Week 9 Commies vs. Pats
- Thread starter Nator
- Start date
The defender should gently lower the QB to the ground while cradling their head. It’s fucking stupid.
The thing about this play is I can see how the ump could have missed it from his angle, and in those days the crew didn’t get together to correct missed calls. This call… what did the official see???
This is the best post ever and a new take.
The NFL is out to get us by making us win!
Textbook tackling. You can't call this. Absurd.

A few years ago Aaron Rodgers got hurt when someone landed on him when he got sacked. I can’t remember if it was a separated shoulder or a broken collarbone or what, but the NFL Buster Posey’d a new rule for the next season that makes defending players defy the laws of physics in tackling QBs. You can’t land on them with your full weight.
he says some really odd stuff too, in the first half he kept calling normal clapping a "one hand clap" for some reason
But he didn’t land on him with his full weight like you normally see when that call is made. Man this one was absurd.
I have no problem with the body weight thing once the QB has released the ball but while he has the ball? If he wants protection he needs to throw. If it’s a pick or grounding, ok. But if he has the ball, he should be eligible to be tackled.
pretty sure that’s been a rule since tony siragusa knocked rich Gannon out of a playoff game that way.
I think he meant clapping once - like one ‘hand clap’, not ‘one hand’ clap. It was weird.
He started to say the league wants players to tackle more to the side.....................then he stopped and basically said it was a horrible call.
Which it was.
He might have meant “one hand, clap,” which is when one of the sailors on the ship has gonorrhea.
