Interesting how people want the targeting rule to come to the NFL. They probably should.

I hate the targeting rule. I do like the option of throwing players out for those type of tackles but it shouldn't be so cut and dry. There's a lot of targeting penalties that shouldn't even be penalties.

 

[StylisticS]

It is a rule.

The ejection part is in the NFL? I didn't know that.

 

[CowboyStar88]

So many drops around the league today.

 

[guag]

There's no way that was interference.

finally calling holds on these *******s

What has Watson done in his career exactly for the Browns to pay him 230 million, after not playing a single second of football in the last few years?

I expected this Titans defense to be a bit better but statistically they aren't all that good.

 

[Carson]

Can they eject for that. Of course they didn't.

It’s Philly. The league is too busy penalizing and fining guys for accidentally tossing the ball back to the ref

 

[guag]

Wow this Eagles game is certainly entertaining and is making me thirsty.

Notice

I cam see your point of view

Giants and bears are next. So it was no way they was going to get caught.

LOL but of course offset it with a bad PI call.

According to the NFL rulebook, targeting occurs if a player lowers his head to initiate and make contact with his helmet against an opponent.



The penalty for targeting is also 15 yards, and players may be disqualified. The penalty doesn't warrant an automatic ejection as it does at the NCAA level.



In the NFL, the penalty for targeting (fine, suspension, etc.) is at the discretion of Commissioner Roger Goodell.

2 unsportsmanlike, unnecessary roughness, or taunting and your day is done

Eagles o line sucking after that puff story with Andrew on fox

 

[baltcowboy]

The cowboys are too far behind and the eagles play no challenging teams in December

Tennessee and the Cowboys are not challenging.

I think they'll split with the Giants. Giants seem to be a bad match up for them.

Lots of massage jobs.
