Great Cobb route on the outside.

If TT had signed Trevathan as a free agent a couple of years ago, that play wouldn't have happened.I blame TT.

[pbmax]

No you can’t.

Did it change?

Because one year they really cut down on helmet to helmet but left it open for runners.

[Zool]

Jones runs hard. He’s pretty fun to watch.

[KalamazooPackerFan]

Romo keeps saying McCray is having a rough day but for what he has been asked to do with little to no prep I think he's been pretty good

[red]

see last year or the year before, they would have considered cobb "covered" and not a viable target to throw to, resulting in a sack

[Joemailman]

Glennon with a Cutler-like performance tonight.

He's Bear People.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Again a stupid route for Bennett

[Harlan Huckleby]

Just look up crown of the helmet rule. Pretty cut and dry.

OK, I wasn't aware of that rule

Did it change?

Because one year they really cut down on helmet to helmet but left it open for runners.

For safety reasons, the Committee believes that crown-of-the-helmet hits by defenders that were previously legal because the defender did not line up the runner should be illegal regardless of whether the defender lines up the runner prior to making contact. When the rule was first implemented, game officials were instructed to look for three elements for interpreting the rule for initiating forcible contact with the crown of the helmet:

Romo makes me feel like I understand 25% less football while watching. I can't process it all like he is.

Obvious I know, but I enjoyed the delusion.

But he's a "tough guy" that our defense needs. After all, look how great that Bears defense is with him.

he was covered. not a high risk throw considering the game circumstances.

[Fosco33]

That hit on Adams was completely unnecessary. No way he'd have scored and was wrapped up. Didn't see a hold on prior play anyway.

Frankly - hits like that are why I'm not pushing my 8yr old son towards football.

Take the helmet back a few generations and you won't see shit like that.

maybe tony doesn't realize that we consider letting the DE's run around you without ever touching them, to be good technique
