It has nothing to do with what the fans think. The league doesn't want teams planning celebrations because it will then become a 'can you top this' deal.

no fun after all.

What's the beef? He broke the rule, he was flagged. It's not like it was a secret.

He was flagged for falling over, not for spiking the ball. It wasn't like he was breakdancing or barrel rolling. He just fell over.

Off topic.. I'm watching the 49ers v Giants playoff game from 2002, and Julian Peterson dropped a wide open interception on third down. He went to the ground and did 5 push ups, do you think they would call that a personal foul in today's NFL? Just curious.

No, Mike Jenkins dropped a pick yesterday and did push ups afterwards.

I think its stupid to celebrate at all if you score when you are still behind

like Armstrong did..it was a great catch though

So this is off topic sort of but I remember when the Bengals were getting TO everyone was freaking out about how the TD celebrations were going to be epic, have they done anything good celebration wise because I can't remember any of them that they have done. Oh and this is one of my favs from the cfl

He should have a shit load as a punishment, because Kenny Britt was scorching his ass every play. :smug:

then his roly poly ass shouldn't have spiked the ball in celebration.

It was brutal to watch, truly brutal. I have NO IDEA what he was doing out there.

:facepalm:

He didn't fall from spiking the ball. He fell from a chest bump gone wrong. Even though I do agree his clumsy ass shouldn't be coming off the ground ever.

it was a group celebration and he went to the ground... no matter how it happened that is the rule. witten and columbo both are idiots and selfish cunts for even thinking of doing this in such a close game. it all goes back to the lack of disipline and leadership on a team with stack with talent.

ps: fuck dallas. i hope they go 1-15.

Jenkins was def not my favorite player at all yesterday. He along with the rest of the team should do a million push ups. 14 penalties coming off the bye week? Come the fuck on. How does that even happen?

Do you even have to ask?

God dammit you fuckers can't read (I guess this is what I should expect from a Steelers fan though)

They were not flagged for a GROUP celebration. Columbo was flagged for EXCESSIVE celebration for falling and touching the ground. If he didn't fall, it would not have been a penalty. The penalty had nothing to do with him spiking the ball or Witten chest bumping him.

 

[Primetime]

The two person celebration should be called and the falling down should be called according to NFL rules. Could have had two personal fouls.

LOL at a Packer fan coming in this thread.

and every Packer who jumps into the stands should be flagged for a penalty but that shit NEVER happens.

:gtfo:

Okay.

He was still correctly penalized.

I had no opinion in my post at all. Someone is a little butt hurt the Cowboys are healthy and 1-3 I guess. Simmer down a bit dude, my post had nothing to do with me being a Packer fan. In fact, I thought it was krulmichael making that post and it was about the Lions. So you can kindly GTFO with your menstrual moodiness.

Curious though, where does it state the Lambeau Leap is excessive? Possibly because they are using the fans as a prop or what?

Your post came off like you were trying to say the Cowboys should have been called for 2 penalties. My fault if you weren't but that was how I read it. I also already said this was not the reason we lost and it certainly isn't the reason we are 1-3.

How is the Lambeau Leap not excessive? The players are essentially leaving the field of play to jump into the fans. It is something I don't get. Dallas will be called for a penalty such as they were called for but if Greg Jennings jumps into the stands and is there for 10 seconds, nothing is called. The refs and the NFL either has to call everything or nothing. There can't be that gray area.

 

[Primetime]

They call everything in the rule book. The rules state a player can't fall to the ground and the rules also state more than one person can't be a part of the celebration. I don't like either rule, but it's the rules. I don't see where the Lambeau Leap falls into a rule violation. I can see where you are coming from, but it's just not a part of the rules from what I've seen. There is no gray area when it comes down to it.

My post wasn't meant to be cocky, I was just stating that it could have actually been two penalties. I complained in the Jared Allen thread about this new rule.
