Lions homer here. So im curious of others thoughts

I thought these were bad calls when they happened.

Could kinda see how they were made at full speed and with all the congestion in there.

For those that saw them, were they penaties or did I have the glasses on?

For those that did not i can describe them as this

1 peterman cuts jet

2 jet loses balance and hands end up on raiola looking like he was "engaged"

3 penalty on peterman

4 peterman loses ten grand

Shocked that after review they were fined when they didnt even look like they deserved flags.

Not sure which one that was, but the second chop block looked like a penalty to me when I saw the replay in the bar.

On the one where Ellis got really upset about he was clearly engaged when Peterman went low on him, but the announcer, the play by play guy, I forget which one it was now, said he wasn't engaged, even on the replay, I thought it was obvious. I think the other chop block call was more questionable.

I have it DVR'd, I'll have to take another look. The NFL does go over the films, and chop block fines don't happen very often compared to other "violations".
