Gilberry Penalty

[Chiefnj2]

Was the Gilberry roughing the passer call any different than what happened to Palmer on this play?

Goto first post for how to view.

It didn't link to the correct highlight, I'm referring to the Clay Matthews sack in the 2nd quarter that you can find from the play by play:

Might as well make the QB's wear flags.

That penalty was complete crap.

Russell didn't slide and wasn't down by contact, he could of stood back up and ran.

The only thing the Chiefs did (sort of) wrong is jumped on him instead of just touching him.

Dam refs must of gotten some kickback from the faiders.

[Mr. Flopnuts]

I cracked up watching Haley tell the ref that it was a bullshit call. From what I could hear, and read from his lips he was saying it was the 2nd or 3rd bullshit call during the game, and he was tired of their bullshit. I LOL'd pretty good.

Uh I just watched that for nuttn....No comment.

I thought it was a horrible call. Dude dripped over his own lineman, went down head first, not a slide, he was not down because he hadn't been touched by a defender and no whistle had blown, and the hits were clean (i.e. not helmet shots).

That was a horse shit call. As a defender you have to anticipate the QB is going to get up and run if he didn't go down by contact. The play wasn't dead, He (Russell) wasn't down by contact. His fatass just ran into his own lineman and fell down. Maybe they should start making sacks illegal.

Looked pretty similar to me.

The one thing I noticed with Gilberry though was his forearm pretty much hit Russell in the head. I figured that was what the call was for, not for jumping on the ball carrier. Of course I would rather have a forearm to the helmet than having someone land on my head like happened to Palmer.

I have not seen the replay, but from the upper deck my impression was we were flagged because TWO players piled on him.

if the raiders pants where white it would have looked like free willy

It doesn't matter how many players piled on him if he wasn't down by contact.

My memory is a little fuzzy, but as I recall it wasn't any kind of a pile-on. As I remember it, they hit him simultaneously.

Here is the highlight, watch the replay after the call. Gilberry went through the forehead of Russell with both forearms. Of course the ref in back of the play that threw the flag would not have been able to see that though.
