Travis Kelce on Josh Allen taunting penalty: "So F---- whack"

[beebe]

Says it was one of the weakest taunting calls he's ever seen.

I mean I thought it was hilarious but it was the definition of taunting. He pointed at the guy haha.

No worries.  We are trading him.

So did Joe Burroughs on one of his runs for a first down, but no penalty there…

[GoBills808]

its def always a penalty, you got to keep your head

 

but in his defense im pretty sure he was reacting to the hit he took late and low from Hubbard

At least it might show a little self awareness, I’m sure Kelce knows that he and Mahomes do such things quite frequently. I mentioned that fact when Allen was flagged.

I think they make a good point that there are far worse things you can do, including screaming in their face and calling them all manner of foul names, but simply pointing is called every time.

 

They just need to do away with taunting. They can still call really bad stuff under unsportsmanlike conduct. They don't need a separate taunting stuff for these silly things.

 

Allen was basically saying "Ha! Got you." The defender would probably agree.

It’s stupid that it’s a penalty but it’s a penalty.. boring 

[Ya Digg?]

So why does Tyreek never get called for his peace sign he constantly flashes?

Nah fuq him…

[ChrisWatson#21]

He is friends with Josh so of course he is going to think it was wack.  What makes me angry though is where was the taunting flag in the divisional vs KC when Tyreek gave the deuces to Poyer & co when running by them?  No consistency with these calls.  They call whatever they want whenever they feel like it.

When they called it, I thought it would take away the TD, but they didn’t and in the end it only cost us about 7 yards, not a big deal.

Pretty sure that was a blown call as far as enforcing it. He wasn't in the end zone yet. The play was still live. I think they realized they were going to have to get a TD reversed based on the loose whistle and panicked.

used to despise T Kelce and now i kind of like him

[Airseven]

The point was cringy.

[Special K]

Not as bad a penalty as the intentional grounding penalty....that one cost the Bills a chance at 3 points.

This.  To the letter of the rule it was a penalty.  Just like that throw they called intentional grounding when really the receiver just cut off his route.  There are far worse things like the facemask not called or the sliding tripping tackle not called.  Or in another game the guy taking his helmet off and hitting someone with it not called.  This taunting rule is just stupid.  Even stupider Josh could have gotten ejected for another similar act.  The NFL rules just don't make sense.  Much like some of their fines don't make sense.

What kills me is that when "finger pointing" is called, it's generally when it's done after the play...not while the play is still going.
