Heavy Kevi Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Uhhhh.... What? Clean, beautiful sack, no helmet contact, no "unneccesary roughness", nothing. This would not shock me if that was Marsha taking the sack, but officials are making calls like that on regular guys now? Won't be long they will be flagging defenders for "intent". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like the phantom PI against our guy in the Jags/Bills London game a few years back. NFL is going to have to allow penalties to be review-able sooner rather than later with all the increased pressure being put on the officials.

Real McClappy Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Minus well just make the league flag football. It's really sad to see what the league has become over the last 10years and just getting worse and worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Red King Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 The CFL allows penalties to be reviewable. After watching that terrible call, I think it's time the NFL adopt it. Good lord, first time I've seen that involving a QB not called Brady... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royale with Cheese Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 There’s no way the NFL FO can see this and not think there isn’t a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metzelaars_lives Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 (edited) I’m just kind of assuming this isn’t going to happen in the regular season. I’ll wait til one of these happens in a Bills game to get worked up over it. But yeah that call is an embarrassment to the league and an insult to the intelligence of anyone who has ever watched or played the game of football.

mannc Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 1 hour ago, Dr. Who said: If whoever oversees officiating doesn't clarify to the refs that this is a clean sack, the game will indeed be unwatchable. Compare that to the (unpenalized) dirty hit that Barr laid on Aaron Rodgers last year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LabattBlue Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I don't even get the putting your head down to make a tackle bull ****. As long as you aren't making head to head contact, who cares how you tackle? How exactly would they like a 190 lb DB to tackle a 230 lb RB? It's a violent game. Injuries are going to happen. All players understand the risk. I can't wait for a game being decided due to a drive being extended on one of these stupid penalties....my guess would be...week 1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkAF43 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I still think the league should look into my idea. One off the field official reviews any flags that are thrown and will radio down and say hey that's a good call go with it or not. Simple, doesn't require challenges and wouldn't add a significant amount of time to the game. For example, PI call, if the two just get their feet tangled but on the field they call the db, the booth official radios down and says nope incidental contact pick up the flag. Easy adjustment to make. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincec Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 The refs made a mistake. Luckily, it’s the only one they’ll make this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmur66 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Pretty soon you will have to carry a My Pillow and lay it down under the QB when you tackle, I mean tuck him in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChasBB Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Hell, might as well just put a red shirt on the QB and equip him with a flag and say the QB position is now flag football and the QB cannot be touched if they're going to make crappy calls like this.
