I absolutely agree. If we're having to debate frame-by-frame where his fingers

are placed, can you imagine what a ref sees in real time? Even if 'technically' one of his fingers was under the helmet's edge for a frame (fractions of a second), the fact-is that in real time, it's pretty easy to see why a ref might not have thrown the flag.

It didn't look like he grabbed any opening in his helmet. It looked really bad,

It looked to me like he got his fingers under the back of the helmet

Because it wasn't a face mask. Hill tried to sell it but...

Look at all the pics here.

Doesn't matter. His fingers clearly wrapped around the helmet for a moment.

That's what I saw in the stadium and on the replay

Finger. Singular. There is no helmet where his other fingers are.

9/22/14 1:36pm

It doesn't matter if it's one finger for all of them. His finger and thumb are

His thumb isn't wrapped under the helmet. For that to be possible it'd have to

I heard the defensive guy was a Jedi at one time before turning to the dark side

The questions wasn't whether it was easy for a ref to see the penalty.

Most apropo board name ever.
