Collinsworth is a moron.

Yes, it’s a fumble. No, it’s not for the reason you think. (Well, Maybe he’s right. But I just hate the way he frames everything with his smugness.)

Bitching about the rules is kind of a cliche this season; but to me it seems like helmet to helmet is a call that is entirely based on how violent a collision looks at first glance. That hit looked really bad in real time, but clearly on the replay it was very minor and not even close to helmet to helmet. Conversely if a guy gets rocked in the middle of a pile with a helmet to helmet and it isn’t in the open field, it is rarely called.

Sure was lucky the guy about to tackle Ryan just happened to fall down. Probably had nothing to do with the O-Lineman tackling him from behind. Just a horrific non-call.

I get penalties for ripping defenseless receivers going over the middle in the head.

Penalties for barely contacting a receiver diving right at you for a catch in the end zone are ridiculous. Throw a flag on the receiver for illegal diving.
