Good question, I never saw a replay of it!the choreographed celebration in the end zone was that got flagged after JJ's pick six?
I mean I see guys doing stuff every week that is obviously pre-planned, all kinds of crazy ass dances, guys jumping in the stands.
WTF could they have possibly done to get a penalty???????????
Another, of many, momentum calls that seem to, mostly, go against us.the choreographed celebration in the end zone was that got flagged after JJ's pick six?

I saw TY Hilton cradle the football like a baby, I know he and his wife just had a baby, congratulations. But that fits the description and there was no flag.I realize this is Goodell's No Fun League but all some of us ask for is consistency in the penalties the refs call and that they would show no favoritism. This explanation from Wiki......
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touchdown_celebration
Taunting and celebration are both offenses in the NFL; as a result, gaudy displays are often frowned upon. If the league views the act as highly offensive, large fines and even suspensions can be issued.
In 2006 the NFL, in an effort to cut down on celebrations, amended its rules to include an automatic 15 yard penalty against any player who leaves his feet or uses a prop, like a towel, or more specifically the football. The penalty is called as "excessive celebration", and the yardage is charged against the offending player's team when that team kicks off to the opposing team.
Simply spiking the ball is not interpreted as excessive celebration unless the ball is spiked towards another player on the opposing team. Jumping onto the outer wall to accept contact from fans, such as the Lambeau Leap, is also not considered such, as it is off the field of play.
I would like to know as well. Poorly officiated game. I hate self important refs.

I'm with you give me consistency.
I noticed back in the day that it was only after the Bob N' Weave became a thing that the No Fun League suddenly decided that group celebrations were such a horrible thing.Bring back to bob and weave. All these weak pass interference and hard hit calls are bad enough, at least allow players to have fun celebrations. I understand the goal post dunking one being eliminated due delays if damaged, but let's have some fun. The NFL is starting to suck.
I've seen group celebrations since. The TO sharpie and the Joe Horn cell phone was good entertainment.I noticed back in the day that it was only after the Bob N' Weave became a thing that the No Fun League suddenly decided that group celebrations were such a horrible thing.
And it was far from the first group celebration out there.
Yep! The Falcons started that sort of group celebration!I noticed back in the day that it was only after the Bob N' Weave became a thing that the No Fun League suddenly decided that group celebrations were such a horrible thing.

It was not on the Bailey TD it was on the pick six by JJThe other Rams players fanned Bailey after the TD because he was "on fire" or "hot"....that's where the penalty came from.
Also, this group celebration rule was formed because Dennis Green made a big deal of it after the Rams did the Bob-n-Weave over and over again in the NFC Divisional game.
My mistake...either way, that is the celebration that was flagged...they were fanning Jenkins, not Bailey.It was not on the Bailey TD it was on the pick six by JJ
