@awfulannouncing Nope. Unsportsmanlike Conduct. Period. And if the whistle was blown, definitely that. This will be an interesting refereeing year for the Chiefs. Apparently, anything goes. That should have never happened. Send that Tart guy towards me and watch the open hand!
@jasrifootball why is everyone so hating on the Chiefs It's a game. Sure it's disappointing - but the press kept heat on the 3-peat provided a lot of disruption for TWO FULL WEEKS! I don't remember the press hating on Brady this bad when Eli beat him in the SB. Stop terrorizing the kids!
@NFLonCBS A good football game which this clearly is not. Plus the announcers are horrible. Eagles, when the play is whistled over, take your hands off the other team right then and there. But the refs aren’t doing the job in penalizing unnecessary roughing on them.
Todays DCA crash; what I know so far (as a pilot).
Facts:
1. American Airlines flight 5432 (LANDING FLIGHT), a CRJ700 operated by PSA airlines, was inbound to runway 33 on whats called "short final", the last stage of landing, about 400 feet in altitude.
2. An Army Blackhawk training flight PAT25 (HELICOPTER) was flying perpendicular to the flight path of 5432 along the Potomac river. The Potomac is a designated helicopter flight path / flight corridor.
3. PAT25 was flying on Visual Flight Rules (VFR); flight 4532 on Instrument Flight Rules (IFR). This means that flight 5432 had priority and the helicopter should have been constantly looking out visually for other aircraft.
4. Moments before the crash, the DCA tower called to PAT25 and asked them to confirm they had the "[other] aircraft in sight".
5. PAT25 replied that they had the aircraft in sight.
Opinion:
PAT25 actually had another aircraft, the DEPARTING FLIGHT, in sight, and did not realize 5342 was descending directly into its flight path.
