T master Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 From anything any players have said it was a clean hit that Mathews did but once again the main guy in the booth that is now the head of officiating which has had his controversy in the past with calls is setting this up to be a total cluster F of a situation so expect a huge amount of calls that have grey area surrounding them through out this season & beyond !! It's the same thing that happened with the "is it a catch or isn't it a catch" Rule which if they would just have read the other rules that the GROUND CAN"T CAUSE A FUMBLE then it would have been clear when you hit the ground with the ball in your hand you were down but that common sense doesn't apply like it doesn't in so many other things in our world ...

Gigs Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 The tech is there to automate the refs and judges. Just do it, because this inability to enforce your own rules is making the game weak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy how the NFL can't even interpret its own rules right and to save face for Corrente is doubling down on is game-changing, terrible call. Matthews nor Kendricks scooped-and-pulled. It's called physics, something the NFL leaders need to learn about. When a player gets hit, especially when both QBs leave the ground on their own accord as they did in both these hits, physics takes over and you have the result that occurred, a perfectly legal hit where the QBs feet leave the ground. Again, both Rodgers and Cousins jumped into the air, they were already in the air when hit. They both did it to get more force behind there passes. When that happens, your feet are going to come out from under you when your hit in the midsection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

without a drought Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 NFL can't figure out their own rules, never heard of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you throw a flag on something you didn't see? That's the problem -- the default reaction is to throw a flag. I mainly agree and hate phantoms- would prefer a few misses to too many calls but i amazed by amount of times calls clearly are called and expected actions and not on actual plays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Tuesday Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 I really cannot understand why a multi-billion dollar industry cannot get its act together to design and enforce rules in a clear and consistent way. It is affecting my enjoyment of, and interest in, the sport. I watch less and less of it. Goodell's NFL is boring, unfair, and surprisingly reactive and stupid.

mannc Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 On 9/18/2018 at 6:12 AM, RoyBatty is alive said: I think from the refs angle he thought Matthews put all his weight on the QB, from the angle we see in this thread it is clear he didn't. I understand why the rule, often these 310 pound DT put their weight on the QB on purpose, it doesn't assist in bringing the QB down. All the more ridiculous given that Anthony Barr’s far dirtier hit, which put Aaron Rodgers out for most of the year, was not flagged. Barr intentionally landed on Rodgers with his full weight well after the ball was away, the opposite of what Matthews did. 15 minutes ago, Coach Tuesday said: I really cannot understand why a multi-billion dollar industry cannot get its act together to design and enforce rules in a clear and consistent way.

It wasn't called because it wasn't a roughing the passer according to the rule book at the time, but they made the "body weight" rule based off that hit.

Believe it or not it is same in other industries. Even traffic rules have contradictions with me getting a ticket once for "impeding traffic flow" because I was going the speed limit and cars were going to my bumper and then darting into traffic. I told officer than I could not prevent it without speeding and he said I should have sped up until traffic slowed down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCal Deek Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 There isn’t one thing about the NFL that has improved since Roger Goodell’s been the Commissioner. Yet he keeps his job and even gets a raise. The Owners are clueless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually they get it right with video replay. The fact that they occasionally screw up the replay review (always to the benefit of the Patriots) doesn’t mean the entire system is no good. It’s used in college football to review illegal hits and it works there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
