Kendricks for the 2 pt conversion!...but....

***ramsanddodgers*** · -12-03-2012

in his 'celebration' he throws the ball behind himself and almost hits a whiner player. The referee made it a point to discuss something with Kendricks.

I can't help but think he was warning Kendricks that his 'celebration' was close to being a taunting call?

I was worried for 1/2 a sec the Kendricks was a bit lackadaisical after the catch and with the whiner's defender closing fast he might stop Kendricks short of the goal line. Luckily it worked out.

Regardless, this was a great win by our Rams!

I saw it and didn't think much of it. Kaepernick threw the ball at the feet of the Rams backs after his 50 yard run, it was the same thing. Both would have been undeserved penalties.

Also, that Whiner was Patrick Willis. The fact that Kendricks got separation is incredible in and of itself.

Yep, totally. He was running laterally with the goal line and the guy could have very easily either knocked the ball out, or tackled him short of the goal line. He should have immediately push off towards his left and dove in to get into the end zone, but he casually strolled in standing up and it could have cost him.

Yes, I did notice that potential penalty situation, a reversal from the memorable Morgan (Redskins) vs Finnegan case a few weeks ago [LOL].

If Kendricks' attitude had been reason for a penalty it would have been charged on the ensuing kickoff (and we keep the 2-point coversion on the board) but still... Rams have enough penalties and some have cost them dearly. Players MUST keep this in mind!

Good observation.

Imagine the buzz THAT would've created today. Rams fans would be beside themselves. Given the Rams' recent hose jobs by the officials, it's a shock this one wasn't called.
