oldmanfan Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) Little mistakes in playoff games cost you. One that has not been mentioned was the penalty on Hughes during the sideline scrum after Edmunds’ INT. The Texans got an unsportsmanlike call and if Hughes doesn’t screw up it puts us a lot closer to scoring a TD. The guy is a veteran, but you can almost set your watch by him either getting a dumb Offside or personal foul at the worst times. He had three sacks; great but your veterans have to be the ones to play smart, not dumb. Edited January 6, 2020 by oldmanfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

familykwi Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Fair point. I would have liked to see the events all the way through though. Typically, a ref would like to penalize the original perpetrator and not throw offsetting flags especially for unsportsmanlike and personal fouls. If Hughes came right in to defend, then I have less problem with him defending a teammate. Grasping the face mask is a poor choice though certainly.

Buffarukus Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 how many times has a holding call been against hughs? by his interaction with the refs in the past its prob good odds that hughs is a marked man who is watched like a hawk and never given a deserved call but i dont have the numbers. would be interested to know. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterpan Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I just assumed Hughes did nothing and the refs chose him as a scapegoat. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Murica Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Texans had 0 penalties during live play. Plus, Hughes didn’t do anything tbh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haslett_Stomp Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I'll have to watch it again but saw Hughes mill around the periphery of the scrum then reach into the pile. I knew he was going to get flagged. It looked like he threw several punches but I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bermuda Triangle Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Didn't see a replay of the penalty. For all we know, he was penalized for patting a teammate on the helmet, like in the New England game a few years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that it's absolutely mind numbing that Hou had no holding calls called on them all day...offensive or defensive.....considering that most NFL watchers agree that holding occurs on every single NFL play, somewhere on the field. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been flagged for dumb penalties his whole career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This! He, above everyone else, has to play clean. But he can’t help himself. And I don’t hate that either. He’s probably a great teammate. Everyone on that team knows he gets after people, guys like that are great in a fight. But man does he have to be smart. I remember watching him dig into the pile, and I said “here it comes, personal foul” and sure enough. He just couldn’t stand by and watch his guy get piled on. So he grabbed a guys face mask to get them off the pile. 4 minutes ago, NewEra said: Did you see what he did? No? Ok, then stop.

The on field mics picked up the ref saying “face mask 55” before he made the call. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobbRiddicksTDLeap Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) The broadcast camera showed him run to the pile, and reach in. You couldn’t see what he was doing, but like i said, the onfield mics picked up the referee talking with someone saying “face mask 55”.

It was hard to see what was happening in the scrum, but it didn't look like Hughes was in the middle of it. More like he stepped in for a second and the ref threw the flag on him, despite whatever everyone else was doing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
