Then the other part, they move the chains. Aren't they also moving that spot on the chain for this next set of downs? Who knows if they get the exact link in the exact place when all of a sudden the spot is challenged and they have to move the chains back?
There is a clip-on circle that goes on a yard-line. You maintain that marker until the chains move. They re-clip to match a yardage line when they move the down markers. See like the orange circle in the middle of this set:
The NFL will reportedly consider widening the goal posts during the 2025 season. This change comes one season after #Bills Kicker Tyler Bass missed wide right & the #Chiefs went on to win. pic.twitter.com/RG26TE5SlB

Right. Like I said. They have to move that clip when they move the chains. So how long do they wait to move the clip? They move the chains, then move the clip and then move the chains back to remeasure? It doesn't happen a lot but enough times I've wondered about the mechanics of it. [Reply]

I'm not sure how what I posted is sucking DaFace off. I'm just calling out you dumb mother fuckers that don't seem to be able to comprehend what they are reading. [Reply]
