technically, according to the NFL rules, since DJM left the field of play when he took of his helmet to celebrate, no penalty. Refs got it wrong and prob overreacted after they missed one of those calls on someone that got a sack in a prime time game recently (can't remember which game but I recall the play/celly)

guess it depends on the way the out of bounds lines are defined as part of the field of play. If coaches and players and media cannot be on those sidelines, I consider them being part of the field of play, therefore, since his helmet was off before he got outside those white lines, the penalty is %100 justified.

Regardless, the 'spirit' of the rule is intended to detour not just taunting but also the "look at me' nature of celebrations. That's why team celebrations are ok, and individual celebrations are not. And there is one and only one reason for removing your helmet during a celebration, and that is to get everyone to notice you, see your face, and see just how pleased with yourself you are and how great of a play you just made.
Technicalities aside, it was a purely selfish, me first move, and I'm glad they were penalized and that it actually affected the game. I dream of the day where crap like that is purely a thing of the past..that and the ridiculous 'look at me' on routine first downs with the players pointing, IMHO that should also be unsportsmanlike and another 15 yards

But what if you hid a phone in the goal post and answered it with Hi Mom?

tough call on Hock..its not like COusins hasn't had good TE's his entire career..from way back in his Washington days with Jordan Reed and Vernon Davis, Vikings with Rudolph and Irv..yet they've never truly flourished with him around. Reed wasn't bad the rare times he was on the field, and VD had a few good games..Rudy and IRv were somewhat useful, but never what they should've been.
And Minnesota isn't likely to be throwing more than Detriot had been...I'd say at best its a push for Hock, unless Cousins gets his stuff together

I'd say it helps Hock. Cousins has done well in the past with good TEs. Goff and the Lions have been more inconsistent with him. I don't expect him to boom into Kelce or Andrews, but I feel like he should be more consistent week to week now. No clue wtf the Lions are doing though. You had actually made yourself a good offensive team. Just needed to get some defensive talent and that team is finally one its way.

I would find it hilarious but stand on the principal of, although I was entertained, you shouldn't do that..lol

That was exactly what I was thinking of. And BOOO AARON BROOKS. Sorry Ass couldn't hit the broadside of a barn when at UVA, but kept talking about how he was going to be the best there ever was. Now25 years later his only claim to fame is being Vick's cousin.

Wow the Bears should fold the franchise. It was a good run.

 

[TREFF]

well yes, that one, Joe Horn..most of the stuff Chad 'ocho cinco' pulled..they're the reason for those types of celebration rules

Aaron Brooks throw a pretty deep ball. Wasn't exactly an on target deep ball, but it looked pretty

Yes he did. The problem was Terrence Wilkins was running a button hook.
