DJ Moore should not have been penalized for helmet removal

Does this mean the NFL will start calling these stupid endzone poses? Or are those off limits?

 

I agree. It should be a penalty and it's stupid.

Define field of play as any area not within the coaches box of your sideline.

 

WTF?  So the parking lot is in the "field of play".  I call BS.

No consistency with the rule. Not surprised it was called given how officiating was yesterday.

Personally, I would've been far more upset if DJ dropped the pass.

I put the definition of field from the rulebook on the previous page. According to that the broken yellow line defines the field. And that subsequently the solid yellow line defines the coaches/players box.

 

Just don't take your helmet off and it can never be called.

Yup, got hosed. Those refs were atrocious yesterday. Hopefully, Vilma and the other mouth breather announcer feel like a holes after poo talking moore the rest of the game.

Also, like I said yesterday, I swear a falcons DT took his helmet off on the field in the first half after making a stop. 

I’ll tell you…I seldom blame refs, yesterday, like SB50 was atrocious 

im like, how many holding calls against Atlanta on either side of the ball. All the Panthers had to do was breath

You all know most NFL rules are written so they can be "interpreted" as needed. I am amazed they didn't call PI on that last throw in regulation.

I remember Carolina getting skewered for taking a few sideline pictures and having fun back in 2015. Then this somehow became a thing in 2017 or so and now it's just annoying.

I thought the penalty wasn't that he removed his helmet, because he was out of bounds, but that he came back on the field without his helmet.

[SameDamnThing]

this is nonsense. it was a penalty. he fuged up. this "well technically" bullshit has to go. he made a mistake. we lost the game. it will be a blessing in the long run because PJ Walker isn't taking this team to the playoffs.

Why are people still arguing. A Rules Analyst just said it shouldn’t have been called. It was a dumb call but it can’t be reversed at this point.

That’s not a penalty, coming onto the field without a helmet isn’t mentioned in the rule book

Some people just refuse to admit that refs can be wrong.

I blame Baker Mayfield, DJ had way much pinned up inside so when he was finally able to show who he is it got the best of him....

I just wish there was some mechanism in place to hold these refs accountable. It is insane how much they can control the game. 

They don’t want to do anything about it because the league and the officials are cucks to authority and refuse to be called out for being wrong. It’s just indignant. 

Look at what happened they finally tried to fix PI by making it challengeable. The refs basically boycotted it and refuse to make fair rulings.
