    The personal foul was because it was helmet to helmet on a defenceless receiver

    He hadn't yet become a runner .If he was a runner, then there would have been no flag

    I wonder if Art II is a bit miffed that now he is now tied with Kraft who is Goodell's good buddy? Lets hurry up and give Tomlin a contract extension so he doesn't get away :lolol:

    NFL will add another dumb rule: It is deemed a penalty if the player is showing intent to go out of bounds. You heard it here first.

    It was over in the 4th on that bogus holding penalty that wiped out a 12 yard Gurley gain into NE territory.

    Remember when bell looked like he was going out of bounds against Cincinnati and their players pulled up and he went by them down the sideline the score touchdown?

    Yep, that's why it would be dumb like the majority of them. Just let them hit one another.

    Yeah cause Goff is Bell,LOL,,come on..Everybody knew Goff was heading for the sideline as fast as he could ,but ,yes he was still "in bounds" but to not at least acknowledge it wasn't the intent of the NE player to shove him into the sidelines or benches to "maybe" cause a fluke injury is pretty naive..

    It was a legal hit. The officials did plenty wrong yesterday, but that wasn't a mistake.

    He was in bounds and the hit was legal per the rules.

    yep,so was this ..LOL
    No ill intent whatsoever


    If this was Brady in todays game ,its a flag..If it was Brady last night instead of Goff,its a flag.Hard to win when the rules are different for every team and their players

    You can have ill intent as long as you execute it within the rules. The hit on Goff was legal. Get past it.

    If you want to complain about officiating, how about the ticky-tack hold on the Rams' center that killed the drive when the game was tied? Better yet, focus on the blatant pass interference on the throw to Cooks in the end zone the play before Goff's interception. The corner, I think it was Gilmore, clearly grabbed the receiver's arm before the ball arrive and never let go.

    Goff could have slid at the last minute and probably drawn a flag. But if no flag the clock doesn't stop since the play is dead when the slide begins (in bounds) and clock keeps running (if that was even an issue when that play occurred). I'm talking in circles but the QB's only protection is the slide, even if he had just run 99 yds.

    The way I feel right now, I wont be back to my full-time fandom until Roger Goodell is gone. To quote Joe Thomas, he's basically just Vince McMahon and the NFL is as scripted as the WWE. I've done a lot of research over the past couple of weeks to see whether or not I was just having sour grapes. Did you know that the NFL is legally allowed to fix games? From what I have read, it's true. Goodell's master, Bob Kraft, is on record praising Goodell's emphasis on story lines and exciting finishes. That tells you a lot right there. How could Goodell possibly do any of that if he's not fixing games? I now believe that Brady's suspension for deflategate was either part of the story line or cover to take the heat away from Goodell. The NFL is rigged and I am more convinced of that than ever. You'll never hear about it from the media because they are in on it. I don't know if I'll ever trust the NFL again. Goodelll leaving would be a start.

    These people remind me of all those celebrities that swear up and down that they'll leave the country after an election doesn't go their way. Only problem is they never do.

    I think next year they will require a email be sent to let the ball carrier know a tackler is coming his way....just another example of steering games
