They only penalize "half the distance to the goal" when then penalty yardage is greater than the distance to the goalline. If you are on the 10 yard line and you get a 15 yard penalty, they only mark off half the distance to the goal (5 yards in this case).

The only thing that confuses me is that the ball was down at the 38...15 yard penalty brings it to the 23...another 15 yards should've been 1st down at the 8. The 1st penalty didn't bring them within the 15 yard mark. What am I missing here? Did the ref just make a mistake?

That’s not quite right. Half the distance is when the penalty yardage is more than half the distance to the GL. If you get a personal foul on the 24 it’s a 12 yard penalty. Only exception is defensive pass interference is always a spot penalty - in the endzone ball is spotted on the one yard line.

But nobody really cared in LA about the charges because San Diego is about a 2 hour drive down the 5 freeway. And a lot of the San Diego Chargers fan base is in LA anyway. LA didn’t have a football team for about 20 years then Boom got two again. We used to have the Rams and Raiders too because the Raiders kept bouncing from Oakland to la.

Technically UNTRUE. Allow me to explain why this is false and you are incorrect. In 1995, owner Art Modell, who had purchased the Browns in 1961, announced plans to move the team to Baltimore. After threats of legal action from the city of Cleveland and fans, a compromise was reached in early 1996 that allowed Modell to establish the Baltimore Ravens as a new franchise while retaining the contracts of all Browns personnel. The Browns' intellectual property, including team name, logos, training facility, and history, were kept in trust and the franchise was regarded by the NFL as suspended for three seasons. So technically speaking the Browns front office, players and staff left and became a new franchise know as the Baltimore Ravens. Thereby leaving the "Cleveland Browns" in Cleavland. Also when the Browns resumed play in 1999 the club's roster was re-stocked via an expansion draft. Seeing as how the team still was based in Cleveland haviing truly never left the Browns were not technically considered to be an expansion franchise by the NFL. Now you know the whole truth rather than the false information you have believed for the past 22 years now. Go and tell all your friends 😁

Regarding the supporting teams: many teams who move have trouble getting new fans in their new city, but they usually move to cities that didn’t have a team beforehand and the people there had supported another team. Many people support their college teams more than their nfl teams especially if they went or currently attend the college. People also support college teams based on location (I live in Ohio and I’m an Ohio state fan even though no one in my family went there). If people move, they don’t typically become fans of their new area’s nfl/college team and will stick to supporting the teams they always have.

21:08 The whole penalization rule of saying "half the distance to the goal" is all determined based on what type of penalty it is, because they all grade differently in terms of yards and some giving free first downs. i.e. since the first penalty was for 15 yards the new spot would have been 15 yards further from the end of the play, but there was a second one that would've been for 15 yards but the ball was less than 30 yards from scoring a touch down so they took half the distance to the goal; this goes for any penalty that is longer that is half the distance to the goal.

The Rams actually moved from LA to St. Louis in the mid-90s they just moved BACK to LA so they didnt really need a fanbase to grow as many of the old fans in LA we're excited to have them back. Love the US Sports videos you giys react to, keep them up!

In every American sport (basketball, baseball, football) if a player gets ejected you just send a backup into the game. 99 on the rams is the best player in the league so that’s a huge blow to their team. He also likely got a 15 thousand dollar fine.

you guys are hilarious i love these

The penalty toward the end took 15 yards off, which put them close enough to the goal that adding another 15 yards would have put them into the endzone, and since they can't penalty themselves into a touchdown they were given "half the distance to the goal" instead of a full yardage.

The thumbnail is funny. The calmest one flipping out. 😂

The coach for the 49ers got really heated when the refs said the call stood because if you look at when he hits the ground after catching the ball it moved a bit and wasn’t in control and a rule is, if you shown the ball was in control in your hands even after hitting the ground, it is a catch. The coach didn’t agree with the refs because you can see the ball was out of his hands after he hit the ground then he grabbed it after the play

7:40 the rule is when you catch the football not only the ball can’t hit the ground but also can’t move while it’s in your hands or that is considered incomplete because it wasn’t fully controlled. Coach was saying he didn’t have full control. The camera angles are very very important because it can determine the win or loss of the game

Why do I keep watching these videos? Not a fan of Brit conversation, but these gents ask good questions and I enjoy hearing them answer themselves from what they have gathered. Keep em coming.

The penalties against Aaron Donald at the end of the video was one 15 yard penalty which moved San Fran into the Red Zone, so the second 15 yard penalty is changed to half the distance to the goal. And LA now has the Rams and Chargers as teams, and the 49ers are the only other team in California since the Raiders moved to Vegas. When the player is ejected the team can play another player, but Aaron Donald may be the best defensive player ever to play which will obviously effect the team when he got booted.

Since everyone is echoing the Rams questions, I'll go ahead and clarify that you were originally correct about the hats. The referee throws his hat to signal a penalty if he has already used his flag to signal a previous penalty on the same play. Since there are several referees on the field, it isn't common for a ref to toss a hat, since another ref could toss his flag to signal a second penalty. Safe to say if a referee tosses his hat, something egregious has happened. In the particular case from the video, the player was originally called for unsportsmanlike conduct when the flag was thrown. The hat came off for a separate unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on the same player. Two unsportsmanlike conducts in one game automatically results in an ejection, similar to a yellow/red card sequence.

This needed some old school coaches getting angry, a Mike Ditka or a Bill Parcells.

The Rams used to be in LA before moving to St Louis in the 90’s. So there was a fan base already in LA before the Rams moved back. But when a NFL team comes to town, most people choose to support that team, even if they already had a team maybe out of state or in another city. I live in Jacksonville, and before we got the Jaguars my family were Dolphins fans, but when we got our own team, we chose to support them.

Keep reacting to nfl videos. We love them!

To answer your question, the Los Angeles Rams were originally in LA before they moved to St. Louis around the '90s and now they're back. so there are fans who are simply welcoming them back. And also, the NFL is such a big american sport, there are several fans of a team that are elsewhere. Dallas fans in San Francisco, Patriot fans in LA, etc.

They don't have to play a man down if there is an ejection in the NFL. There's just 1 less player available to play which with the nature of the sport and injuries could be a big thing. In the clip that you watched the guy who was ejected was the Rams best player.

Our lesson for today: The “cleats” on American Football shoes are often about 3/4 inch long and about the same diameter at the base. (They’re conical with a truncated tip.) They are made of hard plastic and have a small steel cover on the end. They are also removable so the they can be replaced as they wear down or to change the cleat length to meet field conditions. They hurt like hell when a 280 pounder steps on your calf, or better yet, your hand.

Oh, by the way, there was a defensive coach, Gregg Williams, who put bounties out for injuring opposing players. When that came out, he got suspended and lots of players got fined for participating. Basically, the NFL's positions are 'injuries happen, but if you're actively trying to cause them, we WILL punish you'. Of course, as with my statement on steroids, there might be people who just play as dirty as they can get away with. (The defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, yes I Googled his name to spell it, _was_ definitely one of those guys, and old age MAY have mellowed him out but I'm doubtful.)

7:26 That's a good catch, I don't know what they think they saw. That's a great awareness play ALLL Day! both angles his hand/wrist made it under the ball, plus stopped himself from rolling out of bounds. Everyone was probably looking at the SF sideline thinking they saw something, but all they would be looking at was his elbow. Ha

Another thing to consider to is the same players are facing each other the entire game so they have been hitting, scrapping and spitting at each other for a couple hours.

The reason why the catch at 7:28 is controversial is because when you catch the ball you have to make a football move (running/ jumping/ stiff arm) to consider having possession as a receiver, if you catch and you're falling to the ground without making a football move with the ball you have to maintain possession of the football with two feet inbounds and you can't let the ball touch the ground before you catch it or as you catch, or in this case you have to keep firm control of the ball (no bobbling) if it touches the ground right after you catch it.

When a team moves to your city it also brings so much money into that community. It brings jobs excitement of having a real home team and also a lot of nfl players give their time and money to the local community. That’s why teams get new fans so easily

8:20 was during a time in the nfl where they nfl made a very controversial "catch rule", effectively at the time if any part of the ball touched the ground and the ball shifted in your hands it wasnt considered a catch as you didnt "maintain possession of the ball throughout the catch"

To answer the Rams Q -- The Rams are originally based in LA. Moving back to LA from STL, a fanbase was already acquired and ready. But more broadly, NFL is so hugely popular, if ANY city or State were able to adopt a team, a fanbase would certainly emerge. Winning and early success will certainly help a teams fanbase grow as well.

Penalties can vary in yardage, depending on the severity. Usually they're 5, 10 or 15 yards (the latter if it's a personal foul), but a defensive pass interference can be a 100y penalty at worst, because the ball is placed at the spot of the foul. When a player gets ejected, the team still plays with 11 men on the field, but the player is out. In case of Aaron Donald, that meant the Rams had to play without the arguably best defensive player in the league. There have been incidences of targeting (purposefully injuring an opposing player), this led to the Bountygate scandal that cost the Saints a few draft picks and got players and coaches suspended. In the US, a team usually has a large fan base in it's home town but also some fans in other places. This is especially the case if the team has been in a different city before. e.g. the Rams have been in L.A. previously until moving to St. Louis and now moving back. Many teams have resettled elsewhere and even re-branded. There are also expansion teams that have been added to the league later and that didn't exist previously. If people don't have a home team, they often pick a team they can identify with or that is playing attractive football. It's also very common to be fan of a player and cheer for his team as well, if he's not on yours. This especially happens when a player from your favorite college team gets drafted by an NFL team you usually wouldn't support.

So I'm a Los Angeles native. The Rams were originally from Cleveland back in the 1930s until 1945. They moved to Los Angeles in 1945 and have stayed there for decades representing Los Angeles until 1980 when they moved to Anaheim (similar to how the NY Giants do not play in NY, but in a nearby city). They left Los Angeles in 1994 for St Louis. There are many older fans here in Los Angeles, myself included, that packed away all their Rams gear and shoved it into storage and recently pulled them out when the Rams returned to Los Angeles a couple years ago. Additionally, the Chargers moved up to be a Los Angeles team, but no one really cares about them. A lot of football fans here in Los Angeles, myself included, wanted the Raiders to return to the city of Angels, but NFL politics barred the Raiders from returning to Los Angeles and it's STRONK Raider Nation fan base.

It's only half the distance to the goal when the normal penalty in this case is 15 yards and the ball is closer to the goal than 15 yards. No such thing as a penalty longer than 15 yards unless its a point of where it's called like pass interference.

"Half the Distance to the Goal" means the yards required would take the ball into the goal. SO if you are at the 2-yard line and get a 15-yard penalty, it will be "Half the distance to the goal (and an automatic first down - which may hurt more)" So it'll actually only be 1 yard.

The Rams started in LA before moving to St. Louis. Cities like LA have so many sport fans they always gather a crowd.

With Odell Beckham Jr#13 The tension started during warm up. The other team had small souvenir bats on the field playing mind games with him. As you can see it worked. Later during the game Josh Norman corner back Started fighting with him.

The play you guys were discussing about the catch, the reason why the coach was angry was because he didnt feel he had possession of the ball because it slipped down from him and he re-grabbed the ball at his stomach. A different ref would call that incomplete due to loss of possession.

You guys are proper Good chaps

I don't watch any sports - But, I do LOVE their PASSION!!

Frankie Boyle made a great joke about steroids and the Olympics. "Do you want to see Usain Bolt shave half a second off of the 100 meter dash? Or do you want to see him do it in 1 second? I want to see Dwain Chambers with the heart of a leopard and the legs of a kangaroo."

Ok on the Atlanta/San Francisco catch, it looked loose and there would be some argument that he didn't have possession when he went down. The thing is the rule on replays is if they don't have clear evidence that the call needs to be reversed they won't. That one was close but the refs decided they couldn't reverse the call because it wasn't clear if he had lost possession on the way down or not.

As of 2020, all changes of possession, as well as all scoring plays, are 'automatically reviewed', to relieve pressure on the refs about having to make a decision about it.

Also, I'm pretty sure that he can catch the ball while at the ground if the ball never touches it. For me, the ball never touches the ground so I think it was good call by the refs.

Don't play a man down, another player just comes in to replace him, but a player ejected from the game does face the possibility of other penalties and even fines from the league.

Now that you're getting into American football, you should definitely react to some of the "Legacy of Failure" videos by UrinatingTree

Absolutely was a good call on the catch with the SF/ATL game. That’s just coaches throwing a fit when it doesn’t go their way.

Yeah, that pretty much sums it up. It was a close call, but it looked like it was probably a catch anyway. Harbaugh just got pissed off he didn't the call.

It was late in the 4th qtr. If Atl scored, they'd go ahead with little time left on the clock. More about winning the game than anything else

Very entertaining….there are lots of rules for sure. Enjoy ! 🔥😎

@7:36 The reason why it was controversial was because you have to have full control over the ball when you hit the ground for it to be counted as a complete pass. If the ball is juggling in your hands or falls out of your hands when hit the ground, it is an incomplete pass. They was challenging the call, saying the ball was being juggled in his hands as he landed.

Would love to see you react to NFL bad lip reading. They are available for different years. They are hilarious!

Least likely phrase I thought I'd hear from three blokes, "check out the leggings".

You bought some or what? 😂

when an nfl team moves the old fans still support them for the most part, and they get new fans as well

An NFL franchise relocating is never a short term change. The new city has usually been campaigning to become the new home city, so enthusiasm is high.

The rams were from LA then went to st. Louis and now r back n LA! So they already sort of had a fan base there

The "half the distance to the goal" penalty in the 49ers Rams game was because the ball would be less than 15 yards from the goal; you can't give the offense 15 yards if they're on the 10 yard line, so they give them half the distance to the goal instead. So, if a team is on the 1 and the defense commits a 15 yards personal foul, they're actually only penalized half a yard (and an automatic first down).

The Rams originally started in Los Angeles then moved to St. Louis and now moved back to LA

That's actually not true. The Rams started in Cleveland and moved to LA then to St. Louis and back to LA.

The Rams were in LA for years. The St Louis Cardinals moved to Arizona years ago and later the Rams moved from LA to St Louis. They won their only Superbowl in St Louis. For several years LA, the second largest city in the Us, didn’t have a team!

There really are no less decent players in this level of football. Obviously the starters are studs but the backups are studs as well. “Next man up” is a common saying in football cuz it’s a high injury sport.

Also, they don't play with a man down from a player being ejected. It's not like when there's a red card. The player gets DQed, and is unable to return, but another player takes their spot. I think in American Football, it can ruin the cohesion between some units, because it is detrimental. But, in this case, the player that got DQed is the best player at his position in the entire league, so it is a huge thing if it happens early in the game(although in this case it was at the end of the game).

Rams where originally La but changed to St. Louis then back to La

Actually they are originally from Cleveland.

Harbaugh constantly whines, he's the San Fran coach who threw a fit. To be fair tho, he may have had a point this time. If the ball is knocked loose after it hits the ground before you gained possession its incomplete, and the rules were much stricter back then about what qualified as a completed catch.

Harbaugh bros (when both were NFL coaches) and Pete Carroll bitch constantly.

I think Office Bloke Mike is my favorite. Dude reminds me of my dad lol. Also to answer your question, the Rams were originally in L.A. then moved to St. Louis then back to L.A. But when a team does move cities (doesn’t happen very often) if the city doesn’t already have a team the people of said city will typically root for them.

in the NFL they don't intentionally "do damage" because the players, and sometimes the coaches can get fined. In once instance, the New Orleans Saints had several coaches suspended for an entire season, the team forfeited draft picks, several players were suspended, and the team, coaches, and players were fined severely. Check out "Bountygate" for more details.

They would put a back up in. In this case the guy that got ejected is a multiple time defensive player of the year and future hall of famer. Him getting ejected is a huge loss.

I love it when people like Michael Crabtree at the beginning, start a fight, then take off their helmet and run away like a little twat and let everybody else fight for them.

Crab didn't start it though. It went back to the previous game that season where Talib snatched Crab's chain after a scuffle. If anything Crabtree was being smart with how he was "fighting" if you notice, he just blocked Talib all the way out of bounds and into the ground. They're not gonna eject him for blocking. Talib got mad and started to try and actually fight. Crabtree's plan was to goat Talib into fighting and get HIM ejected. When Talib came at him again Crab started swinging.

Proper Angry 😂 ima start using that LOL

the best thing about the clips where the guys are throwing punches at guys wearing helmets is that Crabtree and Green are both Wide Recievers! They need their hands to catch balls.

Wimbledon FC situation was similar to the Cleveland Browns move to Baltimore in 1996. Browns owner Art Modell decided to move the team to Baltimore(Ravens now). I think there was a disagreement about a new stadium and funding. Cleveland kept intellectual property of the Browns such as name, logo, history, etc. The NFL added a 31st team in Cleveland in 1999 and used an expansion draft to fill the roster for the new edition of the Browns.

The first clip is passion I believe and he doesn’t know the camera is going to be on him!

Most St. Louis fans jumped onto the Kansas City Chiefs bandwagon. And since the Rams owner Kroenke also owns Arsenal, I love seeing them lose too. 😁

If you love this, then you gotta react to the best NASCAR Fights. Them boys go at it!

Thing about playing without your starters, is you're playing without the people who've got most of the practice, and are used to each other, etc. It's such a specialty game, everybody's got to know their role, and practice shows. As for having a thug do some damage to the other team...I'm pretty sure the league would come down on a team that did that, but also you're "starting" people who aren't as good. It's such a physical game anyway, the starters on the other side might not GET hurt, and they'll definitely put more points on the board (if offense) or get the ball back faster (if defense).

Watch NFL angriest coach moments 😂 Some Classics I’ll never forget!
