This is what it takes to get ejected from the game

Last night Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald was ejected in the 4th quarter during a skirmish. Donald knocked the helmet off of a 49ers player. Two flags were thrown on Donald. One for the obvious push to the player's head. The next was for coming in contact with an official.

I could not find where Donald every came in contact with a NFL official. I can only assume since the push to the 49ers head came within the vicinity of the official, that is close enough to count. 

The entire exchange was instigated by a dirty Rams player stepping on and kicking Blane Gabbert once a play was finished. 

Of course, the Panthers play both of these teams this season. Anyone hoping for a break from the flags and fines may be disappointed.

I need to re-watch but I didn't see contact to an official either. Did it occur after this gif? It seems the NFL is really trying to shove the point of ejections down the players throats early, for any reason. Turner jumping wait for Cam to come down the field, a non-exsistant touch. 

If you really look into it to, Taunting shouldn't be a ejectable offense. The Situation last year between OBJ and J. No. was about injuries and player safety... funny how hits to Cams head didn't merit the same consideration as OBJ launching himself at J. No's head... the reason this rule was implemented.

The NFL has such a short memory span.

    • Great point.    I would lke to add that there is another QB on the roster who was terrible over the middle--Kenny Pickett.  
    • I don't think this is the year for Carolina, unfortunately.  I think they will have to make a decision on the QB position-all we know is that Bryce has year 5, but a long term deal has not been signed--yet--and they would be smart to take a "wait and see" approach.  I have not kept up, and I see a path to upside for Bryce, but I do not think we have aggressively pursued a QB when our QB was mediocre to worse than mediocre.  yes, his numbers are improving--but he has adapted by eliminating what he does poorly and not improving on what he does poorly.  Just my take and I have no data to support this view.   Basically, we go as Bryce goes, so the approach is not to bring in a QB to have him compete until we find one, but it is to make Bryce as good as he can be--is that good enough? Season ticket holders buy the hope of winning rings, not winning 8 games. Last year, Bryce had a resurgence.  Take away TMac and Rico Dowdle.  How good was he?  I still have hope.  Not a hater of plan A, but a hater because we have no plan B.
    • Yeah man, I've been here for a very very long time. Couldn't even begin to tell you what year. Maybe 2004 or 5? I've never really been super active, just enjoy reading everyone's opinions and discussions. I'll chime in from time to time. I have had a few different accounts over the years. It's always been a fun place for me to check in on my favorite team. Hopefully we can keep the place running for a long while still. I also would like to recommend bringing back the Lovely Ladies page!
