Has nothing to do with it. Ford was going toward his own endzone. Its a penalty

So next time you are supposed to let the guy make the tackle?? Instead of softly bumping him? 

 

No way that was the proper call.  No- way.  And if it was, the NFL is ***** up and needs to change the rule immediately.

That was a BS call and Booger is BS for supporting it.

Yeah for an ex player to support powder puff calls is a joke.... that call wouldn’t be called in High School but yet the NFL?!

What 's so frustrating is that it was totally unnecessary...

Unnecessary?  He woulda tackled Allen without the block.

You're bad at thinking everywhere it seems.

Yes, it has nothing to do with whether the defender sees it or not. You can't block toward your endzone. That is the rule.

That's a cut back block. Blind side block has to do with the player being blocked.

EXACTLY!

Ironic! We won our first game after losing 16 - 0. We give up a 16 point lead in our final game.

Question, should there have been a penalty when Allen was hit as he was running out of bounds? Looks like it was helmet to helmet

Exactly.  Not a penalty. That was not forcible contact. Not by any stretch of any imagination.

It's s ***** call, but it's still the rule. You can't block someone while facing your own end zone.

 

Then does our touchdown on the 2nd half kickoff count?

[RosenNOTchosen1]

How long would the FG attempt have been if no penalty?

Thank you for posting the picture. Ford just needs to stand in the guys way. He is clearly facing the wrong way. It's the correct call.

Called a blindside when he had at least a second of FULL eye contact with the supposedly blindsided player. Absolutely game changing call by the worst officials in pro sports!! 

 

Refs were giving it to the Texans every chance they could.

Didn't see any crack back block on that call.  Took us out of field goal range and a chance to win right there.  Tic Tac b.s. call.

 

Frustrated....

 

yup so was the non fair kick off catch, so was the clock hitting zero for 2 full seconds before the 3-18

And there's no reason he shouldn't have known that.

You're right. It sucks that getting in someone's way after they pass the line is a penalty. My mistake.
