Larry Fitzgerald push-offs

Thinking our guys need to practice "acting" moves against Fitz then! Exaggerated falls the other direction when he pushes off. Use his cr*p against him!

They call it flopping! LOL The problem is it has to be called and Fitz will always get the breaks. Ratings baby, Ratings!

Please no acting in football. That what soccer is for.

I kind of know what you mean, but really hope we don't resort to trying to get an Oscar. Coming from England, I see so much acting and diving in soccer it has turned me off the game. Remember when we played the Giants and they had a pass interference call aginst them when Colston was brought down? It was a bad call as contact was incidental and minimal. Even Colston, when he saw the replay on the big screen, shook his head at it. By the way, I'm also not liking the flag throwing dramatics of some of the players now. I know it is frustrating but it seems more and more players are resorting to this. Regardless of whether it influences the official's decision, which I don't believe it does the majority of the time, it just seems petulant.

Might be wrong but is it not a penalty if the DB impeeds the WR's route after 5 yards?

Welcome to the forum DieHard... wasn't there a penalty called on AZ after one of the WRs ran over a DB? I can't remember if it was that game or the Bal/NE game. But the DB was just standing there and the WR ran him over while the ball was in the air. It was called offensive pass interference.

Yes it would be if the ball was in the air and the DB was going for the ball.

And thanks for the welcome! Looking forward to the week and the game. Flying into town Friday night for the game.

I do not recall a Off Pass Interference call in the Cards/Green Bay game. But to be honest it could have happened. I took my 6 year old son to his first playoff game and we unfortunately had to get up several times. Such as I missed the Green Bay onside kick.
