Not sure i remember this correctly. Wasn't the rule changed a few years back when Bobby was jumping the line and we were blocking field goals to prevent guys jumping the line? I seem to remember Bobby getting flagged for it. Either way it's not the reason we loss, but it sure didn't help. Would be nice to see games called fairly. Cant imagine how the Chef's will use this loophole since they seem to get every generous call on game day.
The jumping player can not touch any player to get assistance to go over the line, which is what Wagner was doing.

I have more angst over one the Giants field goals where Riq was completely unblocked. The Giants didn't even have a blocker shaded toward him. He could have easily blocked the kick if he made effort. Instead at the snap, he simply started jogging toward our sideline.
