They should be able to look at the instant replay on those types of hits.

I didn't get too mad that the cardinals were getting killed, it was almost comical. However, I did yell at the TV on that BS call. Absolute garbage, garbage call. Hard hit, but led with shoulder, completely clean. Now that pissed me off to no end.

It is sad that that hideous call by the ref is what made me the most mad today.

I know its crazy, but yes the refs should be able to review those hits. The fact is this sport is played at a speed that is faster than the human eye can even register. Rashad hit Rice perfectly with shoulder to chest. The flag was infuriating. Let the kids play ref!

THIS ONE IS FOR YOU KOC. TIM WE DID IT.
Ed Reed was 100% right. The NFL is being too protective, im sorry but today was a beautiful hit, exactly how i was tought in HS when laying the lumber on the ball carrier or wr.
What color are the Cardinals Flags gonna be when they no longer play tackle...I think a nice red and yellow would accent the helmet!

They called it unneccesary roughness. He put a shoulder into the chest of the WR. What the hell is he suppose to do let the WR hit him and fall backwards to tackle him.

Was it violent? Absolutely. This is a violent game. They can do anything they want to try to control it but it won't remove that factor.

Somebody went up and put his arm around Johnson and gave him a pat on the shoulder as if to say, "Don't worry about it. Keep playing football".

Because it was a textbook hit.

But it doesn't matter. Complaining about the one small thing in the middle of a massive cluster f*** is pointless and embarrassing.

Not if you are looking at it in a larger context. The calls are getting ridiculous. In every game. It could even get to the point that it begins to hurt fan interest in the game.

Of course for that to happen fantasy football would have to fall completely out of favor with the fans.
