This is an argument I'm having in another thread. Supposedly this hit should have been flagged because Mahomes was heading out of bounds even though he asnt officially out of bounds yet. IMO, there's no way this should be flagged. A player in bounds is a player in bounds and can get hit. As much as I'd love for Mahomes to be protected, objectively there's no way they should call a penalty here.
Also it's weird how people hate the refs but want to add even more subjectivity to how they rule. So now they have to guess if a player is clearly going out of bounds on not? Makes no sense to me but hey...I'm CPs chief contrarian so I may be way off... [Reply]
I thought it should have been called based on the shove, but I suppose it technically started in bounds.
At the time I was actually more worried about him standing up right in front of that big fucking heater. My smaller versions will melt skin in that range and that thing looks to be much bigger. [Reply]
I really hate that the main defense of this being a penalty seems to be "If this had happened to Tom Brady..."
That's not a legitimate basis of what should or shouldn't be a penalty. It's a backwards way of admitting that it shouldn't be a penalty but based on the hypothetical you've made up in your mind, it is.
We all know if that play happened with Tom Brady and they threw a flag we'd all be screaming bullshit and posting gifs of how he was in bounds when he was hit. And rightfully so. It would be a bullshit penalty no matter who was at QB. [Reply]

The one they took away with the lb landing on Mahomes, ok, you can talk me into that one. Those kind they don't get consistent ever. But this they almost always call.
This is the answer. They always call that shit. Hell a lot of WRs get that call if they're obviously going OOB. [Reply]

It's not. Everybody gets that call. If he were headed upfield, no. But he was obviously going OOB. They call that. [Reply]

It's not just Brady. That gets called probably 80% of the time on any QB. [Reply]
I don't think that should be a penalty. But they would call that 90% of the time and 100% of the time on Tom Brady. It's the inconsistent officiating that bothers me. [Reply]

Lamar doesn't willingly go out of bounds like that.
Plus his vision is better. If he's going to get lit up he does go out. [Reply]
