I did replay in that thread.. and I don't need video clips designed to prove whatever talking head is saying right. I have the game saved just as I have almost every game since about 2007 saved. I archive the games cause.. well I am a computer guy.. it's what we do.. The still shot I posted happened on the play in question as you can see the ball is in the air and the tight end has his hand in Hitchens' facemask and is pulling his helmet down over his eyes. It wasn't there for long.. probably less than a second which explains why so many "experts" missed it. Not to toot my own horn but I reiterate, I often see things in the game others missed. Then if there is visual evidence to support my view I post it. The Hitchens play was pretty obvious to me.. I saw the hand go to his face when I watched that play live and was mad when the flag initially went down.. Then I thought, maybe they saw the hands to the face and called it on the offense.. Then when they huddled I thought they were about to screw us.. Then when they picked up the flag I exhaled. Here's the thing.. Hitchens was faster than that tight end.. meaning he could run with him all day without any trouble. The tight end knew this and knew he wasn't going to get any separation without using one of the "tricks of the trade." So he snuck a little hand to Hitchens' face to create some. I don't think he intended to grab the facemask I think his fingers just got caught in it and he probably pulled the helmet down trying to work his hand free. But intent doesn't matter does it? You hit an opponent in the face you get flagged.. Period. You clearly made up your mind 6 years ago that Hitchens should have been flagged so you managed not to see the hands to the face .. mostly because you didn't want to. But your not wanting to changes nothing about the play.. Nor will you trotting out a bunch of links to people agreeing with your take.. All that proves is they ALSO didn't want to see the hands to the face.
Oh Ron Ron, the only think you’re tooting is more of your hot air. I usually appreciate a thorough response but you are usually the exception to that rule. I asked two simple questions, when and where did that face mask happen?
Sometimes less is more and all I got out of all of that above was you don’t care what anyone else says, you don’t care about video evidence because you saw it live and you’re right while the league and about 99% of everyone else is wrong. I think you often use a lot of words to make a point in hopes that it makes you seem right or gain credibility when all it is is fluff, crap, dookie, etc but I don’t but it Ron Ron so let's try this again.
When and where does the face mask occur on that play? And a bonus question, who initiated contact? Here it is again because it’s almost as if you’re not even clicking on the link.

BTW, what replay did you show? Perhaps I missed it but all I’ve seen you post is a still shot which doesn’t tell the entire story and which is probably why you refuse to answer my questions and use the link of the live play I provided you.
