Can someone please explain the challenge?
 

I get it was a tipped ball and that negated the penalty but my understanding was that you couldn’t challenge penalties and they couldn’t be overturned.

I mean I’ll take it after the raping they put on us, but what the hell happened?

Side note: who else likes Angry Andy? I laughed my ass off when he told Goff to get bent. ROFL

Didn't challenge the penalty itself. They challenged that the ball was tipped prior to the penalty. Since it was tipped, there cannot be PI/Holding.

He didn't challenge the penalty. He changed that the pass was tipped which you can do apparently.

Yeah, I wondered about that. I didn't know you could file a challenge that would result in picking up a flag. But maybe that's because the penalty is not a judgment call in this case. If the ball is tipped, it's clearly not a penalty unless you're Jeff Triplette just making up rules as you go along.

Same. I liked that it happened, but I had no idea you could challenge a penalty. And YES, I liked to died when Andy gave that douche the business!

I don’t know. It’s just weird as shit. What you’re saying makes sense, but I thought they couldn’t overturn penalties.

It should have never come to that. Everybody on the planet knew it was tipped and it was a hogshit call. But damn. I wish we could get blind ass penalties turned over more often.

I want to see more of 'Angry Andy'

Yeah, but essentially you’re still challenging the penalty. Because, had there been no penalty, it wouldn’t have made a difference whether the ball was tipped or not.

I would like to see that side of him every week. Him always remaining silent drives me nuts.

If it isn't a Personal Foul/Unsportsmanlike penalty, it can be nullified, I believe. Then again, this is the NFL, so who the hell really knows?

He wasn't challenging the penalty itself. He was challenging the play. Since it was tipped, there could be no PI/Holding because it's a free-for-all.

So could we have challenged the punt return where our guy touched the Ram in the back as he was diving? I don't think so.

I feel like it's got something to do with not being a judgment call. Most penalties are judgment calls, but this penalty had a very clear requirement (non-tipped ball) that was very clearly not met.

Unfortunately, you can't challenge the penalty itself (the block in the back, which was very weak call). I would be in favor of challenging penalties, but I also understand the risks of that, as it would extend the game much longer. And I don't see the NFL wants to even go there anyways.

Like baseball, there is a need an electronic strike zone (in my opinion) because like the strike zone, penalties in the NFL is very subjective. There were a lot of offensive line holding calls that would have met the criteria (for both teams), that did not get called.

ROFLCan someone post a GIF of Andy shutting Goff's pie hole??

Angry Andy is the best.
