I'm refering to teammates that followed the rules to bring the ball past the defense legally.
In this image, the player with the ball excelerated past the defense, where his teammate timed that perfectly
and received the subsequent pass and scored, only to be called offsides
The player receiving the pass was not camped out behind the defense, he timed the attack with the player passing the ball. I don't see that as offsides.
