Rules for taking helmet off

Whats the ruleing for taking your helmet off during the game.
I know you cannot to celebrate (remembering the Rudd play against the chiefs a few years ago), but can you ever take it off?
My question is because on the holding penatly on Franks, Farve took his helmet off in frustration.
Were we had or not?

I wondered about that too, but cant really say we would have earned this victory, dont get me wrong, would have taken it, but how mad can you get, ill be back ready to support them next sunday, hope to finish out on a positive note.

That has always been a penalty before, the only way it's not is when you rip it off if you get hurt

Don't know.

Doesn't really matter.

Removing Helmets on the Field During Play -- no player may remove his helmet while on the playing field. Doing so will result in a 15-yard Unsportsmanlike Conduct penalty. Exceptions are during timeouts and between quarters. (The NFL has done this in an effort to "reduce taunting and overexuberant celebrations" and also "in the name of safety.")

thanks alot you damn refs. i hate you all. this game was ours.

I can't believe you guys are dwelling on this.

We were just out coached and out played tonight.

How 'bout focusing on somthing just as meaningless. Signing away Longwell from the Packers, - alotta good that did , huh?
