Eh even though that was a weak call looks like ref was in the process of pulling out flag before that little bump.

Referee Tony Corrente backs into the Bears player leaving the field and throws a flag for taunting. Absolute garbage call. They were calling bogus penalties all night on the Bears. This is what the NFL has come to. Officials deciding the outcome of games is becoming more apparent by the week. Legal gambling playing a role??

 

 

 

 

For clarity........that's Cassius Marsh not Tony Marsh.

 

And Cassius Marsh is an assh*le on the field..........that's the way he's always played going back to his Seattle days.    Out. Of. Control.

 

Corrente was clearly trying to back into him for whatever reason though,  that should result in disciplinary action from the league.

His hand was on his flag, there was no pulling of it until he backed into Marsh. And if was for taunting the sidelines, he would have already thrown his flag. It was totally strange what he did.

Why do you guys think they added another discretionary rule this season? Everyone has been complaining for years that the subjective calls need to be removed, and they randomly add in a taunting penalty? Think about it.

[Dr.Sack]

Looks more like Corrente taunting.

What does running into the player have to do with taunting, though? I don't see the connection. Wasn't it taunting because he stared down the Steeler bench?

That was the ref’s explanation yes.

Easy now, the decision has been made, don't try to bring commonsense in here.

[StHustle]

Bumping a ref would have drawn an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty not taunting. So none of this makes sense. He clearly didn't call that cause of the bump. Definitely strange  tho...it was almost like he got personally upset about the so called taunting and wanted to bump Marsh in retaliation. Very odd for sure.

[RobbRiddick]

The problem with all these calls is so much of it is subjective. Like a ball hitting the ground during a catch is pretty easy to see on a replay. But this stuff is insane. How do you define taunting? One zebra might see it as a player saying "I own you" whereas another might see that statement as part of the game and competitiveness.

 

Every game has flags but the best games are when the flags arn't too noticeable, they're just a part of the flow of the game. These ones are getting ridiculous now because there's so much gray area in them that even the announcers are left asking what the f is going on

May have backed into him, but he'd already started reaching for the flag. The flag was for what he said/did to Harvin/the sideline.

 

Since we have no idea what was said (and the ref presumbly did) it's impossible to know whether it's a garbage call or not.

 

You don't like the taunting rule? Fine, whatever. But it's a rule. The players need to learn how to deal with it. There are plenty of ref mistakes and bad calls around, though the number is dwarfed by the number of player mistakes and bad plays. But this isn't a huge deal.

It really isn't.

Well, it's certainly possible to know whether you personally think it's a garbage call.

 

But what that ref saw or especially maybe heard there? Nah. You just don't know.

This new taunting BS is literally the pussification of the NFL.  I cannot believe its a thing.  They are literally moving towards an emotionless, robotic football simulation.  The NFL has become more and more unbearable to watch over these last 6-7 years.  Too much is in the hands of the refs....And yes, money/gambling plays a big role in this.

If it were merely taunting, the flag would have already been thrown. It only came out after he tried to run into the player. It was insane to see. Watch it in slow motion. You see the ref look at him, orient his body that way, then increase speed. What he was hoping to accomplish is a mystery. A hip check?

 

And SVP chanting "it didn't affect the outcome of the game," is getting creepy. He's said it 5 times in 10 minutes. Superliminal messaging?

Really tired of people saying these flags don't effect the outcome. It does. End of story

I never understood emphasizing certain rules each year. Just call the fouls as they happen. It’s that easy. That’s how rules work. Emphasizing in NFL terms means we’re going to call that penalty even when it’s not one.

A person would have to be extremely stupid to think otherwise. 

[Pete]

Imagine if hockey had a taunting penalty lol

[njbuff]

Scott Stevens would be proud of that hip check Corrente pulled.

[SirAndrew]

Social media has been abuzz for years with examples of poor and corrupt officiating. It’s a shame the media doesn’t hold the NFL accountable with better investigative reporting. It’s never going to change until that happens, and I don’t count on it.
