Separate, but likely related in regard to the building frustration, the players kicked out probably deserved what they got. But it is still unusual to see NFL officials send players off the field, due to dissent!

Two things,
1) I think the ravens deserved 21 penalties, I watched parts of the game and they were acting out of control several times.
2) The explanation Mike Carrey gave was that the ball came loose before the player threw the ball. I did not see it that way, I thought for sure they'd overrule it. I will be interested to hear what Mike Periera has to say about this, I'm sure he will speak about it.
