Einstein's Dog Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 The lack of a penalty on the Helmet swing baffles me. They replayed it and it seemed to me the announcers were covering it like they assumed that was going to be called. Then things got murky, I guess the call was offsetting penalties, and the announcers dropped it quickly. But when I saw that replay it looked like the little guy was deliberately swinging his helmet and it grazed someone. We already had the Giants nonsense where they had what looked like 3 different guys doing personal fouls to our one and saying they offset, now this? Does anyone have an explanation on what happened there? 3 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo716 Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 (edited) He also literally almost hit the official I couldn't believe it was a no call... Edited October 27, 2023 by Buffalo716 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal Deek Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 He should’ve been immediately ejected, but Goodells NFL it’s a free for all. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if he will get fined. He should. As for the official ruling, I guess they must have swept it under "offsetting". But it is a whole different level of offense to me.

Warriorspikes51 Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 The broadcast pretended it never happened. A flag was thrown and player was going to be ejected….then nothing. It may have resulted in better field position for us to start next drive and Allen not having a ball tipped for the int 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostbitmic Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 He'll get a hefty fine this week but you'd think swinging a helmet would be at minimum a penalty and should've been an ejection. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal Deek Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Just now, Einstein's Dog said: I agree, I thought he would get kicked out. Didn't something happen like this with Cleveland. It might have happened anywhere. That’s the problem. The NFL has become an officiating laughing stock where everything is now open for interpretation by the referees. It long ago ruined the NBA and under Goodell is doing the same for the NFL. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the little guy wasn't even part of the original scrum -which was according to the announcers something T Settle was involved with. But I couldn't see anything out of the ordinary from Setttle, but did see the Tampa guy have a personal foul type reaction. They didn't even cover that well.

gordong Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 (edited) he not only swung it, he hit groot in the head for the life of me I dont know how that is not an ejection if he meant to do it or not makes no difference.

frostbitmic Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 After the whistle the Tampa O-lineman pancaked Settle and was taking his time getting off of him. Settle decided to help him get up which upset the lineman resulting in pushing and shoving. No need for a flag on both sides there even though the Tampa player started the issue. #5 on the other hand took off his helmet and swung it at a Bills player, that should be an instant ejection. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They weren't even able to highlight the original supposed offset - they didn't show what Settle did to get the violent reaction from the center. Even with Settle/center offsetting, swinging a helmet is a different level of Personal Foul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even more than broadcasts these days have been terrible when it comes to discussing penalties. Al Michaels showed no interest in explaining or discussing much of anything.

Warcodered Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Maybe after the broadcast openly called out the ***** officiating of the Chiefs O-line they got a memo about talking about bad officiating? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DallasBillsFan1 Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 (edited) From a reverse angle you can see it was a Bills player that lifted the helmet off the TB player. The punter raised his hands to the ref signaling he wasn't doing it. That's why. Edited October 27, 2023 by DallasBillsFan1 1 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
