The block in the back called on Baker

What a bunch of sh--. Smith was annihilated and they said Baker shoved him into him? I couldnt believe it.

 

The second one was when they didnt reset the play clock for us and called the delay....then had the gall to reset it later on in a play for Cinci instead of calling the delay. :doh:

I think we got it back (and then some) when Takeo threw RudiJ on the ground when the ball was in the air, then took it to the house.  :doh:

The ref's gave one back, when they called B'gals #40 (Madeiu Williams) for a block in the back on a Cincy return. The replay after the call showed Williams taking the hit, not giving it - unless it was something that occured previously.

It is perfectly legal behind the line.

 

I don't think it is if the ball is in the air and hasn't been tipped. If he'd have thrown him down before the ball left Kitna's hands, then I think it's perfectly legal. But once the forward pass is thrown, he becomes a receiver and it's hands off unless it's tipped.

No, it's legal. I remember a similar play in the 90s where Talley did pretty much the same thing. One of the post-game articles says that it's legal behind the line as well.

 

EDIT:

Spikes admitted to pushing down Johnson, Kitna’s intended receiver ( “Rudi didn't feel me behind him”), and he could push because anything goes in the backfield.

If someone wants to buy me the official NFL rulebook, I'll compensate them with all 8 Bills DVDs that I have... :devil:
