QB Flopping

[Colts And Orioles]

o


Last year, I started a thread in the NFL section in regard to unnecessary roughness calls.

This time, I am going to take the liberty of putting a similarly themed thread in the Indianapolis Colts section ...... the play in question that I am citing did not involve the Colts, but considering the fact that the Colts play against all of the other teams in the NFL (including the Chiefs) and that the subject does indeed affect them on the whole, I believe that it is appropriate to place the new thread in this section.

Patrick Mahomes’ Shameless Flop on Non-Late Hit Is Sign NFL Needs to Institute a Flopping Penalty

(By Robert Zeglinski)

A chronology of the play in question ......



A) l Mahomes was running towards the sidelines to go out of bounds.


B) l Mahomes came to a complete stop JUST BEFORE going out of bounds ...... knowing that a Texans defender would push him in the back (which is legal, because Mahomes was still in bounds.)


C) l The Texans defender pushed Mahomes in the back, not particularly hard (although he was in his rights to push him as hard as he wanted to, because Mahomes was still in bounds and there was nothing stopping him from turning up-field to try to get more yardage.)


D) l After getting a not-so-hard shove in the back, Mahomes jumped forward as though he were just hit by a Cadillac automobile.


E) l With the Kansas City crowd screaming for a penalty, the referees correctly swallowed their whistles and did not penalize the Texans defender.
