Kindred Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Right after that one touchdown by Santana, Lloyd hugs him and lifts him up in the air and we get flagged for excessive celebration?? wtf is that? That has got to be the dumbest, lamest calling of that penalty I have ever seen. All SM does is hold his hands up in the air, all BL does is hug him and lift him. How the f*k is that excessive? I'm sorry but that really p'd me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifty Gut Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 that's what I thought it was too, but at the same time, Portis was striking a pose to left of Moss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swaroopm Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I really think you should be allowed to celebrate to a reasonable extent when it is spontaneous and fun and you don't do it in the face of the other team. I can understand why the league does not want people throwing the ball in an opponent's face or going through all the choreographed stuff, but come on, players have feelings and they should have fun playing, in part because it makes it more fun for fans. The league needs to back off, and I don't just say this with regard to Redskins' celebrations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kindred Posted October 3, 2006 Author Share Posted October 3, 2006 oh comon. Does that seriously qualify? That was the least excessive 'excessive celebration' I have ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CM916 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I really don't understand the one man celebration rule. Scoring is always a team effort, everyone should be allowed their share of the glory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC3 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Hmmm I didn't see Portis posing next to Moss during the game. The refs did have to talk about it and decided that it was choreographed even though it's borderline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsciambi Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 It also took them a good minute or two after the TD to call it, if that makes a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peckerwood Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 well they're not gonna call it *before* he scores Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskinsfan85 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 damn that's an awesome pic looked like ti was choreogrpahed so yeah maybe it was deserved. I was at the game and I didn't see that but then again when you're celebrating like crazy you miss their celebration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor ToughLove Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Yeah, I thought that was a petty call. But at least the refs called it on Jacksonville too with the turnover (was it the Lloyd fumble?). Those jokers didn't even score and they were dancing in the end zone when they were called, they were also still behind & losing - that was a good excessive celebration call.

For an interception? comon. Even if that was a touchdown I still would have put that as excessive. Santana didnt do anything. Lloyed hugged and lifted him and Portis struck a pose....

jnhay Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 that's what I thought it was too, but at the same time, Portis was striking a pose to left of Moss I never even noticed that. As long as they score, I'm not too dissapointed with the excessive celebration, thats a dumb rule anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snagletooth Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 It was spontanious. I was under the impression that that sort of celebration would not be penalized. The league had to lock down. Thanks to showboaters, who have always claimed that they do it for the fans. Thats nonsense. Guys like Dieon, then T.O. Chad Johnson and Steve Smith, and wanna be's like Joe Horn. Have ruined it for the rest of the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
More Complete Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Guys like Dieon, then T.O. Chad Johnson and Steve Smith, and wanna be's like Joe Horn. Have ruined it for the rest of the league. I agree 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek1973 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 The NFL needs to review this BS. I mean they also need to realize without the fans (that love seeing this type of emotion) they have not market, game, league. Now like it was mentioned if they throw balls on the opposing team and the Chad Johnson/TO crap then maybe they have a point (all though again fans love it so what). But that one yesterday which caused a a TD trully sucked. My question to you guys is this. Since we won the game on OT and Moss and the rest of the team went wild in the endzone etc etc we get an automatic 15 yarder in NY? hahahahahaha. I wouldn't put it past the league the way they hate us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't put it past the league the way they hate us. Well one thing I noticed on the last play of OT- there WAS a flag on the field. I never heard an explanation of what it was about. It never came up as they were reviewing the play. Could it have been an excessive celebration flag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedskinInExile Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 but when the dude of jacksonvile did that it wasnt called .. Yeah, that was some bull**** on a stick. I was yelling at my tv when the one Jax guy lifted the other in the endzone. If you're gonna call one, you gotta call both. Actually, I'd rather them call neither. Its a game. Let them play it with a little emotion. I think its classy when someone scores and acts like its nothing, but to make it a rule is a little absurd.

I think its classy when someone scores and acts like its nothing, but to make it a rule is a little absurd. I thought the same thing initially. But I hadn't seen Portis. If Portis was posing too, then that's the penalty. Like it or not, it's in the rules and was a stupid move on Portis' part. Those 15 yards hurt.

Monkskin81 Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 They called it on Jacksonville after our fumble but they did not call it on Jacksonville when Leftwich picked up Reggie Williams after their touchdown and ran with him over his shoulder... but it's over and we won the game...let's think about the giants game now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
