They were complaining about it on Mike and Mike this morning, no reason at all for that hit to be a penalty. It was not a late hate, he lead with his shoulder, tackled him in the mid section, and then rolled off Ponder instead of driving him into the ground.

No shit! Perfect tackle, training tape kind of stuff... facemask up, across the chest, hips low, explode through target. If that was leading with the helmet there's no legal way to tackle.Originally posted by gbgary View PostComment

I am not admitting defeat yet, but I am pretty close to beaten here. I wish I could find the video. I swore at the time, for both live action and the replay, that his initial hit was helmet first, like Bishops.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.Comment

Hmmm....I actually agreed that he hit helmet to midsection (an obvious accident as it endangered CLAY), but Bishop was DEFINATELY shoulder to midsection.Originally posted by pbmax View PostI am not admitting defeat yet, but I am pretty close to beaten here.

I may be mis-remembering now. Like a TD catch, I can no longer identify a legal tackle. Its almost as impenetrable as a balk or a foot fault in tennis.Originally posted by bobblehead View PostBud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs.

lol at the comparison to a balk.
At full speed, I thought he had led with his helmet, and he was getting the penalty for some sort of spearing infraction. The picture tells a different story. I don't think he drove him into the ground, either.--

The ticky tack calls on the QB, combined with the total emasculation of the defensive backs, is turning pro football into beach vollyball. No, not quite. But it is just about impossible to hold a good QB to under 300 passing yards. Kinda sucks, I find it less entertaining.Comment

Every week there is 2 to 3 bad calls. It was our turn this week. What sucks is it led to 6 pts, turning a dominant performance into a close game.All tyrannies rule through fraud and force, but once the fraud is exposed they must rely exclusively on force.

"When tackling a passer who is in a defenseless posture (e.g., during or just after throwing a pass), a defensive player must not unnecessarily or violently throw him down and land on top of him with all or most of the defender's weight. Instead, the defensive player must strive to wrap up or cradle the passer with the defensive player's arms."
He did not cradle him like a baby.

The league did NOT fine Clay for this infraction so the league in a round about way is admitting the ref blew it with that call.Comment
