Moderators AHF Posted January 4, 2021 Moderators Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 I know I've griped about it here before but the NFL needs to change the rules on roughing the passer. The type of BS that led to this call has to end. Textbook tackles should never involve roughing penalties. You should need something more than simply wrapping the guy up and bringing him down before a flag can be justified. This makes me angry as a fan and I don't care at all about the Lions. But it is hardly unique to them. Just ugly. https://www.yahoo.com/sports/ridiculous-roughing-call-on-kirk-cousins-sack-sets-up-vikings-gamewinning-td-214021964.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators macdaddy Posted January 4, 2021 Moderators Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 omg. that's absurd. nfl rules in general are all jacked up. They do seem willing to change them though so hopefully there will be improvement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Mule Posted January 4, 2021 Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 What were they thinking? Absurd, for sure. Clean tackle, and that's all. No penalty should have been called. Looked like a mighty fine tackle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
