0 Bobref Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) No doubt he flopped. But it’s still a good call. There’s a sort of sliding scale of roughness vs. timing in calling the foul. The more time passes after the ball is gone, the less rough the contact needs to be to call roughing. Conversely, much rougher conduct can pass muster if it’s very shortly after the passer releases the ball. This was waaaayyy too late. It wasn’t inadvertent. It was a gratuitous shove. But I doubt Josh Allen has spent any money on tacting lessons. Edited January 17, 2021 by Bobref Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to derail anything, but to piggy back on flopping. I had a JV hoops game the other night. Both teams tried to take charges, early in the game. Neither myself or my partner called it. At the next dead ball, we told both teams, do not flop, you will not get the call and you risk injury. BAM, not one more flop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I doubt Josh Allen has spent any money on tacting lessons. Heard too many times from the rules experts (i think that is what they are called on tv) that the 2nd foot coming down by the hitter is a telling point. That is the 1st thing I looked for w bob's clip. 2nd foot came down. Had a chance to pull off and didn't. Allen looked like a clown flopping. Think the flopping only gets "better" the bigger the person is. Like when an OL or DL flops from getting farted or breathed on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
