How many kickers could do any of the jobs of those people?  The fact that they can't matters the same.

So this actually happened early in eagles-skins today. Bradford hits a receiver over the middle, who goes down hard. But he goes down hard because of what should be regarded a totally legit shoulder tackle. But it gets even better -- the receiver goes down after HE hits the defender's shoulder rather than vice versa.

So the defender was just standing there. Unnecessary roughness called on the defender.

That was one of a handful of abysmal calls in a penalty filled game. Even allowing for the traditional nastiness of iggles/skins, it was atrocious.

WTF is going on with this League and the flags this year?

Those new look Browns uniforms are just brutal; so who designed those, or better yet, who's the moron who signed off on them?

That call was absolutely ridiculous.  I would love to hear Blandino defend it.

Here
Minnesota is lining up Peterson wide and having him just stand there as the play runs. Solid Norvball.
