Roughing Penalties Need a New Baseline

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.

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.

:cry:

To me, it even looked the defender tried to avoid landing directly on the QB.  Just ridiculous.  Clean tackle is exactly right.
