Perhaps. And I should also be married to Kate Upton. Neither are pertinent to the fact at hand.
Should that have been a penalty on the PR TD?

They whiffed due to stopping when the returner stopped looking like it was a fair catch.
Anyways it’s senseless to argue, it wasn’t called, so it doesn’t matter and the game wouldn’t have changed.
Or, just really good blocking downfield by a receiver, something our team is noted for. At least I can see an argument here, but watching it live shows he is clearly driving the defender downfield.
I like the rule. You should be able to clobber anyone, it’s the Hines Ward rule and should be legal. In fact, targeting should be allowed. They always say we need more vegetables...
I have no idea as to what you’re driving to - they make the tackle there is no block. And they save their teammate from getting totally destroyed by a block that’s been in football for a century.
No...they whiffed because they took bad angles - that wasn’t even close to being a fair catch signal. We’re just reaching now.
Exactly it doesn’t matter if it is dirty play and can cause major long term harm to a young guy. The important thing is keeping things as they are. I’ve been telling my slaves that for years
That's a different and frankly irrelevant argument here. Good or bad the rule is the rule. They called it on the field. There was no irrefutable evidence to justify overturning. Indeed, head to head contact was seen, if anything it corroborated the call. That's the true issue.
Never troll. Usually always take the time to support anything I post with Gif's or full video's, as I did here. I do recognize your type of poster, we have many of them on the Miami board as well. Honestly, I've never understood the whole conflict thing. Must be generational. I much prefer just honestly discussing football with knowledgeable fans, something that I have been pleasantly surprised to find many of here.
It was clearly not a fair catch signal, other than the diehards I don’t think anyone really disputes that.
Definitely agree. He definitely did not signal for a fair catch deliberately. He accidentally waved his hand up. But it was obvious our guys thought it was. It was obvious to the broadcast team too who was saying they thought it was a fair catch.
You just happened to stumble upon two of the dumbest morons who support Pitt. Itt happens.
Holy crap you are blinded. It’s right on the video, hits his face mask. Why keep arguing?? It was a cheap shot, dirty play.
You can name call if you like. Your poor language skills not withstanding, it still boils down to the video. And we see it different.
Shhh don’t bring facts into it. Some posters think the refs are absolutely infallible and any question about a bad call on a pitt forum is paramount to calling their mothers whores.
Some video jockey bubba at the conference office put down his Bojangles bucket momentarily and overruled the refs call on the field.
The officiating professionals who watch the replays and make the calls professionally reviewed every angle in slow motion six ways to Sunday and found it to be a clean play.
But no, President Stache of the Pantherlair, sitting in his armchair somewhere in western PA, is the guy who has it all figured out.
Anyway, does that play really matter when the Pitt offense can't even get a first down?
It was definitely a blind side hit. The exact same thing Hines Ward used to do and why it was made illegal.
Not even close
He stepped in front of him in the direct path the Pitt player was running .
It wasn’t a change of direction circumstance- which is what a blindside hit would be.
No penalty.
And conclusive evidence to overturn the call on the field .move on
Lookup what Hines Ward did with Pittsburgh and look up what the Miami player did and explain to me what the difference is.
Do you know what a blind side hit is? Do you know why the NFL banned the Hines Ward blocks? They aren't clips, so why are they illegal?
Because you have to extend your hand over your head and wave it back and forth more than once. I posted the rule book definition earlier in this thread.
Rewatch the video. His hand never goes above his eye level and he doesn't wave the hand back and forth as required. It goes from in front of his face back over his left shoulder as he drop steps to the left to move to catch the ball. Definitely by rule not a valid signal.
