DJ Moore should not have been penalized for helmet removal

Even before this, I can hardly watch a game because of penalties on every play and on stuff that had nothing to do with the play itself. I have noticed that SEC games are better to watch. They really just let the games play out. VERY pissed!

I was telling my friends this...  I could've swore I've been seeing guys take their helmets off behind the back of the endzone for years now without penalty.  Remember, especially during the lockdown when the stadiums were empty and they first put in those cameras back there?  Guys were doing it all of the time...  but then I convinced myself I must've not been remembering it right.  But I was so sure of it, I had even thought this wasn't a rule anymore....

Oh well....  anyway, surprise!  The NFL and officials screw us when it matters most and cause us to lose a game!

I keep saying it, but if we play games close enough that we need the refs to call it fair, we're going to be severely disappointed, because they never will.  We are the most hated team in the league by officials.  Period.

Its not about taking off the helmet, its about when. Only get penalized after a TD for taking off helmet. Thats what Im gathering but Im pretty sure you have to be the player that scored and the whole team can take off their helmets but not the player that scored. Its rather dumb imo. I dont see no problem unless its taunting or directly effecting a player on the opposite team.

The NFL has WAY too many f'n rules to begin with. Things are micromanaged into oblivion, and even then, they're often not even enforced, or if they are - improperly or utterly arbitrarily.

There's a reason for this................................Vegas. All those ticky tac rules are in place so the refs can sway a game into a certain direction to cover the spread. Pay attention next time to the vegas lines for a game, then watch how the refs ref it. The spread for our last game was 4 in favor of Falcons...................we lost by 3. There's a reason that a ticky tac 5 yard hold defensive call can result in a new fresh set of downs.

    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre. 
    • Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
