  • I've read in different spots, here and elsewhere, about all the Argo TD drops. I can only attribute 1 drop to a player and that was Brandon Whitaker, who tried to catch a sidearm throw, by catching si

I don't think they would have overturned it.  Does it happen 20 times a game and only get called a few times?  Yes.  Is it a penalty? Yes.  You can't block in the back.  It's literally the first thing you are taught when you're 8 years old in full pads for the first time, much like checking from behind in hockey.  Even though Miller cut in front of Noel that doesn't mean he can coast through him.  It's on him.  I'm also not so sure about the "he was gone" argument because he still had one more cut to make from the sideline in and potentially could have been caught.

Personally I don't like those calls.  They are so inconsistent on blocking penalties on returns.

This.

Until a player crosses the goal line the play isn't over.  I've seen too many instances where a ball pops out (player loses the handle) or gets run down unexpectedly.  You have to play it out and if you're on the return team, if you can see your opponent's back, keep your damned hands off him! This whole thing is avoided if the Argo player shows a little discipline.

Funny, the names of the two players involved have not been mentioned in any of these discussions, it's all about Karen and that damn prize money.

I completely agree... the problem in this situation wasn't the penalty call... it was technically correct... the problem is that the league has decided that incidental conact in that situation should be a penalty...
