Yeah, the initial hit was kind of inadvertant. The ref walked right into it. But, as a player, you have to know where those guys are and watch your movements. That was a pretty classic meltdown for the ages. I've never seen three consecutive "half the distance" penalties piled on like that.BlueThunder":q653axzh said:sutz":q653axzh said:You know, the yards penalized was severly reduced by having so many of them down by the goal line.

Yeah, you're right! In all my years of watching football, I don't recall a meltdown of that magnitude not once, but twice for multiple stacking penalties. T'was a thing of beauty! Our team really seems to piss people off! Love it! :twisted: :mrgreen:
I did think the Ram player ejection was bs. He just swung his arms and the damn ref wasn't paying attention and walked into it. He didn't do it intentionally. I hope they pull any fines that they may be considering levying against him.
But he also shouldn't have chucked his helmet after he was rebuked. Kinda dumb and he's gonna get screamed at for that one.
