That call was legit by today's rules. The crown of the helmet hit the chin. Very obvious. I don't like it but the rule is the rule.
-
Peppers' hit...
- Incidentally contacted the bottom of the receiver's facemask...
- Force of the blow was delivered by left shoulder to right arm/rib cage and did not rise to the head or neck area.
- Helmet was not lowered nor was it raised when Peppers lowered his shoulder.
- Peppers did not launch, he ran thru the hit.
So in summary... was not targeting... was not leading with the helmet.
It was an overzealous, bullsh!t call reacting to the force of the hit made by a ref well removed from the play who was in a poor position to make the call. Noteworthy was the closest ref, the one in the endzone less than 10 yards from the play, made no call. He should have overruled. I think Berea will get an apology letter this week.
Clearest conclusion... we need NCAA style video review... and ejections, if warranted.
Here's the rule complete with Note 1, which is key:
b. Prohibited contact against a player who is in a defenseless posture is:
- forcibly hitting the defenseless player’s head or neck area with the helmet, facemask, forearm, or shoulder, even if the initial contact is lower than the player’s neck, and regardless of whether the defensive player also uses his arms to tackle the defenseless player by encircling or grasping him
- lowering the head and making forcible contact with the crown or ”hairline” parts of the helmet against any part of the defenseless player’s body
- illegally launching into a defenseless opponent. It is an illegal launch if a player (i) leaves both feet prior to contact to spring forward and upward into his opponent, and (ii) uses any part of his helmet to initiate forcible contact against any part of his opponent’s body. (This does not apply to contact against a runner, unless the runner is still considered to be a defenseless player, as defined in Article 7.)
Note 1: The provisions of (b) do not prohibit incidental contact by the mask or helmet in the course of a conventional tackle or block on an opponent.

Here's a photo series of the impact... note the WR's shoulder torque from the body blow:

-
Technically, he wasn't a defenseless receiver.
He had the ball, and made 2 steps before he was popped.

I thought it was a clean hit as well and nearly every NFL media type said the same thing that I have read.

Care to make it interesting?

Which means it should have been a completed pass and fumble OB... I think... but who knows anymore.

The rule states that you can't hit a player in the head chin or face with the crown of your helmet. Regardless if it was the initial hit or not.
I've never wagered against the Browns in any way in my entire life. Never wagered online either. If I want to make a bet, there are plenty of bookies in the Mahoning valley. I like to shop local.

It was borderline. The endzone ref should have had the say. It was "clear" that the leading body part of peppers was the shoulder to the chest but when the rec's head snaps forward from the blow his chin impacts the helmet. The intent if the def player "clearly" was within tbe rules ir the gelmet would gave hit first. Peppers gets no fine.

Correct, the refs screwed the Bungholes on that play.
It would’ve been a catch and fumble out of bounds at around the 5 yard line.
But the NFL struggles with the true definition of a “catch” these days.

Did you see the hit that Mixon put on Peppers?
He led with the crown of his helmet when he trucked Peppers.

Well the refs who were working the Green Bay Pisspuke game must not know that when T.J Watt hit the qb leading with his helmet hitting him in the helmet a sure as fuk helmet to helmet but NO CALL Because it is Pisspuke. Any more the wwe is the same as the nfl. The refs see what they want. Pisspuke is getting another ring this year to honor the Rooney tat kicked the bucket.

I don't like the rule and have seen it enforced in a variety of ways. Goodhell sucks on that one too.
But according to the rules as written, it's a good call.

This might be a gross oversimplification, but you know what I see virtually every week? I see a team that just doesn't make the effing plays when they're THERE. If we strip the ball out, we don't recover it. If Boddy-Calhoun has two chances at difficult pick-6's, he can't make the play (either dang time!). If Corey Coleman gets a PERFECT throw for a deep touchdown opportunity...he DROPS it. Listen, I haven't seen the stats, but we HAVE TO BE last in "big touchdown plays", right? Christ, about the only time we get a freaking TD is if Kizer gets close enough to run it in! Corey really hurt us there, and it just goes to my point that we have a bunch of players who simply CANNOT MAKE THE EFFING PLAYS when we need them. Kizer has Higgins open in the end zone...throws it 8 feet behind him. Kizer has Higgins open in the red zone for a 20 yard gain....throws it 9 feet high and picked again. Kizer doesn't see Njoku wide open in the end zone. Kizer doesn't see Dreggs break-dancing in the end zone. Kizer misses the fade pattern approximately 57 times in a row. Our defense has 4 people surrounding Brissett on 3rd and goal, everybody whiffs and the Colts score another TD. Our kicker misses FG's in a close Jets game. Skillet Hands Louis and Kenny Britt drop passes, and Crow misses holes. The plays are THERE, we just consistently screw them up.
Is this coaching? Can Hue be held responsible for his players tinkling down their legs when it's time for them to make the play? Hue certainly has his share of blame, but he can't catch the ball. Recover the fumble. Make the pick. Kick the FG. Throw it accurately, right? Yes Hue has messed up multiple clock situations. Yes he messes up some play calls. But he ultimately has put our terrible team in a few situations to win and they just haven't figured it out. Same thing LAST year. Jesus, that abysmal team should've won 4 games.
I need some coffee and perhaps a Xanax.

I was just reading about another exec that Jimmy Haslam hired. He said...
" I cheated customers and I did it well."
And I bet he could run a football team as good as Stosh and co. I know I could.

That was the only thing in the game that upset me Mark. Total BS call. As others have said- we're not getting the calls (or no-calls) because we suck.
which means the NFL refs are corrupt. I think they screw with the Browns, knowing goodhell hates us for demanding
our team back. look at how we started - not at all like the two later expansion teams did. and on and on it goes...
and draft mistakes never helped. and why would any top FA go to a team that doesn't even get fair calls from referrees?
and on and on it goes.

lol... This after I pointed out the importance of Note 1?

I think the point there was that Hundley had become a runner and thus, by the rule, lost his "protection".
But even were this not the case I hate seeing any call on the D when the offensive player ducks into the helmet to helmet hit. Case in point was a "defenseless receiver" hit on Cooper in the OAK/DNV game. Cooper had lowered his head to waist level and was leading with his helmet leaving nothing left to hit.
Bottom line: The refs need help with these bang-bang play, judgement calls, i.e., replay.
Remember when there was a 5-yd, "accidental" facemask call in the rules? It was deemed to be too tough on the Refs to call vs. the 15-yd intentional variety. lol... It was child's play compared to many of these hits.
