I must have missed 'blow the guy up' in the rule book.

And apparently, we've missed the exception in the rule that says if a player would, "kind of throw his back into it" when making the block it will be legal and keep him from getting a penalty.

Of course if his guy got blocked like that and it wasn’t called……………..

Yes, I like to call that the "Law of inverse color and call." It is employed by coaches and fanboys alike.

You can have the exact same play occur, but with the teams flipped and the call either made or not made, whichever is the opposite of what occurred in the original and you will get the complete opposite reaction from the coaches and fanboys.

Like you say, had that been a Carolina player on the receiving end of the block and it were not called, Beamer would be complaining about how his players weren't being protected.

Yeah, coach, like throwing a flag on it AFTER it happens is gonna miraculously make it not happen? Idiots.
