Week 6: 49ers @ Browns

[bigfoot5415]

Just finished watching the game. Thank god they don’t review penalties. Those last two on our final drive to go up. Yikes

The hold was ticky-tack, but the defenseless reciever was textbook. I've seen a lot of people complaining about it all over without actually knowing the rule.

Defenseless posture definition below:

1. A receiver attempting to catch a pass who has not had time to clearly become a runner. If the player is capable of avoiding or warding off the impending contact of an opponent, he is no longer a defenseless player

Prohibited action:

1. illegally launching into a defenseless opponent. It is an illegal launch if a player (i) leaves both feet prior to contact to spring forward and upward into his opponent, and (ii) uses any part of his helmet to initiate forcible contact against any part of his opponent’s body. (This does not apply to contact against a runner, unless the runner is still considered to be a defenseless player, as defined in Article 7.)

Amazing how the broadcast crew didn’t understand the defenseless rule and argued there should have been no penalty.

Olsen's bias showed more than once.

I get it. The play was bang-bang, but it's the definition of the rule. Blatantly arguing against it only creates fan discontent and boosts social media activity. If the broadcast explain the rules, or that jerk off Dean Blandino did; you'd see far less upset people.

I never read the rule. I was under the impression it was to the head.
Thanks for the clarification. Makes me feel better about the rule.

Right. The announcers sounded like they were referring to college's targeting rule or something.

I put 350 bucks against the browns. Apparently that's the key to them winning games

Let's get a pool together to chip in so you can do that shit every week!

Hell yes!

Best possible outcome in all ways,

Our defense wins us the game with some luck and bad calls that actually went our way.

Walker looks not so good so zero QB controversy...i cant reiterate enough how important both points are with 250 million owed ot Watson.

And no additional injuries!

And no additional injuries!

Well we won’t know that until like Tuesday. Shit pops up after the game.

High roller.

Probably a few old Cheetos and a pretzel mixed in with all that change he pulled from his couch.

Is it really?

Its like if Where's Waldo was a Browns fan

Oh lord. If he dressed up like that just by chance, his friends are terribly awesome.
