You can false start in the playoffs now. They'll let it go.
There must be a ref mechanic like with delay of game that makes it so you can get a brief head start on the snap. When a lineman flinches and the ball is not snapped they call it all the time. Even if it’s barely perceptible.

But this not the first crew we have seen pass on false start where the movement beat the snap but only by fraction.

Maybe like the delay they look for the movement then look for the snap so you get a moment in between.

The argument on those false starts that have been common around the league this year is......
Apparently the NFL/refs clarified before the season that a player in a 2 point stance can "adjust" his back foot, so long as he doesn't rock forward. Of course that just makes it even harder to tell if he moved the front foot early (most of them do) and came off the line.

They messed up the chains AGAIN?

What the heck? 40 years of watching football, I've never heard of this. And now it's happened two weeks in a row.
