it's obvious the NFL don't want Snyder and his Commandos in the playoffs.
just cause he checked with the official doesn't mean he wasn't lined up correctly

Receivers check with the official to make sure they are covering the tackle so it kinda does.

and didn't he take a small step up anyways?

maybe the official was like "I told you to move up and that wasn't enough"

Did you ever play receiver? You look to the ref before the snap and check with him if your good or nah. If he says your good he won't throw a flag.

I think that the pointing and aligning has more to do with being offsides for the WR. He's just ensuring he's not lined up offsides. I don't think the ref is doing a quick scan of the entire formation and giving the thumbs up that the WR is correct positionally...just that he's not over the ball or close to it. That's why you see them do a quick adjustment (usually backing up a step)

It's not for checking to see if the WR is offsides. It's to make sure he's either on or off the LoS. WRs off the LoS will reach their hand back to signal to the ref that they want to be off the LoS.

So please educate me (I really don't know). How could the sideline ref who the WR is checking with see the entire formation to make sure the WR is good? Wouldn't the umpire or ref behind the offense throw an illegal formation flag? I think the sideline ref is just telling the WRs they are not offsides and not over/covering the ball

No they point to see if they are on the LoS which the the Ref will say Yay or Nay

The receiver needs to cover the Tackle it's what the ref is looking for and you're taught from high school to check with the ref to make sure your on the LoS/ covering the tackle. He gives a nod to say you are good and he'l keep the laundry tucked.

Oh that makes sense. I always thought it was to check they are on the LoS and not offsides. Kind of like how you see a DE sometimes clearly lined up offsides, but there's no one for them to check with.

I consider myself pretty knowledgeable about penalties, formations in general, football in general, rules etc, but I still don't understand some illegal formation penalties. Like who should be on the LoS, who shouldn't, what makes a tackle eligible for a pass etc. I kind of just go with the flow when we see some intricate formation and the ref throws a penalty and says it was messed up. I just shrug my shoulders and say "I guess thats correct."

I should read a book

None of this helps with the fact they let the CB completely mug the WR and no flag was thrown. Yes, the league indeed influences games. Just another reason I'm happy our team can finally be the story they want.
