Since when did you gain the ability to challenge a play to review it for a penalty?

Lol, I have never ever seen this poo once before...   Now twice???

The NFL doing its best to make the NFC East interesting...

Yeah, that "officiating" was atrocious. 

 

I even tweeted Mike Pereira about this poo for clarification and never got a response.   I imagine it's hard to find something to say that isn't complete and utter bullshit.

Ive never seen a penalty added after a replay either. Would love to hear official clarification. 

[BIGH2001]

I thought the same thing. I have never seen a penalty added after a replay. If that's the case they could review every play for something. 

[bigskypanthersguy]

Rivera, Gettleman, JR and maybe even Cam himself need to get on the league for that.  It was ridiculous.

Man, do you guys ever watch football besides Panthers games?  Certain penalties are reviewable and illegal touching is one of them (along with illegal substitution).  

[MHS831]

I thought Rivera should have challenged the play because the ball was un-catchable.

[MHS831]

Well then my apologies...   As long as replay has been back, I've always heard that you could not be penalized after review if it wasn't called live.  I may have seen the twelve men call before, but that's a dead ball penalty.

Nobody understands all the NFL rules.  They are crazy. 

[Proudiddy]

Yeah, those who say it is reviewable must have access to an actual up-to-the-minute-updated rulebook, because again, I've heard time and time again, even from pereira himself, that penalties cannot be assessed as a result of replay...  He never said "except for.." it was point blank, period. 

These motherfugers not only did it once, but TWICE!!! In one game!  Lol.  I just couldn't believe no one was correcting it or calling them on it. 

I'd also like to point out another horrible new habit the refs have developed this year that I had never seen before this season...   I can count at least three times this season that opponents had ran out the play clock, the refs threw a flag, then picked it up and said there was no penalty because they chose to use a timeout lol.   Yet, they called delay of game on us in the same situation.  I want to say it's all been against us because this is our team that is involved, but honestly, I think the refs, as a whole, are just that bad this season.  I can't remember which game it was now, but I think it was Jacksonville, where the refs were blowing calls non-stop both ways.  

But back to the subject...   This was a complete contradiction to what commentators, former officials, and the former head of officiating has been saying for years.  I just don't get it. 

[Proudiddy]

Again, I watch football when and wherever I can get it...   And I've never seen a penalty assessed after review as a result of the review.  And as I said, guys like pereira have said  that themselves, with no exceptions, so I'm not making it up.  

And regardless, how do you explain the pass interference call at the end (which I still don't know why it wasn't ruled uncatchable anyway)?  What about holding up the play so they can pull our best DB out for no fuging reason?  What about allowing teams to repeatedly run out of play clock and then give them the option to use a timeout after the flag was already thrown?  The officials are making up the rules as they see fit.

Please show me where Pereira said that.  I can think of a few:

- Illegal forward pass beyond the line of scrimmage

- Illegal touching due to receiver being out of bounds

- Illegal touching of an onside kick

- Illegal forward handoff (yes, this exists)

- Tipped forward pass (that negates a pass interference)

- Illegal substitution (more than 11 players on the field)

All of these are reviewable and can result in a penalty being assessed even if one was not thrown initially.

[pantherphan96]

I thought that they were able to review said plays, but could not call penalties as a result of those plays. Once they overturned the ruling of PI due to a tipped pass, I did not think that you could challenge whether the pass was tipped. As far as I knew, you could only challenge things like change of possession, forward pass vs fumble, etc. I have never seen a penalty be retroactively added after a review. Seems like some NFC East home cooking for sure.

Damn, is that a grey hair?
