This line is what grates me the most. Officiating has become more subjective than objective. That is why we are getting so many inconsistent calls in almost every game. The most irritating ones are the ones that happen at impromptu times like "make up calls" or missed calls.
I love football like many of you but this over-officiating ref ball has to stop.
Zeke will be fine (no pun intended). I would not surprised though if there was somehow a rule made against yet another Cowboy (Irvin, Roy Williams, Witten, Emmitt rules). I guess, Zeke should have fallen up instead of down.
They have to have a rule like this because of their legal liability in the concussion lawsuits. But on that play, both players lead with their helmets and the other Eagles defender was pushing Zeke into the play. IMO it should have been offsetting penalties if you have the rule on the books.
Subjectivity is the problem in the NFL. There is no standard. Next week, this exact play will likely go unpenalized.
Zeke initiated more than the defender.
You lower yourself to brace for impact this rule is stupid
Did he lower his head to "brace for impact" or did he turn to run toward the defender and aim his head downward to deliver a blow?
