did the NFL make new rules or did the refs make them up?

clay got called for a chop block which negated a long gain and killed a drive. But the player clay cut was NOT engaged with another blocker. The ref said that the tackle "lured" the defender in?!?!? Whatever that might mean???

 

That has never been illegal before- did the red invent that infraction himself or is this some new rule???

 

Later in the game boobie got called for running into the punter - even though he made NO CONTACT with said punter. The ref said that boobie "did not allow the punter to land" or something.

 

I have never heard that called before and I don't believe it was ever illegal before. did the red invent that infraction himself or is this some new rule???

 

Among some other questionable calls these two were the most baffling.

The punter rule is real. But their punter sold it very well.

I wasn't happy with the refs today. A few bad calls (protecting their punter but not ours, calling Hughes offside but not calling a delay of game, etc.) allowed the Colts to gain some momentum and stay in the game longer than they should have.

Not to mention the exact same thing happened to our punter with no call

 

It was not the same thing. Their guy was blocked into him.

 

As for the chop block, it was a terrible call. It is only a penalty if the player is engaged with another player. He clearly in no way was engaged with another player when Clay blocked him.

Yea, the ref admitted that he wasn't engaged with another player. He said out T "lured" the defender??

 

I didn't mean to bring up the other bad calls, just these weird two. But if others want to talk about bad calls, they flagged Preston brown for landing on luck after his half head half feet first slide, yet the exact same thing happened to Tyrod twice with no call. IMO all three should have been no calls

It was a bad call by the ref. That was a "cut" block by Clay, not a chop block. A chop block is when an offensive player blocks a defensive player low while engaged with another blocker on the offense. Brutal brutal call.
