Trivial NFL question, when would it better for the offense...

[aj&uscgrad]

to have offside instead of holding called on the defense?

False start could blow a play dead just as a QB was throwing a pick or fumbling. Can’t decline a false start.

Not sure if this is what you’re looking for but I’ll give it a shot

Defensive offside vs defensive holding on first down

Very nice. Gives a 1st and 5 vs a 1st and 10.

This reminds me of a non-sports question that my young kids (3rd grade at the time) we’re proud to have stumped their infinitely old father with: When is 65 more than 100?

When?

Lol. I forgot about this post. Warning - it’s a 3rd grade joke. 65 is more than 100 when you punch the numbers into a microwave oven.

If you want to take a deep shot then offsides lets you know right away that you can throw over over the top on a matchup you might not usually take.
