On the Luke Kuechly Ejection

[Jeremy Igo]

I see a lot of things from the sidelines, and what Luke did to get ejected I have seen countless times. Rarely is it flagged much less penalized with an ejection. Contact from player to official happens all the time, and is rarely intentional. It is obvious to anyone watching the game that Kuechly in no way intended to harm an official.

 

Kuechly was cheap shotted while going for a fumble. Once he stood up, he confused a player grabbing him from behind with an official. The result was Kuechly brushing off the official, followed by a penalty and ejection.

 

 

 

Luke jogged off the field a bit confused as to why he was ejected in the first place.

 

 

 

Ron Rivera was fairly upset at the call and gave the officials more than a piece of his mind.

 

 

 

This was an awful call, plain and simple. While technically the call could have been made, it should not have been. It was not in the spirit in which the rule was written.

 

The official should be embarrassed. I am embarrassed for him.

Those refs sucked all game long

[Arroz con Panther]

NFL network already said he wouldn't be suspended, but could be fined. I don't even think this should be a possibility. Anyone watching that replay can clearly see that Luke didnt even hit the official.

[Darth Biscuit]

Stupid, stupid call. Ref should be fined.

I was just hoping that Ron would pull everyone off the field and yell fug you! to the refs!

 

 

 

 

then drop his mic as he walked away.

[DeeJay]

Get rid of that piece of poo official.

[Jesse]

Will this ref see his role downgraded for fugging up so hard? Doubt it.

[76west]

Yeah that was some BS

[jasonluckydog]

luke never touched him

 

[Jon Snow]

It was that kind of day all around for the entire team.

[hepcat]

If that warrants an ejection, the officials should be thrown out of the game for touching the players.

[Jase]

One of the worst calls in the history of the world

I don't even know why the official is grabbing him. But if you ever been grabbed when you don't want to be grabbed. You know what Luke was thinking in that moment. Nothing. You just react.

[Cary Kollins]

I agree yo
