I hated it when they announced it and I hate it even though it benefited my team. OPI wasn't challenged though was it? GB didn't challenge it, either it was initiated by the booth upstairs, or they called it upon confirming it was a score. From what I've read it was the latter.

Maybe not technically but the challenge rule opened this up for review. I hate the rule. Challenging penalties is such a moronic step for the NFL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The officials created a penalty confirming the TD. Which is asinine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hated it when they announced it and I hate it even though it benefited my team. That being said the Dalvin Cook call wasn't even the worst OPI in that game. I thought the one on Thielen in the endzone was worse or maybe I just didn't see a push. Dalvin Cook blocked the LB literally out of his zone leaving Diggs wide open. It just wasn't a very good play by Cook there. (The play may have still been made and most likely Diggs is still in or at least on the 1 without the block). Yeah. That was clearly OPI on Dalvin, but the refs missed it live and that's the way it should have stayed. Its so stupid it's reviewed without even a challenge from GB when the refs missed it. Blame the Saints for this mess I guess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blame the Saints for this mess I guess? Eh I don't blame the Saints. I blame the refs in that game who missed the most obvious pass interference penalty of the century. Also the NFL for not having full time refs and half there refs being in there 50s/60s isn't excusable considering how much they make and how important refs have become.

He ran right to the LB and blocked him out of the play. I think the play would have been made anyways and I still don't like the call after the fact but that was OPI.

I wasn't under the impression that a penalty could be called when confirming a score until this happened on Sunday. I didn't think the new PI rule had anything to do with that or perhaps I'm confused on which rule you're referring to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha the fact that you and I (and a lot of others) are confused on this isn't a good thing! (Following not directed at you Spartacus just another point in general.) IF penalties can retroactively be called I fully expect a lot more TDs to be overturned, again, I'm basing this off of the quote Al Riveron provided Sunday night. If true, that is a shame. Do they review the "entire play" during turnovers to see if there were other penalties then? I'm not thinking so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure a red blocking bag put up more of an effort than Graham. Heck, I've seen more effort in a javee football game. There is no shame in getting beat on a rush by Hunter. There should be a lot of shame in the effort that was put forth. And there should be shame for the man who called a play that asked Graham to single block Hunter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
