Okay, those three plays from the Super Bowl....

You cannot just push the defender out of the way then get wide open. Remember the defense cannot contact a receiver before the ball is thrown either for similar reason. The penalty is not DPI before the ball is thrown (NFL does have a 5 yard window).

And the replay also shows the defender grabbing Jackson right at the goal line, causing him to break stride...so I ask again, if the BJ doesn't call that illegal contact, why does he throw the flag on Jackson's push? If you're gonna "let them play", then let them play...
