I read what you wrote. I just can’t find anything of value in it.

Dirty things are typically play behavior, and I guarantee some of them have been missed despite refs “watching like a hawk”.

1) He thought it was a late hit at the time and expressed his opinion on it. I agree that it probably didn’t warrant a flag, but his anger at the hit also didn’t warrant a flag. This isn’t some weird challenge system, where you can ask for a penalty and then get a penalty yourself if you were wrong.

From the tape I don’t see anything that warrants 15. The only thing His contact with the red certainly didn’t warrant an ejection, so they weren’t doing him any favors there unless they were being really petty and patronizing.

1) Beckham obviously thought differently. He was giving up and going out of bounds, and in his opinion the hit was late and unnecessary. Clearly a difference of opinion but he wasn’t crazy to take exception to the hit.

And? Naughty words are not the same as taunting. If that’s the standard for taunting then there needs to be a lot more taunting flags thrown for the sake of consistency.

I think it’s more likely he said something to the effect of “don’t hit me out of bounds asshole. Hey ref, why don’t you flag this asshole for hitting me out of bounds”. That’s not the same as taunting. If that’s taunting then there should be at least 10 such penalties per half.

They didn’t call it that though. They called “taunting”

Except they called it “taunting”, not “making contact with an official”.

Agree. Players should be ejected for actions that actually threaten the safety of other players, not for excessive dancing or naughty words.

And since when it that automatically a penalty? Getting in someone’s face after a physical hit (where you were clearly giving up by running out of bounds) is not the same thing at taunting. If it was there would be 20 taunting calls a game. He was clearly upset at what he thought was a late hit. He didn’t throw…

Possible, but I don’t think it deserves 50 comments. Unfortunately a lot of people have nothing better to contribute so the cling to semantics in an attempt to look smart.

I wonder how many more people will chime in on the “four of the best QBs in the league” line before the day is done.

The Rams played this same Tampa team last week. Compare the results.

On that I have no idea. That was clearly a blown call by the ref. Unfortunately replay couldn’t fix it because it starts with the assumption that the call on the field is correct, which it clearly wasn’t.

Because there’s no way to determine from those replays that he actually had the ball at the end of the play, because he could have just wrestled it away after the whistle (clearly that’s not what happened, but that’s the logic)

The way the replay system is set up, it doesn’t matter who comes out of the pile waving the ball. It only matters if they can clearly see someone on the ground holding the ball. If they can’t then they can’t overturn the call on the field.

Evans will always be my favorite, but Schilling beats out the others gambling ones.

Same. God forbid the players have 3 seconds of creativity and individuality during the game.

Are we sure that’s beer and not actual chrome polish?
