I agree that pass interference isn’t called consistently. One thing that was different from the Kyle Rudolph thing was Kittle essentially did a double push. Only reason I see it being called differently.
Midlife So whats the point of having the t Rules in place if its gonna happen everyplay? The issue is the refs are selective with those calls and are not consistent. Makes it easier to manipulate the outcome of a play.
@@dngt90X , that is not a hold and I will tell you why. Bosa slanted inside on a stunt and thus had his momentum going to the left. While he initially beat Fisher Fisher ended up driving him to Bosa's left which is where Bosa wanted to go. Yes, Fisher had him hooked with his arm, but that would have only prevented him from doing some amazing athletic move, and trying to rip past Fisher going to Bosa's right. That was not the case. Thus, no hold.
It was the right call, but in the overview Niners got screwed by not calling the clear hold on Nick Bosa and the DPI on the defender when Kelce fell down in the end zone (the defender never initiated any contact with Kelce!); both plays occurred on 3rd downs (Chiefs would’ve kicked a FG, thus 20-13 instead of 20-17). Chiefs ‘pundits’ have their foots in their mouths when they say on this play “oh yeah, clear OPI”, as if the refs were being righteously professional! Sure - Mahomes to Kelce on the identical situation, how do they react on that?. It was Kittle’s fault. ‘Let them play’ in the SB? Only at selective moments, I guess.
where do u see twice? and you cant even tell if it was a push off.....the is a time where it looks like he could have just playing hand guarding just like the cover guy was earlier in the route. they both were they both using hands, i agree kittles arm was extended but corner push his hand outside when the ball was in the air. also according the rule book the def player has to be in a position, there needs to be a significant advantage gained, if there is hand play before the ball is being played and doesnt turn at any point than there is no understanding when the ball is being played for.......kittle turns around for the ball and was using hands to get sense of players body position, it is not illegal to extend your arm if body separation exists. that ":push off" was not significant enough to make it or do we know if it was was push considering what looks like caused seperation was the tune the corner took note where the ball was meaning his speed will slow to make it end up looiking like of visualizing appear....kittle maintains speed and at the exact time that it happened the corner looked up which caused the slow IT IS NOT ILLEGAL TO HAVE AN extended arm unless its across ht other players body or to make the gain from it is minimal. in the rule book it specifically states uses significant. if one player is playing the ball and the other isnt will pretty much makes it solely based on the official. so based on all this and adding it was the super bowl which is so strict on calls it doesnt not meet all the above.
I agree and im a cheifs fan! Thanks for not bashing us! I see your just talking about the nfl rules! And i agree they change up things so much and dont really care about them when they matter!
A couple of differences. One, 49 for the Chiefs was chasing and turned to locate the ball. In the Rudolph play you are near the end zone, more contact is allowed. Also, the Saints defender was not turning to locate the ball. When you watch 49 of the Chiefs he is running with Kittle and then leans backwards because of the push. The Saints defender is more or less hand fighting where a final push happened. Also, the angle matters. Kittle was the FJ's key, but the BJ threw on it. Why? He had the inside out look. In the Viking's play the Saints defender is blocking off the BJ. The receiver was the FJ's key, but there he is blocked out by Rudolph. Maybe the LJ can see it but his key is the RB and he most likely turned to it late. Overall, yes, we want consistency and PI could have been called on Rudolph, but there are limitations.
@@PowerRangers12345 , it is a mechanic. As a high school and college official of around 15 years, and have gone to many camps, there are things done mechanically that are not in the rule book. For example, in college, if you have blocking down field on a legal forward pass play beyond the neutral zone you have offensive pass interference. However, if the QB is legally grounding the ball, you don't have OPI. It isn't listed in the rule but the intent of legally grounding the ball is to protect the passer. Thus we don't have OPI. Now with this situation near the goal line, the game becomes physical. .You have a situation like this, man coverage, no double team, one on one, you let them play. You let them get physical and the best win. There is a level where you do throw a flag, but it is much higher. You let them play. That is the mechanic. Now take this play. The defender was not aggressive at all. He did not turn to play the ball, and while facing the receiver was pushed when he should have saw it coming because he was not playing the ball. At that point he should have done one of two things during that play 1. Anticipate the pass and turn to locate the pass. He had the receiver shoved in a corner. 2. Be more aggressive from the beginning. He was neither. Thus no PI was called.
49ers were up 2 possessions with the ball with like 11 minutes left. In that scenario the 49ers had a 97% chance to win the game. This play was 50/50 and would have probably only led to a FG.
Dennis Janda actually, they can. They just can’t tug, wrap or tackle. You also cannot impede on a receiver or LB/DB’s ability to catch the ball while it’s still in the air. Light hand checking that is mutual is okay. Before you move the goal posts again, where does it say in the rules that a defense player has to be playing the ball to be a victim of opi?
this is a terrible call on Kittle, or we need 50 PI calls a game per team. rule is terribly written. if it was called accurately to the rule every game would be 140-135
I agree this doesn’t get called enough, but I’ll be honest: being a KC fan for 35 years, we have lost count of plays/calls/penalties/games just like this where we, the whole city, felt just as screwed as the 49er’s do about this single one. 50 years of waiting, getting screwed, and just outright choking/losing... I encourage all to watch the whole game again. There were plenty of penalties called on KC that put us in these 3rd & long positions. Also, there were some I feel weren’t called that should have Been against SF... There’s no conspiracy here (as other videos are claiming). There’s just a great game and our city has hero’s for the first time in 50 years. Love to you all. Go CHIEFS!!!
Jerry Rice is DEAD WRONG , plain and simple , Kittle should NOT have put his hand flat on the chest of said defender , who he had beat. THEN it would not have gone against him. PERIOD Mahomes owned the niners in the last 8 minutes . Just wipe the tears and live to fight another day. Been there , done that. But you know the curse of the losing Super Bowl team , not to have such a great season , the following year. It's a new era now that father time has handed Brady his card 👍
I don't know what you saying but George Kittles did not put his hand on the defender chest to push himself off of the defender to catch the ball The defender actually grabbed kettles by the arm to not allow him to swing his arm off of him to catch the ball
@@PowerRangers12345 It's different guys calling different games and this stuff is all happening in real time. There is no way that there aren't going to be blown calls especially when exposed to slow motion replay. If there was no slow motion replay (like a high school game) then nobody would be able to criticize.
@@PowerRangers12345 There are. Guys just fuck up. In their defense, think how hard it would be to watch it in real time and then have 20 million people critique what you saw in super slow motion.
Come on everything in the nfl ain’t called consistently shoot when it’s not a time game and the ball is short inches or even a whole foot they give the first down come down to the last ducking ten second and the ball is short inches then they wanna go mark that shit come on. It’s the officials ain’t the players they call what they think is right a lot of play don’t go to review that should and I think they should review more since they wanna review some dumb shit
@@PowerRangers12345 if the CB is initiating, grabbing, and preventing the receiver from being able to catch the ball then it should have been a defensive pass interference. Otherwise it's a no call.
@@PowerRangers12345 you can't have it both ways. If the CB doesn't initiate contact there would be no need to slightly push back. Even if you want to call it mutual, it's so petty. If you want to call an offensive PI then look at the Rudolf play.
@@allenassil Both are offensive pass interference. The offensive player pushes the defensive player to give him a better chance to catch the ball. That is the rule. I don't know why we are arguing this, it is literally in the rules.
A pushoff is when it slows down the defender but this play is just n Jostling position of arms and creating space .but never did it slow the defemder down...49ers got ripped off a few times in this game like rhe winning td he stepped out of bounds and the pass interference call got tjem in range thr chiefs didnt earn those plays they were gifted them.....i mean why call pass interference for fighting for the ball ?? The nfl wamts tds
