They both joked about it after. Don't see where you see that he deserved it.

Not to mention it was 4th Down outside of FG range in a close game. Instead with the penalty they basically just gave Buffalo the game.

Because players pick each other off the turf all the time and what Miller did was the very definition of unsportsmanlike whether it was joking or not.

Come on, you know that call is BS and trying to legitimize it is futile.

Nope. You guys are sour because you are Broncos fan but that's the right call in a league that just gave Beckham 15 yards for pretending to be a dog peeing. This kind of stuff is all nonsense and your team is unravelling in the 2nd half of this game.

Are you kidding me? So by your logic, every player that doesn't attempt to help the opposing player up should be given a flag then. Meaning there should practically be a flag for every play then.

LOL stop being obtuse. You know fully well he extended his hand and pulled it back when Taylor reached out to grab it. If you look at my original post I was stunned Miller would do something like that in front of an official. Be mad at him not the official for doing his job. It's not his job to know maybe it's an inside joke between the players as he's thrown the flag for the act.

[Skaloper]

Even the announcers just agreed with it being a bad call.

[rubecube]

Giants got absolutely hosed on that PI call. Officiating has been atrocious in this game.

Ex-player is never going to like that but he's looking at it as players having fun. The official sees an act that defined unsportsmanlike.

[ResAlien]

You guys realize you’re arguing about a subjective call that went against Denver with a Raider fan, right?

[Erick Estrada]

Man did you see that call in the Giants game? Another bizarre stupid penalty. Never seen that one before either.

[rubecube]

And now a phantom facemask penalty against Jeffrey. These refs are brutal.

[Strange Brew]

Texans deserved a better fate there. Brady gets strip sacked on final drive but of course ball goes right to a Patriot. That team really knows how to win.

Why does the Detroit game end with 8 seconds left?

[devo22]

well the Steelers got the result they deserved today, despite Glennons best efforts to lose the game. Run defense was a complete joke.

[KelVarnsen]

Fly Eagles Fly!!!

[Senator Clay Davis]

Eagles win on a 61-yard FG.

[FLAME ENVY]

What a joke of a PI call on Adam Jones. Green Bay fans jeer and flag gets thrown...

It's a weird rule, because it turns in to a running clock after a replay when its an inbounds play, there is a 10 second run off and they had no time out

theoretically its to avoid giving the offense a free time out

the offense could have been 20+ yards out and would be able to snap the ball because of the review, when if it was just called down its game over

but in the Lions case they were at the goal line, so if it was called down, they had 8 seconds left could they have gotten another snap off in time? there's a decent chance yes

so I can see it both ways

my guess is the rule gets a discussion to be changed. if the play prior to the replay was less than say 10 yards, or maybe if its a goal to go situation, no run off. But basically just an unlucky situation
