"Using any part of a player’s helmet or facemask to butt, spear, or ram an opponent (Note: This provision does not prohibit incidental contact by the mask or the helmet in the course of a conventional tackle or block on an opponent)." "It is a foul if a player lowers his head to initiate and make contact with his helmet against an opponent." The NFL is such a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not to worry, he'll still get find for the illegal hit, even though it apparently wasn't an illegal hit in the refs' eyes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Marsha has surprising issue with NFL officiating by: Steve DelVecchio —Larry Brown Sports21m Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Marsha has a surprising issue with the way the NFL officiates games and protects offensive players FTA: “If you’re a quarterback, you’ve gotta protect yourself and your players,” Marsha said. “It shouldn’t be the responsibility of your opponent to protect you. It creates really bad habits for players. You feel like I can basically do anything. I can run and not slide. I can throw my receiver into coverage and not have any repercussion for it. “They’re actually gonna blame the defensive player for making a good, solid hit. Now the defensive player is like, ‘Oh, I can’t do that even though I feel like it was an offensive mistake.” The NFL would counter that rewarding quarterbacks for mistakes is nothing more than an unintended consequence. The priority — at least they say — is protecting defenseless players. Marsha said the same is also true for when quarterbacks get clobbered. He mentioned a play during a Chicago Bears’ preseason game where a blitzer leveled Justin Fields and was called for a penalty. In Marsha’s eyes, the offense was rewarded for a mistake with 15 free yards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ann Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 There appears to be an effort by beat writers and other NFL sports talking heads to get the taunting penalty rescinded. Yesterday twitter was full of the "they are ruining the game!" tweets. They are not wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Joe Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 (edited) I just don't understand the taunting calls when Lamar is able to somersault into the end zone for TD without being touched. Obviously showboating and taunting are mutually exclusive. Or is it the Brady rule? Edited September 20, 2021 by Uncle Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxx Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Buffalo Bills Rulings Review – Week 5 1: Offensive Holding, Kansas City. Q1, 10:37. This was the call that had Sean McDermott furious. To this point, there had already been three flags on the Bills defense. This was the first on Kansas City. On this play, quarterback Patrick Mahomes was in shotgun. He handed the ball off to wide receiver Tyreek Hill, who was in the backfield. He cut to his left and used his elite sped to reach the outside, and picked up a nice gain due to a downfield block by wide receiver Demarcus Robinson on Tre’Davious White. The only issue was that Robinson had his hands all over White’s jersey. He was, correctly, called for holding. The issue that McDermott (and a lot of Bills fans) had with the call was not the ruling itself, but the enforcement. This is why articulating the infraction is so important for officials, and one of the reasons why referee Ed Hochuli was so popular. Cheffers said it was a “ten yard penalty, repeat first down.” Had he said it was a ten yard penalty from the spot of the foul, perhaps McDermott and the Mafia wouldn’t have been so incensed. The next play was a 1st and 5. It was a penalty on Kansas City, they gained yards and still kept the first down? Yes. Robinson committed the penalty fifteen yards downfield, at the 13 yard line. The officials brought the ball back ten yards from the spot of the foul, and repeated the first down. First and five from the 23. They got it right. ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As he points out, even though they were penalized and lost yardage on the play (from where the play ended), it could be construed as they got rewarded with a first and 5, while gaining 5 yards... for being the guilty party.

Extremely weird. 15 yard gain on 1st and 10, becomes a 1st and 5 because of a loss of 10 yards? That's less a penalty than it is a free play. And that was a 15-yard run with a 10-yard spot penalty at the end, resulting in a five yard gain and repeat of the down. What if it were a 21-yard run with that penalty? An 11-yard run...repeat the down? First and -1 yards to go? (I know, it becomes 1st and 10, since it's still more than a 10 yard gain...but it's still a bizarre rule.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
