Ya im just going off what Carey said during the broadcast in that he was at that time a runner and the hit wasn't illegal.

Not my own opinion as I don't care about either team, just going by what was said by a former head of officiating.

Ahh okay. I'm sure he's right but I personally felt like it shoulda been flagged lol

RIPDAVE

I'll be the first to admit I know jack shit about football, but considering Carey went through the play multiple times and explained why it wasn't illegal, I'm inclined to believe him and the officials who also deemed it to not be illegal.

yeah im inclined to believe he was wrong.

Yeah because a Ref never gets a call wrong, ever, in his entire life  :lol: :lol:  :lol:  yes you are posting to argue and no my knowledge it better because im 100% correct in this instance.  ill take my word over his 100% of this time, all day every day.

Refs get it wrong all the time, but it isn't cut and dry.

If you want to believe you know more than refs or former refs then that is fine man. Doesn't mean I am going to agree with you.


Hopefully you don't report me for that

Ya it is definitely questionable. The game was dirty as shit.

But that second half was amazing.

“The first rule change prohibits a runner or tackler from initiating forcible contact with the crown of the helmet outside the tackle box,” the video’s narrator says. “There are three components to this foul: First, the player must line up his opponent. Second, he must lower his head. And third, he must deliver a forcible blow with the crown of his helmet to any part of his opponent’s body. The crown is the very top of the helmet. This rule was designed not only to protect the player receiving the blow, but also the player delivering it. Violations of this rule will result in 15-yard penalties for unnecessary roughness, and potential discipline.


"not a penalty" despite if you were to descibe it to someone, it would be a text book cover of the rule :lol: :lol: :lol: some people man.

yes it is cut and dry and yes i will believe i know more then the refs in this situation because i do.

Well when your not instigating you wouldn't get reported. Simple fix if you ask me.

Your idea of instigating is lulzy.

But keep on keeping on!

Yeah I have to agree with JT. I have seen more often than not them call a runner a live target for hitting (yes even with the crown of the helmet). NFL is strange because they act differently than the other two leagues I watch (CFL/NCAA).

I do have to say, the "arguing for the sake of arguing" is somewhat of a skewed comment if you have stated you aren't a Bengals fan but are arguing it to the death.

Dude got a pretty nice cut from that one too.

Denver might have to thank Burfict.

 

I see him graze the helmet, but hit the point of his shoulder blade. I don't know, a little different than what is being described. Still don't see it as a dirty hit.
