Helmet off

[khiladi]

Question:

Didn't a Commander's defender run like fifteen yards with his helmet off after our FB fumbled the ball? Was anything called on that play?

 

[Tabascocat]

It fell off as he was running, not a penalty.

 

[rynochop]

Didnt Garcon spin the ball at least twice after a couple of catches? Thought they were gonna call that this year

 

[Zman5]

And why wasn't intentional grounding called when Heath rushed and Cousin's threw it out of bounds while getting sacked?

YESSIR!

I flipped out over that atrocious non-call.

You can spin it, just can't spike it.

Didn't one of the Commanders throw the ball after a big play?

5yd delay of game for throwing the football after the play, I think that his helmet got ripped off in the scrum, so there wasn't a PF assessed.

terrible call, clearly inside the tackles

They called that one delay of game.

 

[Fmart322]

Ok, I didn't remember if that was called or not.

He's not talking at the end of the game when they stuffed Murray. He's referring to earlier.

Actually, he spun it 3-4 times. The NFL originally stated this last off-season that spinning the ball would be a penalty, but they quickly back-tracked on it and said it would only be a penalty if a player did it toward a player on the other team (aka: taunting).

I was at the game, and was yelling for a grounding call. The 'skins fans around me thought I was crazy.

I was saying the same thing. It was definitely intentional grounding.

It didn't fall off, it leaped off his head. It looked like there were springs under that thing.

More gray area for the refs to opportunistically play into the parity equation.

But did Garrett or the players ask for the call? That is what it takes at times for the refs to discuss and throw a late flag.

 

[FiveRings]

Thought they could have flagged Hall when he freaked out at the ref over that call, I bet Dez gets an unsportsmanlike had he done that

 

[Blackspider214]

So is it ok to now take the ball and throw it into the stands? Green Bay did it last week and Washington this week. No calls at all.

And yes that was clearly grounding.
