Will Chris Jones get penalized for tripping play not called? Will Zebra?

[Big Turk]

Penalized? No, obviously not...no flag was thrown?

 

Fined? Probably not...I don't think that's a fineable play...

You know what the laughable thing is?

 

The Ref got an the microphone and explicitly announced:

 

"There was no tripping on this play."

 

OUCH!

 

😆🤣😂 

 

Josh, were you tripped? 😳 

 

The refs were trippin'.....

This really pissed me off.  Two refs right there looking at the play from opposite sides.  Neither see it.
 

Jones gets credit for a HUGE 3rd sack after getting schooled and cheated.  
 

I think it’s plays like this where the nfl needs to add an official in the booth that can throw flags on blatant offenses.  But I realize that it will

never happen due to “where do you draw the line on what that official could flag?” and “what signifies a blatant offense?”  
 

There will be missed calls- it just sucks when it’s so blatant especially on a deciding down.  That was a HUGE successful cheat.

 

It will piss you off even more to know they seen it then.  You can see the ref in the back put his arms out to brace himself for impact and start backpeddling.  No way he didnt see it.

So now we know who put $80K on the Chiefs. 🤔

The way I see it is, yes refs blow calls each week, there were a few in this game. With the way roughing the passer has been called this year, there is no way the ref should have missed that call. The good news is the team did not lose its composure and was able to finish the game. 
 

I saw an article that said the Rams are planning to propose roughing the passer being able to be challenged. It would be nice to also be able to challenge missed calls. Of course if the refs treat it the same way they did passing interference any rule change would be pointless anyway.
 

Didn't the league do this for like 5 weeks a few years back with challenging DPI, and collectively the officials decided they weren't over turning a single one under any circumstances? (Think it was the Nikel Robey missed call that got Rams to SB)

[FilthyBeast]

I may have to rethink who I hate the most on the Chiefs.

 

Before yesterday it was Kelce, but I think Jones may be that guy now. He's definitely become a goon and one of the dirtiest players in the league probably why he was flagged last week against the Raiders even though it was an iffy call.

[QLBillsFan]

The biggest issue I had in this game and others is what actually is D in particular DB holding? Seems like we got multiple calls in a row and 3rd and longs. Actually 3-1 first downs due to penalties.
Just like the Phins game where we had multiple and they had none. Meanwhile, KC points to the soft call on Kelce (who pushes off all the time) .. and it was soft. Just consistency like a strike zone is critical for players to adjust to. They missed the trip, but just like Brady seems as KC gets the critical call when needed.

That catch by Kelvin Benjamin that we ruled INC?  It was really a TD.  Our bad.

 

That TD in Houston that we called a touchback?  It was really a TD.  Our bad.

 

That crackback block in Houston that we called on Cody Ford?  That was really legal and you should have won that playoff game.  Our bad.

 

That contract that Indy gave Wolford?  We're gonna let them do it, but that kind of contract will be illegal from now on.  Our bad.

 

We have more apology letters from the NFL than any other team in NFL history.

Had no clue what the Wolford thing was! I woulda been 5 so makes sense but wow, what a grimy deal. Especially by an (at that time) in division team.

 

Found an article on it, with quote from Irsay... not that I ever liked the guy, but I sure as hell don't like him anymore than I did.

What I liked about Allen’s response is to point it out to the blind Ref IMMEDIATELY!

 

And to show, right out their in the open for all to see, exactly what that dirty move was!

 

So nobody…

 

NOT BILLS FANS

NOT CHIEFS FANS

NOT ANY FAN

NOT THE REF

NOT THE NFL

 

was uncertain about what he was disputing! 
 

Even multiple fans on the Chiefs Board, commented that Jones got away with a dirty hack job!

 

Clearly, Refs are substandard. 
I’m not going to rehash my decades old comment about firing them all and rehiring Div 1 ex football players, with high IQs and 20-20 vision, etc.

 

But surely, as a minimum, we are here now:

 

“ At some point, the NFL is seriously going to need a Sky Judge: Someone to radio down and call that tripping penalty — or to nullify a roughing the passer that isn’t.”

 

 

Sky judge is inevitable in my opinion. Too much BS going on, and at the same time, can be done much more quickly than standard procedure for challenges now. 

 

Let's hope they have the decency to make this guy a full time employee 🙄🙄🙄

The counter to this argument is that he was held by us as well.

All due respect, but that’s no counter argument at all.

[Michael1962]

My guess is that the NFL will consider it and decide that NE should get extra picks.

[boyst]

Football god's make up for these calls. And I almost think in full real time it was just a football move that became a trip.

 

That doesn't mean it wasn't a penalty. Even unintendedly a penalty is a penalty.

Move on

I hate complaining about officiating but with the phantom Roughing calls that are determining outcomes, a crew missing that flagrant tripping foul makes you wonder whether these officials are gunshy about getting criticized about QB calls.

[RichRiderBills]

I have never liked tripping as a penalty. I personally think it should be fair game. 

 

Most of the time when its called its incidental.

 

That being said it IS a penalty...and the Jones instance was as bad an example of it as their could possibly be....literally right in front of multiple refs and us all...on a critical drive and down.

 

I don't fine Jones...I suspend or admonish the refs. I'd also issue an apology to the Bills.

It's a penalty and always has been since the dawn of football because it's dangerous.  Dangerous like clipping. 

 

Those two penalties have been on the books since the beginning.
