|High School Harry| Posted August 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 Bull fucking shit! Mikey take care of that please. Still don't understand . If you dont draw a penalty on the spot, how the fuck are you subject to a fine. I'm hating the NFL more n more everyday. The whole thing is fucked up. Especially considering it was a special teams play. If it should have been called, call it. But they didn't. And EVERY kick of any sort seems to have some penalty on one team or another most of which are ticky-tack or just plain bullshit. The refs were right there when the hit was made. And its not like they did not have time to discuss it afterwards. I hope the refs were fined, too. They darn well SHOULD have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you suggesting that he shouldn't have been fined? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No he shouldn't have actually. Stupid missed unacceptable no call by the refs. Fix the system and make the ref jobs fulll time.until then, you get what you pay for.

Fix the system and make the ref jobs fulll time.until then, you get what you pay for. The system is an over-regulated one, in which there there is no possible way to consistently implement the regulations. Fixing it would, in large part, de-regulate to a simpler code for enforcement. Sort of like the way it was before all of the regulations were inserted. Which was well before the concussion litigation, and the unquenchable urge by the NFL to become the 100-yard Arena League.

|Lucid| Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 I applaud their efforts to try to protect people from brain injury.. But in the end this is a physical sport, and there is going to be a physical toll extracted for playing it. They need to accept the fact that some incidental helmet to helmet contact is going to occur and focus on the technique used by the player and whether it conforms to the standard they have set for a clean tackle. This would also make what the offensive player does to exacerbate the problem by tucking/ducking etc irrelevant because the only focus is on what the tackler is doing at the time of contact. From there they can decide what culpability an offensive player may have in these types of collisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would venture to say more than a few of these helmet to helmet hits are not the defenders fault or intent. The offensive player's actions should be taken into account also.
