[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 685290"] That first example is pretty odd. After that I lost interest. A teams makes a field goal on 4th. and 2 but the defense was offside. I cannot recall a recent instance where a team did not "take the points off the board" and take the penalty. So who follows this unwritten rule? Nobody. There are few unusual situations where it is clear the points should be kept. At an extreme, the clock is winding down and your kicker makes the 55 yarder to take the lead. Yeah, of course, you keep the points. But as a matter of routine in the predominant kinds of situations, the team takes the penalty almost universally. [/QUOTE]
