like I said there was an illegal helmet slam earlier to pacheo, I am sure it was to take him completely out of the game. but it was not called as a penalty. about a month ago juju was slammed so hard he got a concussion, not called as a penalty but the bengals were fined a couple of weeks later. perhaps a deal was made to call a penalty later to avoid a fine, I don't know but the slam against pacheo could have changed the course of the game and that very well should have been a penalty, first down and at least 30 yards.RedheadedStranger » 13 Feb 2023, 6:47 pm » wrote: ↑ I think it was a **** call, especially at that point in the game.
The game was over when the ref threw that flag, and it was unnecessary. I didn't see where the defender prevented the receiver from running his route in the least. I completely understand that there are rules, but sometimes you gotta let the players play. It was a **** call in my personal opinion.
