Man some QBs gets call that other QBs don't. The Rams have been called twice for personal foul penalties tacking Josh Allen and neither of them should have been called according to the former ref on the TV broadcast.
He grabbed the back of the neck area of the jersey. Textbook. I don't know about this last PI, though.
I didn't see it but by definition your explanation fits:
ARTICLE 16.HORSE-COLLAR TACKLE
No player shall grab the inside collar of the back or the side of the shoulder pads or jersey,or grab the jersey at the name plate or above,and pull the runner toward the ground. This does not apply to a runner who is in the tackle box or to a quarterback who is in the pocket.
Was not the best week to be playing against Allen in fantasy football ( Looks in the mirror )
Why didn't you do a better job of coaching up your defense to stop him? 😉
Should have tried kicking the trash can!
I really like jokes about coaching your fantasy team like it’s a real team. I co-manage a fantasy baseball team and when we have a bad week, we will take turns on who gets to yell at the players or if we need to sweet talk them to build up their confidence.
The former ref on the TV broadcast said it wasn't a horse collar tackle because the knees of the player being tackled didn't buckle (aka he didn't pull him backwards).
The TV announcer said this first and then the former ref repeated it so this language is obviously something that is a factor unless they are just making up shit.

This reminds me of the time my dynasty fantasy football team blew out my rival in the semi finals and then completely laid an egg in the championship game. I remember joking with my rival that apparently my team had a let down after such a big win in a rivalry game.
My rival a few years later drafted four straight WRs in our rookie draft so I was teasing him that his veteran WRs are posting on Twitter (what it was called at the time) that they are feeling disrespected about how eager you are to replace them and that his WR practices are going to fierce with the veterans not liking all these rookies being brought in to take their jobs. He responded laughing saying the vets better bring their A games.
I still don’t think that should be a horsecollar, but reading the definition you can see how it can be considered one. I don’t think the intention of the rule was to make that a penalty. Hardly a textbook example of what they’re trying to get rid of. Allen whining for the flag before he hit the ground was a nice touch, though. 😀

True stories.
We have had our Fantasy League since 1991 and I am the commish. So, I have a record of every year. The highest single game for our scoring system for a QB is Drew Brees in 2015 when he threw 7 Td's and had 505 yards. I had him and he was on my bench....BTW, Eli Manning had 6 td's that game as the Saints beat the Giants 52-49. Allen is 2nd now in points by a QB in a single game. Single game high points by any player is Kamara with 6 rushing TD's ( Christmas Day vs Vikings in 2020 )
I'm 50% factual and 50% sarcastic. When you get to know me, you will know which is which.
Knees didn't buckle, give me a break. ANY player that gets grabbed by the neck area...horsecollar. Period.
probably shouldn't make definitive statements if you don't know the rule.
ARTICLE 16.HORSE-COLLAR TACKLE
No player shall grab the inside collar of the back or the side of the shoulder pads or jersey,or grab the jersey at the name plate or above,and pull the runner toward the ground. This does not apply to a runner who is in the tackle box or to a quarterback who is in the pocket.
Note: It is not necessary for a player to pull the runner completely to the ground in order for the act to be illegal. If his knees are buckled by the action, it is a foul, even if the runner is not pulled completely to the ground.
YE organizes a family FF for us on ESPN. I happen to have Josh so you can see what he did for me.

That's what I said. It was a horse collar.

By the clear wording of the rule, that was a horse-collar tackle. Grabbed the jersey and/or pads above the nameplate to effect the tackle.
What part of that rule are you seeing on that play? Doesn't actually grab anything with his right hand. Doesn't pull Allen towards the ground with his right hand. Allen doesn't even fall backwards. He falls forward while spinning to his right. Not sure thats possible if he was being pulled backwards/down on his right shoulder.
This video at about 8 seconds makes it really obvious-
Ok now seeing the reply especially from behind that's not a horse collar.
Huh. Horse collar in the LA-SF game, and he wasn't even tackled.
In the BUF game you could see in the angle from behind he didn't get hold of the jersey. A few fingers made contact was about it. I don't have a dog in that hunt.
Maybe a guy having his leg torn apart is the ultimate freeze for the kicker?
Can't freeze this guy!

The D is subpar, but I still have to Bill-ieve.
