Bounty Gate, back?

I think it was a pretty dirty hit on a play that was clearly dead, though the whistle hadn't been blown I think. No penalty was called. But...bounty? I think that's a little too much. There was also a questionable hit by their OT Trevor Penning on a block out of bounds on Darius Slay.

well

Smith is the same size as a kicker. Maybe a flax jacket going forward.

You want to make a jacket out of seeds?

The Penning one was just stupidity IMO, not much harm done. This one was more egregious.

I blame the crew for not blowing the whistle when his forward progress was clearly stopped. It had to be a frustrating day for Khristian Boyd. He didn’t register a single stat in the game.

That's definitely water level Zelda dungeon music.....

Why wasn't that whistled dead? Refs need to do better.

Yeah, if the whistle wasn't blown - it's hard to fault the player....if Smith slips out - he's got enough speed and agility to leave them in the dust...I usually do hate seeing these kinds of late hits, but usually that's because the whistle is being blown...doesn't appear to be the case here...damn...

Was the play called a penalty... it looks like a helmet to helmet hit on the video. Even sent DeVonta's helmet flying off of his head. IMO the hit is deserving of a fine if these are the hits the NFL wants to remove from game.

Agree that referee's did DeVonta no favors with not blowing the whistle... he was clearly stopped and moving backwards.

Exactly correct on Penning. I remember that being the knock on him coming out of college, lots of personal fouls, borderline dirty player.

No penalty called.

His check will be lighter, you can count on that. Not that it helps out Smith or fixes the problem.

Smith already ruled out with a concussion for this Sunday’s game.

 

[fastforward]

It was a dirty hit on a 'by rule' defenseless player. Smith was already in the grasp of a tackler and his forward progress had been stopped. The lack of a whistle doesn't make him a legal target. The officials can't blow early because the ball might already be coming out. The hit was extremely late and it should have been an obvious penalty. I seem to remember a similar play about 2 years ago against the 49ers.
