***Official Browns Vs Ravens Game Day Thread***

Also germane... taunting type stuff is one of the NFL's "points of emphasis" for 2016.
And I think that's truly the key to the whole call. Being that it's a point of emphasis...if its remotely close, they're calling it. In hindsight, the more surprising call is the call on Coleman. The officials should've seen that both guys were guilty in that situation and its either no call and break them up and move on, or its the offsetting variety of calls just to get everyone's attention.

Look at the video at 8 seconds and it is a straight on shot showing the ref closest to the players and the ref who threw the flag not even in view. If anyone would have thought that should be taunting it would be the ref closest to the players involved.
Two can play that game. Stop it at 4 sec just as the ball is leaving his hands. That ref is in perfect position to see it all.

The ref who was in perfect position did not throw the flag and the one who threw the flag what did he witness? He saw a ball very gingerly being dropped and bouncing off the shoulder pads of the ravens player. It looked like the ref was wanting the ball and the Ravens player was between the ref and Pryor so it is not like Pryor went out of his way to drop the ball on the Ravens player. This was in the closing seconds of a close game and why would you throw a flag on that ticky tack call?

Because it's a 2016 "point of emphasis" rule. The officials are on notice to watch for it and call it whenever it's close.

How many times have you seen that before in the history of the NFL?
Off the top of my head, I remember a popular little fella getting called for taunting after he flipped off the entire opposing team....... Too bad they called it, what a great sport it would be if everyone could act like immature punks each and every play.

They can, and they do. And it is a great sport. You can always go watch Bob Ross paint happy trees if you want.

I prefer to watch men like Barry Sanders play the game, while you like to watch punks like your boy Johnny Finger..... To each their own.

I'm glad you're happy once every couple decades.

Well there were a couple, like the PI call in the endzone that the refs put the ball on the 2 and not the 1, the so called fumble, You fags are so fucking blind it makes me sick, always get bullshit calls, like the game against Miami a few years back andthere are so many to even count. Fuck the Steelers and their fans and why the fuck are you on a BROWNS fan site anyhow?

Man, that little fella sure is tearing the league up right now, isn't he?
Let me rephrase - how many times have you seen an actual legitimate NFL player grab his balls and flick off a player or ref?
I bet you give your kids participation medals, too.

Respect and passion aren't mutually exclusive. You think Ray Lewis didn't respect the game? Night Train Lane? Bart Starr? Ken Stabler? Jim Brown? Brett Favre?
Funny...the taunting penalty wasn't "a point of emphasis" when they played....yet I don't recall them ever grabbing their dicks and flipping the bird and they were some of the most competitive guys around. You think they made some sort of play, looked at their opponent and said "thank you for allowing me the opportunity to make a play on you, sir. I do respect you"
Not a chance in hell.
These guys aren't inmates. They're professional athletes.
KK Short got called for taunting because was jumping up and down in place. Pryor got called for taunting because he dropped a football.
Spare me the gentlemanly respect bullshit - taunting is a bullshit penalty and is neutering these players. It's not golf. You make a play, you get up and bounce around. You shit talk the guy across from you, then slap him on the helmet and move on because you know it's just as likely he'll make a play on you at some point in the future.
The guys who advocate for the taunting penalty are the ones who never knew what it felt like to be good at football and to make a play, so they think jawing is a sign of immaturity or disrespect.
It's pretty esoteric, but it's the truth.

350 if convection oven...
You are all wrong in that you are overlooking another ref's point of view, i.e. the internal temp. of the casserole.
I'm throwing the flag on this one.
