I watched the video and didn’t see it. I suspect, though, that we read into what we want to see on such videos. It’s out there for everyone - you’re perfectly capable of posting things too and embedding videos...
I’ll bet the Detroit coach would have been very mad, players too, if they recognized picking up the flag as bogus.
This is not proof of course, but they didn’t seem to upset.
Yes, and please include the previous frame where the defensive back grabs the receiver’s jersey.
I'll link one of my favorites, from the late 80s, completely irrelevant to the situation in question.
He did not impede the receiver, good no call.
OK- I appreciate the give and take here... especially in light of the fact that I am a Johnny Come Lately poster... the refs did not have the benefit of reviewing the play as (perhaps) someone else did. I’ll grant you that picking up the flag plants a bit of suspicion in one’s mind. I shall now bow out unceremoniously and ungracefully. Hey what do expect- the SIMPSON’S is on TV!
Maybe the Lions would have scored but in the end, as they always say, that’s just one play out of ?? What 80 or so every game. They had the rest of the game to make that up.
(Assuming everyone is aware that putting hands on the face is completely different from grabbing the facemask with the fingers.)
I was just kidding about posting the pic. It was a sideways attempt at pointing out that the jersey was grabbed before the db pushed the receiver’s shoulder and arm as the ball arrived.
Sickening. There isn't a single commentator knowledgeable about football not saying the same thing. Not one.
He pushed the receiver’s shoulder as the ball arrived.
...which is why I love my ‘Hawks, who have had twice as many penalties called against them as against their opponents and yet STILL manage to win. The refs won’t be enough to help Dallas at Centurylink if they get that far...
A John Dean moment! YYYEEEAAAHHHAAARRRGGGHHH!
Exactly. This is an embarrassing win for Dallas.
Before the receiver put his hands up to catch the pass, he was pulling the defender's face mask. Pretty blatant...
