Flags/Penalties

The Henry 75 yard TD they were talking about illegal man down field possibly. I didn’t really focus on that but it was apparently close.
Clearly in your photo the ball has already been thrown.
ARTICLE 2. AFTER PASS IS THROWN
After the ball leaves the passer’s hand, ineligible pass receivers can advance more than one yard beyond the line of scrimmage, or beyond the position reached by their initial charge, provided that they do not block or contact a defensive player, who is more than one yard beyond the line of scrimmage, until the ball is touched by a player of either team. Such prior blocking and/or contact is pass interference if it occurs in the vicinity of where the ball is thrown. See 8-3-1-Note above for exception when blocker maintains continuous contact.

Yeah I brought it up because Romo or the other analyst mentioned it as a reason that the refs would have been reviewing the TD.
They didn’t miss that call. A flag should not have been thrown on that
I thought maybe they were going to drop a flag way after the fact (wishful thinking) on the blatant push/block in the back Right in front of the pass catcher.

I watch MLB as well as football. It’s amazing at the hair close plays that are called right in baseball. Of course having full time well paid officials helps. I guess the NFL can’t or won’t afford good officiating. Training and money works.
For sure, my dude. I'm not being funny or dramatic when I say it's making the game unwatchable.
the GOAT agrees with me too: https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/27655167/brady-turns-tnf-citing-ridiculous-penalties

good to see the real game pace of football again..from TNF, flag counts are down today. Qb's taking some hits with refs keeping flags in their pockets.. Holds have been the legit holds.. Not baa-baa for a ?..

If only there was a referee standing right over the players to eject a dude for literally choking a player on the field..man, too bad.
Anything less than some game suspensions is unacceptable, for both the player and the ref.

Ya I saw that. Will he be their next knife murderer? Refs were told to call less penalties. That sure didn’t make them better tho

Obj threw a punch also and didn't get ejected. If they go back and suspend Humphrey for the choking then expect obj to get suspended for throwing a little 1-2 combo

Punches are thrown quite often in games. Can't say I see the two hands to the throat takedown very often though.

Have seen a choke hold in football since Reynolds choked Sorgi...
We may have been in the playoffs in 07 if it was applied a little tighter. Lol.
To Humphrey’s credit he apologized yesterday, I think he even realized he was way over the line

I don't disagree, but the below poster is exactly right. There's probably 3-4 cases of a dude throwing a blow like OBJ did on any given football Sunday. He was wrong to do it, and is very likely to get fined. Here's the direct replay: https://sports.yahoo.com/drama-in-browns-ravens-leads-to-obj-getting-chokeslammed-by-marlon-humphrey-200322604.html. OBJ was clearly getting held by the way, but that action "punch" isn't something that makes you recoil.
Humphry on the other hand committed what would be a felony and even attempted murder in some cases, and that's not being dramatic. It just ain't the same. If Burfict just got a full year suspension for a helmet to helmet hit, there's no way this shouldn't get at least one game. It's absolutely unacceptable.

First... anyone throwing a punch at a helmeted player is stupid.... because... you know... helmet...
But for a skill position player, especially Receivers and QBs, to do so is double-stupid... at a minimum.

Apparently Humphrey was told by Harbaugh "to get physical" with OBJ. Also apparently that's SOP around the league to stop Beckham. BTW, on the pass Beckham threw- I thought they easily could have called PI.

I thought perhaps that Freddie would challenge that now that PI penalties can be challenged.

Ratley was wearing a Raven. It could have been called. But The PI reviews haven’t been overturned that often and I don’t think they give PI serious consideration in jump ball scenarios. This was almost like a one on one Hail Mary scenario

Punches are thrown quite often in games. Can't say I see the two hands to the throat takedown very often though.
You're right but my point is anytime a punch is thrown it's supposed to be automatic ejection. So if they go back and look at it they very well may say OBJ threw a punch and should have been ejected but wasn't so we need to suspend him for a game.
Also I would be willing to bet that plenty of times players are choking the ball carrier at the bottom of piles a lot more often than one would think. As tour astutely pointed out look at the Robert Reynolds choke that actually kept sorgi out of games afterwards. He thought he had enough cover from a pile to do so. Im not excusing Humphrey's behavior at all I'm just not going to say "oh my God the audacity of Humphreys" knowing it goes on in piles at football games of every level from high school up. Honestly eye gouging in piles is a big reason visors have become such a commonplace. It sure as hell isn't for glare because it can't be tinted enough to block out light (ask obj).

The major reason for those visors is to avoid getting poked in the eye. As one of the all time dirtiest players from yesteryear Conrad Dobler said when asked if he ever bit someone. "Sure, if they're dumb enough to stick their hand inside may helmet."

The only penalty I really had a problem with was the illegal blindside block on Ratley. It was obvious that Ratley went out of his way NOT to completely obliterate the defender, which he could have done very easily. It was a cheap call and completely unnecessary. The spirit of the rule was to avoid injury, and to prevent those violent "crack-back" blocks, Ratley popped the guy a little bit in the shoulder pads, and it should not have been called in my mind.

Yeah I tossed the remote on that one.
it was such a lousy half @ss block too. He went out of his way to make it look legal. This is twice this year we’ve been hit with that one. Coaches need to step up at this point.
We were taught back in the day to yell out the backers name he’d hopefully turn and you would deliver a nice clean legal shot and clear the edge for the RB.

Hands? Hell... Conrad used to bite legs. In one pile he even mistakenly bit a teammate's leg. Story went that the player screamed, "Goddammit, Dobler.... that's me!"
And every QB knew, one way or the other, that if Big Daddy Lipscomb ever extended a hand to help you up after knocking you down, you did not take it... He'd try to crush your hand
