Feel free to disagree with me, you already are. That’s okay.I don’t buy that. He’s not the first player I’ve seen do that or something similar. He did it how many previous times and then that time was all of a sudden a penalty?
Either they call it the whole game or don’t. They straight up selectively called it. I hate playing ref blame for losing but holy hell were they atrocious. Even with Adam’s TD I thought for sure was going to get called and the amount of delay of games they let slide.
Most times, players will spin it after a TD, but out of the end zone or in the very back. Not at a player’s feet, which could be called as taunting. Further, we don’t know what Puka said, it’s probably not a good idea to make accusations without knowing the full story.
I agree with you on the Adams TD, I got nervous too. He didn’t even need to push off with one arm, just chop the arm away to separate. The OPI noncall on the Eagles 3rd down was horrid. Two arms extended with three yards of separation. If you can’t see that, don’t officiate.
With delays of game, the play clock is not official. Most officials use a ref timer on their hip. Further, many referees will instruct their crews to not flag if the snap is imminent.
