Where are the flat-earthers' predictions of eclipses to come in the future?
.
Too difficult with the flat-earth model, eh?

Question: how can the earth be the cause of the shadow on the moon when the shadow spreads down from the top?


.
I have already posted very good diagrams that explain this. The earth's shadow was higher than the moon's path, and the moon crossed the earth's shadow near its lower edge which is why we got a "blood moon" this time.
.
As you can see here, the earth's shadow spreads down from the top left of the moon and leaves on the top right.
.

.
The shadow of the earth started at the top left side of the moon, as shown above (left of "start").
.
When the eclipse was ending earth's shadow left the moon starting at the bottom left side (left of "peak"), and was last seen on the top right side (moon image right of "end" above).

Hap,

BTW I liked that eclipse video it was beautiful and peaceful.  

I just have a really hard time with some videos that

"100% discounts and debunks any further arguments or perspectives"
or
"Will shut the door and forever silence"
or
"Such and such is irrefutable and conclusive proof"

It gets kind of ridiculous sometimes.

Some of the videos have as much scientific accuracy as a NBC election poll.  I'll acknowledge that some have interesting points...and points that I can not repudiate with my level of education...It not the people's belief in FE that bothers me, its that there is no constant, no core, no limit, no model.  It keeps going deeper and deeper geo vs. helio, flat vs. sphere, FE vs F-Moon,  I was serious when I said what's next? Flat Mars and flat sun.  Just my two cents.
Hey, I get it.  Mostly, just being me.  Will do better next time.  Maybe.  :)

The earth would have to be over the moon to cast a shadow on top of the moon, which is where the shadow came from.  That's just reality.

Your fake model is the problem. The sun and moon are not always on the same side of the earth.
.
That's just reality.
.
If you're stuck in a "flat-earth" model obviously you won't be capable of understanding the diagram.
.
The earth isn't casting a shadow "on top of the moon." 
Earth is casting a shadow on the visible face of the moon. (On its side not its top.)
.
There is a visible face, which always faces the earth, and the far side of the moon which is never visible from earth.
.
That is, in our times it isn't visible. There may come a time when the far side gradually becomes more visible from earth.
.
But that could be many thousands of years in the future -- if the world lasts that long.
