Saw the play...kudos to him for not throwing his flag...but more often than not (as we saw yesterday), that gets called, which is bullshit.

I don't understand why the NFL doesn't just have a buzzer/horn that sounds when the play clock expires, much like a shot-clock in NBA. It would make a delay of game obvious then. That way it could be a challengable play also.

That's absolutely not true. He did not even attempt to pull up. He was pursuing and then jumped on Rodgers after he was down and after Shea had plenty of time to not jump on him. That was a good call. It's crazy to suggest otherwise.

You must have seen a different play. The announcers agreed it was ticky tacky and not really a penalty

He did not jump on. He was pursuing. By the time Rodgers went down he was like a yard away running at full speed. He did all he could.

You're crazy to suggest Im crazy.

You're better at the internet than me. Find the play/gif and post it and it will be clear that I am right. The fact that Joe Buck and/or Aikman agrees with you makes me feel that much more reassured.

Yeah, Buck and Aikman were wrong and youre right

Here is the link to the gifs.

Both clearly show Shea putting his hands out as if to stop himself. You are wrong, unless you believe McClellin was playing two hand touch

CLEARLY pulling up in both gifs.

Bottom gif shows the best angle. If you don't think he could have avoided Rodgers I don't really know what else to say. It's very clear that he could have.

Both gifs show he was trying to pull up and fell on Rodgers. There was no hit.

Pretty much everyone agrees on this but you. Ticky Tack call at best.

Clearly he was targeting Rodgers...I mean, everyone knows if you want to take out the opposing QB, you do it by rolling over his hip...

I thought you couldn't advance a fumble that went forward

Fumble

The distinction between a fumble and a muff should be kept in mind in considering rules about fumbles. A fumble is the loss of player possession of the ball. A muff is the touching of a loose ball by a player in an unsuccessful attempt to obtain possession.
A fumble may be advanced by any player on either team regardless of whether recovered before or after ball hits the ground.
A fumble that goes forward and out of bounds will return to the fumbling team at the spot of the fumble unless the ball goes out of bounds in the opponent’s end zone. In this case, it is a touchback.
On a play from scrimmage, if an offensive player fumbles anywhere on the field during fourth down, only the fumbling player is permitted to recover and/or advance the ball. If any player fumbles after the two-minute warning in a half, only the fumbling player is permitted to recover and/or advance the ball. If recovered by any other offensive player, the ball is dead at the spot of the fumble unless it is recovered behind the spot of the fumble. In that case, the ball is dead at the spot of recovery. Any defensive player may recover and/or advance any fumble at any time.
A muffed hand-to-hand snap from center is treated as a fumble.

Only in the last 2 minutes of half/game/OT.

Cutler and McCown also have benefited from bullshit 'roughing' calls this season too. Doesn't change the fact that they are bullshit calls.

That's not the case there Frank with me, I said it was a cheap call with the folks I was watching the game with. There were a lot of bad calls both ways in the game and that is the case more often than not.
