This is an argument I'm having in another thread. Supposedly this hit should have been flagged because Mahomes was heading out of bounds even though he asnt officially out of bounds yet. IMO, there's no way this should be flagged. A player in bounds is a player in bounds and can get hit. As much as I'd love for Mahomes to be protected, objectively there's no way they should call a penalty here.

Also it's weird how people hate the refs but want to add even more subjectivity to how they rule. So now they have to guess if a player is clearly going out of bounds on not? Makes no sense to me but hey...I'm CPs chief contrarian so I may be way off...

There should have been a brawl after that. Defend your guy, linemen.

I've never seen a hit like this not called unnecessary roughness on an elite QB. And I can guarantee that if Mahomes was playing a different team in a different context, it absolutely would have been.

It would have been called against Tom Brady.

Messed up on the 3rd poll choice, I really am a dumbass LMAO. Should be "No it's not a penalty..."

Should it be? No. Do they often call that? Absolutely.

So, it should or shouldn't be called a penalty?

Can you fix the 3rd poll choice? :D

Yes.

meant to vote the ORIGINAL #3 but happy with 1 now that the poll changed.

Definitely necessary.

No penalty.


:rolleyes:

Yes you are. :D

If they never called it I would be fine with it not being. But in this league that's a penalty. They always call that.

The one they took away with the lb landing on Mahomes, ok, you can talk me into that one. Those kind they don't get consistent ever. But this they almost always call.

Yes especially on the leagues "favored" golden boys.

If they’re trying to be consistent, then yes that should be called
