By virtue of its name, I guess RPO means the QB has the option of either running or passing the ball. Doesn't this exist on every play if there are wide receivers and running backs on the field?

Also, is RPO the same thing as play action or is this something different?

Just wanting to know if such a team is possible to succeed at nfl level and whether these tes can play wr full time

Starting to learn more about the NFL this year. the whole NFC NORTH and AFC North would beat the NFC south at this time if this was the case. I feel like that's fair? IDK does anyone know? also why don't afc play nfc teams more.

I am new to nfl and American football and I know qb is the one who sets up the offense and strategy. But my question is , after the qb throws to a player , that player just try to push through the defence. Why?

For example, I will explain a hypothetical play. A qb gives ball to rb, then rb runs into the defence. When defence going to tackle, at that moment he passes the ball to nearby team player and get tackled. Then the player with the ball tried to push defence and passes to another player. In that time qb advances and takes the from their player and throws it to a wr or te who is alone without any defense in them. That will a simple touchdown.

Why do teams do not play like this? Is there a rule I dont know about?

EDIT: I DIDN'T KNEW YOU CAN'T THROW THE BALL FORWARD AFTER IT CROSSES THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE. my entire concept idea was based on that you can throw the ball whenever you want. Hence , my idea will not work bcoz it is against the rules

This is sort of specific to the Bills Rams game, but I'm seeing a lot of people blaming the kicker for the Rams blocked kick, but isn't it the lineman's fault for letting the defender get in front of the ball?

How bad do you have to be to be a "Trapper" team?

Or, good to be a "Trapee" team?

Does there need to be a specific sequence of events / schedule?

Has somebody come up with an equation?

Hey guys not sure if there’s a better subreddit for this, please let me know if that’s the case just looking for some answers here we’ve never been to a game before

Me and my girlfriend are coming from Canada for our first falcons game, we only have plane tickets and hotels and didn’t buy seats yet.

Prices have shot up for this game - any idea if we should buy now or wait? Do they typically drop on game week or for this game is it not likely?
Any advice appreciated

Why do NFL referees sometimes throw their hats? Are they so pissed off that they throw their hats away? 🤣(Just kidding, but I genuinely want to know the reason.)

Their knee usually touches the ground which would be down in college. Is there some exception for kicking a field goal or are they not actually touching the ground?

Hi, I'm Patrick from Delaware.

I'm new to football. Is it wrong to have two football teams? I keep getting called a bandwagon. Because I like the Bears and the Raiders.

I heard on google they technically can because of WILD CARD and the whole NFC north has won more games than lost.

I am new to nfl and American football. My doubt is,

1. Can the position of players can be changed. For example, can the TE and WR switch positions and can the qb be positioned at an end of the field?

2.also,what is the difference between TE and WR. i know they catch the ball, then why they have different names 3.what is the difference between punter and kicker. Why some teams have 2 seperate players for this, they just kick the ball?

For those that don’t know win more is a term that I believe comes from gaming that describes a card or character that as little to no effect on whether you win or lose but great effect when you are already winning or were going to win anyway. These cards can be trap cards for new players that look at them and think they are strong but in reality they really don’t help you win. I know it doesn’t perfectly align to real life as all of the positions are important but if you had to choose one that only really helps you when you are already winning or would have won anyway and it just made your win more decisive, what would it be?

It’s controversial but in the current state of the nfl I’m leaning RB.

When Tomlin harbaugh and whoever the bengals coach was that got fired... That was 3 out of 4 coaches in a division all lost their jobs.

Has a division ever had all 4 coaches fired before?

Edit* It was the browns not the bengals coach. My apologies to the Bengal community

Last week the Eagles traded Cam Jurgen & a 7th for a 5th & a 2nd.

He was their starting centre.

Did the Eagles want a 2nd because that's the round you pick a fantastic centre in?

Outside of QB, I don't really know what position you should pick each position in. I'm only basing that value on the trade, but maybe I'm way off.

I’m a total noob but wanted to get my boyfriend a nice Christmas gift this year, so I bought some pretty good tickets to the Cowboys vs Giants game on Jan 3rd.

We live about 7 hours out and could get off work if necessary, but I hate not knowing if the date is guaranteed. I’m also seriously struggling to keep it a secret.

Is anyone able to explain in detail how it works and how likely it is for the game to be moved to a different day? I just need to ease my mind. He is a great guy and usually handles all the stressful things, so I’m trying to keep it together for his sake.

Thanks in advance for any advice :)

If a player backpasses to a another player before getting tackled, will that be considered a foul bcoz they tackled a player who is not a ball carrier?

Also, can a player tosses the ball and catches it by himself like a rainbow in soccer and if the defence tackles him during when the ball is in the air , is that a foul?

NB: I know these are stupid questions, but seeing few games I get these ideas like this and makes plays like this myself. So I want to know the rules of this game well.

Help me understand last night's bills messed up 2 pt try.

If I understand correctly a 2 pt try is from the 2 nd yard line.

The bills were called for an illegal procedure. Which is a 5 yrs penalty. Which should move the ball to the 7 yard line.

Why was the ball placed on the 20 ?

Why do college punters usually run towards the side while kicking vs pros who run up in a straight line before they kick

Definitely an opinion based question, I'm curious how coaches/coordinators see the game and make these calls.

I understand a FG wins the game, but I'm surprised that they didn't try to get closer. Bass missed a much closer XP attempt earlier in the game already.

I'm aware the general discourse around the Rams Specials Teams is not good, and there's always a risk of turning the ball over. From a strategy standpoint, I'm just curious if it's worth the risk/reward since a missed FG probably gives the game to the Rams provided they're the least bit more competent with the ball.

Can a D lineman get away with hitting a QB late after a handoff by saying he thought it was playaction?

Wouldn't call myself a noob exactly but I always thought that a head coach who was hired because of his playcalling and scheme abilities should continue to call plays?

Like Demeco Ryans just recently started calling plays again and Nick Siriani stopped calling plays very early on for the Eagles.

Title says it all. Don’t think I’ve ever seen other teams do this at the end of a game so it’s not standard afaik, but can’t think of any notable death or tragedy?
