The rule is the ball needs to be hiked by the time the clock hits :00 they weren’t even lined up when the play clock hit :00

But they don't ever enforce the rule that way. They always give an additional tick after the clock hits zeros before throwing the flag. Literally always.

Bills need to stop running that play. I'm confused what they aren't getting here. Either start running a traditional QB sneak and spread the D out or give it your RB.

That’s not true, they aren’t giving an extra click, they watch for the clock the. Look to see if they hiked the ball which takes about a second. In this instance they weren’t lined up so it’s easy to see there was a delay.

Not quite. The official clock (as opposed to what is on the TV) has hundredths of a second. So they're waiting for it to hit :00.00. That means there is nearly a full second before the clock ACTUALLY hits zero. They should show that clock on TV to stop this topic from being debated so much.

The Bills are going to get screwed. The Officials can't even agree on the spot. One was short and the other was not.

Good. Should be a 2 yard penalty for a tush push anyway. :p
