Nfl is bs

When prater missed that kick and they had a delay of game the falcons should've been able to decline it and game be over, not reward him with another kick 5 yards back when this guy can make from 60

That's not a NFL only rule. You can't decline a delay of game penalty.

No because the first kick never officially happened. It's a pre snap penalty.

It's kind of like a false start where the play never happens and not supposed to be allowed to continue. You can't decline a false start penalty just because the QB throws it up really quick for an INT.

Whistle was late as hell

Its been like for as long as I can remember. Right call all the way. The only thing Lions can do in that situation is decline the 5 yards. Go Noles!

Doesn't mean they didn't snap the ball late. Besides, the ref threw the flag but you couldn't see it and it may have been difficult to hear the whistle on tv.

one of the refs that was underneath the goal post was halfway down the field when the ball was still in the air, I wouldn't call that late...

This. I'm a Falcons fan also. It sucks, but the rule is correct.

It Sucks as a Falcons fan, but the right call. Atlanta lost that game. Bad coaching, One of the worst throws from Matt Ryan, and Julio can't catch. The life as a Falcons fan.

Actually, one can decline a delay of game (or any) penalty. I've seen many declined over the years when a team's trying to get more room to down a punt, for instance, and the opponent doesn't want to give the punter the extra room.

You can decline it, but because it's a pre-snap penalty, the ball would stay where it was for the re-kick. The play never happened because the play clock ran out. By taking the penalty, they made he try again from even farther away.

Blame Julio.
