Billsfan1972 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 (edited) The point is it a penalty because it is a dangerous play. Please tell me the announcers made up that comment?

Paulus Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 I wondered that, too. Especially, the QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DabillsDaBillsDaBills Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 I had to look this one up, because it makes no sense to me that a defender is allowed to horse collar a QB if they are in the pocket. https://operations.nfl.com/the-rules/nfl-video-rulebook/horse-collar/#:~:text=Rule Summary View Official Rule&text=No player shall grab the,who is in the pocket. No player shall grab the inside collar of the back or the side of the shoulder pads or jersey, or grab the jersey at the name plate or above, and pull the runner toward the ground. This does not apply to a runner who is in the tackle box or to a quarterback who is in the pocket. They got it right. No idea why the rule is written that way 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billsfan1972 Posted September 27, 2020 Author Share Posted September 27, 2020 Yes you can.... But the point is it is a dangerous play....

buffalobillswin Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Yeah it's been the rule for a while. But it looked like the defender got his facemask on that play which is a penalty. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its really only dangerous if a guy is sprinting with full strides; that's when you can end up cranking backwards on your knee. Defenders were even starting to use it as a strategy to hurt skill players when they didn't have to; thats why it got outlawed 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leh-nerd skin-erd Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Josh took two slaps to the head on that same play. And if aggressively complaining to a ref about the outcome of a play is a penalty, the NFL owes me 76 penalties for 483 yards after watching Brady for a couple decades. 7 5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StHustle Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Forget that...I was mad about them giving Josh an unsportsmanlike penalty flag cause he yelled at them. Totally BS for them to do that after he was mugged. Let him vent a bit. Happens all the time. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's hilarious that the side judge that called the last PI is also the guy who blew the initial call on the INT they didn't overturn. (I think it was him and not the back judge) I can't help but wonder if he was looking for a place to even things up..... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 I'm fine with it. It's the rule. What I'm not fine with is when they DON'T call the game according to the rules. Like the "INT". 6 minutes ago, Maynard said: So what do you guys think about the PI? I’m arguing with folks that it indeed was and they saying it was BS! At least that one was close. You see the officials letting that go a lot, but you could totally call it. He was engaged with the WR more than 5 yards past the line of scrimmage. The INT was just abysmal officiating. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Steelers suggested changing the rule, but the rest of the NFL did not agree. So cannot call horse collar on a RB in the tackle box or a QB in the pocket. That was the correct no call. Edit: That was responding to the no horse collar call Edited September 27, 2020 by IgotBILLStopay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
