Really? gonna let it go this easy? not gonna die on this hill?
I kinda have to stay away from this stuff, cause I can get sucked in pretty quick. I told a friend at work that, had I been Harbaugh when they were flagged for that ‘late hit’ before the guy was out of bounds, I wouldn’t have let it go. I would have thrown the challenge flag costing my team a time-out. But I would have made the ref come over to ask me what I was challenging, and said ‘the spot’. Then make him go watch the replay under the hood. Just knowing that he had to watch the completely legal play cost my team 15 yards would have been worth it to me...
One of many reasons I am not a coach.
Heh, I didn’t think Welker meant to hurt him intentionally, and it was enough of a bing-bang play that I am not that upset they didn’t call offensive pass interference.
I was just irritated that people were saying it was a legal hit when it wasn’t.
