Steelers "off sides" on Field Goal call

I have a problem with it, just as I had a problem with an 85 year old Joe Paterno standing on the sideline. The bodies of women, children, and old people are not designed for the impact of a racing 300 pounds of beef.

This is ridiculous. Are we saying it is impossible to find fit, qualified males for officiating on a football field? Let's be honest. That is not what is going on here.

Yes, it is actually a problem to find qualified officials in 2023. And the problem only gets worse as fewer and fewer young people get into it, and more and more old guys have to give it up. And again, it's not just football...pretty much all sports are running into this right now.

No one was ‘off sides’. Both teams were quilty of encroachmen or lining up in the neutral zone. Off setting penalties.

For what it's worth, an offensive player lining up in the neutral zone is considered offside (at the NFL level...it's encroachment at the NCAA/NFHS level).
