I'd guess that if it was ruled a post-possession foul that didn't reverse the change of possession, it should be assessed either from the spot of possession or the spot of the foul. AZ would have been moved back 15 years with a first and 10 in GB territory. But I'd want to see the league officiating office weigh on in that one.

re: ...Packers were jobbed after giving up 51 points Preface that statement with, The #2 defense in the entire NFL, the GB Packers. The refs were letting these guys play for the most part, sans the 4 penalties on M. Adams of the Cardinals. I would have played these guys the same way as Adams did. With such a size disadvantage, he was actually saving TD's early than they actually occurred. Funny thought, aye? :)

This article may answer your question: espn.go.com Here is the full explanation from the NFL: A "facemask" penalty is a judgment call that is not reviewable by replay. Rule 12, Section 2, Article 5 of the NFL Rule Book (page 81) states that "no player shall twist, turn, or pull the facemask of an opponent in any direction." The Rule Book describes the penalty as follows: "Penalty: For twisting, turning or pulling the mask: loss of 15 yards. A personal foul. The player may be disqualified if the action is judged by the official(s) to be of a flagrant nature." The Rule Book describes an approved ruling as it relates to facemask penalties (page 81). "A.R. 12.12 - Third-and-10 on A30. Runner A1 runs to the A33, where he is tackled by B1, who incidentally grasps A1's facemask on the tackle, but it is not a twist, turn or pull. Ruling: A's ball, fourth-and-seven, on A33. No foul."
