    I’d like to see an EJECTION if a pass receiver, upon missing a catch, raises his hand in the drop a flag gesture. This is learned behavior from watching the guys on Sunday. I doubt many (any) will agree, but it really pisses me off to see it.

    The only thing I was upset about is they called Chase for the foul when it was actually Marshall.

    The fact is you are not allowed by the rules to do it. That's the bottom line and you don't want to put the ref into having any reason to throw it. There is no problem with congratulating ypour teammates but planned celebtrations get flagged.

    I don't agree with it but just look at the NFL now. You have defenses as a group running to the end zone to pose for a picture. Give me a break.

    If they want to do the dance together do it on the sideline.

    Their are still cameras looking there.

    Until college changes the rules don't cost your team a penalty just do it on sideline.

    That's my 2 cents

    We have become a "look at me" society. It happened a long long time ago but no one noticed until now.

    It's sad, its tragic, but there isn't a damn thing we can do about it. Respect is now a rare virtue

    True! I notice that our receivers are NOT wearing business suits; they are in football uniforms 'cause they're playing football.

    With the object of the game being to score TDs.

    The refs need to lighten up!

    Why flag it last night? They’ve been doing it all season.

    The rule needs to be enforced with more common sense. If a bunch of players go into an obvious preplanned and choreographed demonstration throw the flag. Flagging the short spontaneous dance by the three amigos was over the line by the fun police.

    I'm still pissed about Brad Wing's cancelled touchdown for spreading his wings during the TD run.

    I'm not going to read that unless you take a selfie and tweet it.
