You see what happened there?

They called us for procedure, marked off the 5 yard penalty, THEN reviewed the previous play.  We kept the ball, but the penalty stood.  If there was a review, shouldn't a dead ball procedure penalty be rescinded?

I didn't think they could review after a penalty has been called on the next play. Doesn't seem right.

That's what I thought.  Clearly, the only reason we got the penalty in the first place is because we were trying to hurry up and snap the ball to AVOID a review.

Officials were busy smoking crack on that series!

If the review confirmed the call on the field, the penalty should stand. It doesn't erase anything that happens between downs. If the review overturned the call on the field, it might erase the foul depending on what was overturned (giving possession to the other team, for example). But some dead-ball fouls - i.e., personal fouls, unsportsmanlike, -- would be enforced whether the previous play was overturned by review or not. The foul was committed either way. If a call is overturned you don't ignore what happens between downs, you just back up and correct the call, then re-enforce whatever fouls occurred between downs. By the way - a team can change how it wants to enforce the foul if the previous play is overturned, too. For example, if they decide a guy stepped out of bounds several yards back -- you might want to decline a false start penalty to force them into third and long instead of second and long.
