Refs mad about KC TD in Pittsburgh

[ivotuk]

Absolutely ridiculous "Unsportsmanlike" penalty!

It's Christmas and Scrooge shows up in stripes!

Announcers: "You can celebrate touchdowns, but not certain ways."

WTF?

Is that the one where he lifted up his Jersey like he had a piece on him?

One was where he looked like he was shoveling presents. Then as he is walking away, n it looks like he's scratching his right side. I never saw his shirt lift up. When they do that, they grab it from the front and lift it.
Maybe it "had all the ingredients of a shirt lift"

Another was Kelce dunking over the goal post after a TD. I've seen that a lot, and never a penalty until now...

They still beat the áss of of sleeters.

I saw a better view of it, and see where it could by viewed as showing a gun.
Andy Reid needs to check his as s and bench him for being selfish if that's the case.

Still doesn't excuse the football dunk penalty.

Or NOT penalizing Pickens when he gets a penalty for false start, then pulls his helmet off and starts screaming at somebody.

That has been a penalty since 2014.

Absolutely idiotic!

EVERYBODY was talking about the choreographed celebrations after a touchdown! Especially the Seahawks celebrations!

F the NFL! "This is legal, nope, now it's illegal... Wait it might be legal...

But the referees are selective about it. Pickens should have gotten a 15 yard penalty for removing his helmet and yelling after getting a penalty for false start.
The announcer said "Pickens better put his helmet back on before he gets a penalty!"

He should have been made to come off the field afterwards. Can't remember if he did.

"The prohibition on celebrations already includes not being able to use the ball as a prop.
According to Blandino, goal post dunking had been "grandfathered in" to be acceptable a la the Lambeau Leap."

'No Fun League' strikes again: Dunking over goal post now a penalty | Sporting News

NFL head of officiating Dean Blandino revealed on The Dan Patrick Show that players who celebrate touchdowns by dunking the ball over the goal post will be penalized.

It’s one of the various forms of unsportsmanlike conduct. The rule includes this language: “Removal of his helmet by a player in the field of play or the end zone during a celebration or demonstration, or during a confrontation with a game official or any other player.”

It is not a judgment call. It’s automatic, with no discretion or exceptions.

(Unless it's a Steeler)

From #PFTPM, a look at the rule against removing the helmet

The NFL has a clear rule against removing the helmet in the field of play.
