Thanks for clarifying Skinsguy and others, but my entire point was I don't think D.Hall's celebration was excessive or prolonged, so it shouldn't have been called.

But I do agree with Matty, all it comes down to is that it's a judgement call by the refs and all it takes is one ref that disagrees with the celebration to throw the flag.

I do think the rule needs to be rewritten. It was meant to curb celebrations like the ones Chad Johnson and Steve Smith pre-planned a few years ago, not to stop ones like D.Hall dropping to his knees and pointing his fingers to the sky in celebration. That penalty on Colombo was complete bs by the way. But the NFL tends to overdo things, and getting rid of celebrations is one of those things.
