Off the Bench TD Celebration Question

[voluntarysaftey]

Decker ran off the bench without helmet to jump into the TD celebration.
The announcer said if he had been on the field, it would've been flagged as a group celebration; but because he was on the sidelines during the play, it doesn't get flagged.

This makes no sense to me.

Does this mean that a team can have all its backups (or whoever isn't in that play), run to the endzone after a TD, and do a choreographed dance for 2 minutes, and not get penalized?

I thought the same thing. If that actually is the rule it makes no sense...

If you ask the Donkey fans, they say all of the calls went the Ravens way. http://www.orangemane.com/BB/showthread.php?t=109760

Its a loophole in the rules, expect it to be closed next year

So, if I'm reading between the lines correctly, I assume you're not a huge fan of NFL fans from the city of Denver?

I read 3-4 threads and they're blaming everyone but the forehead even after he admitted to calling an audible on 3rd and 7, they remind me of Jets fans.:bricks:

[Chopblock CB]

Was almost a bizarre as the FG kicker coming out on the field and kicking one before his Game winning kick...and all the Refs just standing there saying nothing...ya know?

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

I don't know how that's not a penalty, other than the referee being a complete moron and/or afraid of not pleasing Manning.
