Eberflus filed a complaint with the league. He says we should have been penalized for not allowing the long snapper to pick his head up after the snap.

As last I remember it, John Madden was complaining that one of the Packers DTs (maybe Corey Williams) was flagged simply by lining up across from the LS, while targeting the OG.
And Madden was pissed as the DT didn't touch the LS, just lined up across from him and then attacked the OG. The what the DT did was legal for the intent of the rule, but just the wording of the rule was poor.
Of course they have probably changed that since and maybe since McAfee played.
