Tripping

Maybe I'm tripping but I've seen a couple tripping calls get missed. I think Betts was tripped against the Giants on 3rd and goal) by the guy who blew up Kendall) and I think Sellers was tripped by the Lion he destroyed after that one catch down the middle. Half the distance and a 1st down woulda been awfully nice against the Giants.

... and OMG ... was that grand larceny by the Cowboys or what?

I was pulling for the bills, I really was. LoL I couldn't even watch the final seconds... That is tough for the bills, man, they finally got a big audience and got the pukes right where they wanted them.. (I can go on and on, but I think I'll stop)

That was definitely tripping on Sellers, I'm not sure about Betts, I already erased that game in my DVR, too painful to watch.

while it looked like tripping and might have been i dont think it was intentional.. the dude got run over and as he was in the process of rolling out underneath Sellers his legs got caught up with Sellers.. thats why I dont think there was a call.. the man got run over.. his body had nowhere to go

lmao, and this is a safety making a hit, or rather a safety getting hit

He totally tripped him. I watched the replay in slow-mo. He fell to the ground, HIS LEGS HIT THE GROUND, Then his legs came back up in a sissors motion while he was trying to grab him with his hands.

Now, maybe they didn't call it because the Ref only saw his hands trying to grab Caveman, but it was a trip.

Kennedy must still be hurting from that 'tackle'. He literally threw his body in front of the freight train!

It was definitely intentional. Their legs didn't become entwined until Kennedy wrapped his around Sellers'.

The only way I can see it not being called is because he had his hand out as well, trying to 'play it off.' I still think it's a shady play and I wish Sellers had the chance to run him over a few more times.

Regarding your siganture, Joe Gibbs is a bust, too. His just happens to be in the Hall Of Fame.

Go back to when Brian Dawkins got rolled and you'll see the same thing, I'm wondering if it's a "technique"...

Yeah, I think it is. It has been something Ive seen in the past and it doesn't get called. I think players have noticed ofthers doing it and it has cought on. I've seen it a lot this year.

Edit: Ok maybe not a lot. But, Ive seen it a few times and it never gets called.

I have never seen our safeties do it, LoL, maybe because they either miss or be the one left standing after the big hit.
