AAFC Championships ('46, '47, '48, '49) and 3 NFL championships ('50, '54, '55).

Bart Starr won 5 NFL Championships ('61, '62, '65, '66, '67)

Terry Bradshaw won 4 Superbowls

Joe Montana won 4 Superbowls

Tom Brady has won 3 Superbowls and is still active

3 points. But a drop kick (which is similar to a field goal) is worth 2 points. A drop kick is where you drop the ball on the ground and let it bounce up in the air then kick it through the goal posts. This is very difficult to do and is very rarely tried in the nfl.

A team gets four downs to move the ball 10 yards. If unsuccessful, a team usually kicks on fourth down, either by punting to the opponent or attempting a field goal. A team may attempt to achieve the needed yardage on fourth down, but if unsuccessful, the ball is awarded to the opposing team at the spot where the play ended. In Canadian football, teams have only three downs to move the ball 10 yards.

Each team gets 2 challenges to start the game. If the team uses both challenges and is successful with both, they get a third challenge. If the team uses both challenges and is not successful with both, they do not get a third challenge. Three is the most challenges a team can have in an NFL game.

Because the professional football and college football need distinct difference also players are still growing. College football is development and it is easier to fix throwing mechanics with a smaller football than with a bigger football.

Offense-Holding/False Start

Defense- Pass Interference/Offside

If the extra point hits the ground, it is no good. If the deffending team catches it, they could get two points. In order to get the points, they have to run it back to their opponent's end zone without being tackled or going out of bounds. If they do not run it back all the way, they do not get the two points, but the ball is kicked off to them.

100 yards

No, actually, an NFL football field in 53.3 yards wide (160 feet).

No, the tackle does not need to be covered up. As long as there are 7 people on the line of scrimmage, it does not matter where they are at. Only the non-lineman players on the line farthest from the ball are eligible. Anyone not on the line is eligible.

15 minutes before a regulation NFL game, both teams must present an "Inactive" list of 8 players to the officials. That means of a team's 53 man roster, only 45 may participate in the game itself. The lone exception is if the team has a 3rd string quarterback on the inactive list. There are separate rules for the 3rd string QB and how he may participate in a game, if at all. The question then is, why have an inactive list? It's an attempt by the NFL to create a competitive balance on game day. Due to the brutal nature of the sport, a team can carry players on its 53 man roster that may be too injured to play in that game, but not so injured that they need to be put on Injured Reserve and miss the rest of the season. Having an inactive list that removes 8 players on game day, basically guarantees that both teams will have the same number of healthy players available on game day, whether or not the 8 inactive players are truly injured. I do not know why 8 was chosen.

Quite naturally, the reasoning for an inactive list is controversial. Teams still must pay the inactive player their entire game day salary, and must pay to transport, feed, and lodge their inactive players on road trips. Also, limiting the amount of active players puts more players at risk of injury as it is more difficult to rest starters in blowouts, and regular players must also contribute more on special teams.

No, there is no time taken off the clock during either of these conversions.

Yes he can. If you want proof you can see it in a Super Bowl XLIII re-run where #92 of the Steelers ran that interception back for a touchdown. Larry Fitzgerald was out of bounds just before he tackled #92 in the end zone. Only if the player was forced out of bounds by the opposing team can he come back in to make a tackle which was not the case in SB XLIII and Fitzgerald. He may have been forced out by an Arizona player but he was no forced out by a Pittsburgh player. He was not flagged because they simply did not see it.

As long as you were A) behind the line of scrimmage, B) drop kicked the ball, and C) drop kicked the ball between the goal posts that your opponent was defending. If those three criteria above were met, the field goal would be considered good.

An acre is 43,560 square feet. An American football field is 46,440 square feet.

You do the math.

A Canadian football field is 93, 600 square feet.

You do the math.

You can have other kinds of football, Italian, European, Australian rules.

Of course European rules football does not have a standard size field. Only the size of the goal posts are standard.
