MNF: Raiders at Chiefs

[Vanilla2]

LoL at the reaction. I remember it being called part of the game a few times when we got hosed

 

[Hoofbite]

The second half of this game will be electric

One more bad call like that and KC fans might storm the field.

If the Jones hit was honestly a concussions risk, it’s time to reevaluate the whole thing. It’s sounds ridiculous, but we’re honestly at the point where flags on quarterbacks may be the only viable option.

I edited my post to clarify it was a bad call. Yes those body weight sacks can’t be helped.
However they remain a judgement call and not always applied the same.

I just hate the rule.

I understand why they have it - QBs are expensive and sell tickets - but it's unfair to defenders. Especially when they're trying to avoid the call, and get flagged anyway.

nah....

the NHL actually fired a ref publicly...

Goddell and committe have to publicly come out against some of these calls

Not a chance. The league got railed by the media for what the Dolphins did with Tua. This is all a response to that. Any big hit on the QB is going to be roughing the passer until the criticism comes from the other way. For some reason people can’t just hold the responsible party responsible they instead have to punish everyone. It always has to be one extreme or the other.

jobs have occupational hazards

imagine building houses and telling the crew "HEY!!! dont go higher than 6 feet"

Exactly. Don’t want to get hurt? Don’t get paid millions to play a game.

Hmmm....

I remember when the “body weight” penalty got introduced. Dallas got called for a few of them that year. Then the NFL had the refs back off on that penalty mid-way through the season because it really is a stupid penalty. Haven’t seen it called much since until this past weekend. Enforcing it to this extreme is all a reaction to Tua’s injury.

oh its going to happen and itll be the only way the NFL actually holds the refs accountable

 

[Tim93gt]

NFL is rapidly approaching their wake up call much similar to what the NHL faced prior to their last lockout.

 

[JayFord]

If i was playing id walk past the Qb and fart so bad

Exactly. Don’t want to get hurt? Don’t get paid millions to play a game.

The dirty little secret: protecting QBs' health isn't the first priority. Protecting ticket sales and TV ratings come first, and making sure starting QBs play is important.

New 2023 rule:

Defenders no longer able to tackle the quarterback from behind

good.

Wonder what the reaction would be now, when Joe Turky Jones from the Browns. Picked Terry Bradshaw up and pounded his head in the ground.

 

[Aven8]

I still can’t get over that call. That play was awesome by Jones. I almost wish he had broken Carr’s leg now and I like Carr

 

[ottawacowpoke]

This is a disgrace to the game. Totally ridiculous

This league is becoming difficult to watch.

They've got some crazy little women there
