    Brady is a passer too. If Marsha gets hit like that there are flags flying from every direction. The Steelers should have been given a first down there.

    The Browns player will get a fine. It doesn’t help in the game though.

    Jesus. But Watt knocking Mayfield into Highsmith in the 4th rose to the level of roughing. :facepalm:

    Oh yeah, he's definitely lighter in the pocket, but that definition, saying they didn't see the contact that rose to the level of needing to be called...How do you not see and hear that?

    "..didn't see contact that rose to the level of a foul"? I've got 3 words then. Open your eyes!

    So his helmet almost coming off didn’t alert a direct hit?

    Try to keep in mind this is the same league that originally thought pulling a quarterback's helmet off and bludgeoning him with it was a reasonable response.

    I didn’t think the hit on Boz warranted an unnecessary roughing penalty. It looked clean and Boz is simply not built to take such a shot. Heck I would celebrate if Fitzpatrick lays the same on Justin Tucker.

    He hit him in the head with his helmet. It was a text book roughing call.

    And hit him late, the ball was clearly out. Easiest call in the world to make.

    I remember a few weeks ago on a free play Ben threw a ball to DJ in the endzone that almost got DJ hurt. I said that was a risky play but everyone said it was a free play and being aggressive was called for. Flash forward to this thread and the aggressive play call is panned heavily.

    Yeah, I remember and I still don’t understand your point, lol.

    On a free play Ben should just spike it so no one gets hurt? How is throwing deep on a free play any different then throwing deep when it’s not?

    Kicking a field goal is not a free play during a penalty. Almost everyone goes aggressive on a free play
    (Hell a Quarter of A Rodgers tds are on free plays. LoL) , but not everyone skips a easy 3 point lead going into half time ...with us receiving the Ball 1st in the 2nd Half.
    Also I say it's a Bad play , but If anyone saying I'm saying it cause I hate Tomlin clearly hasn't read anything I written ever.

    It was definitely Helmet to Helmet. I’d be more pissed if we would’ve lost.

    I don't know that I had one besides thinking what a dumb way to get an injury lol. I think at that point I was questioning Ben's decision making process.

    I think my point at that time was yes take advantage of the no negative on it but do so in a non risky way. Or quite possibly I'm talking out my south side.

    I think the fake was ballsy and it ended up costing the team. But that's the type of aggressive call they needed 6 or 7 years ago and played it safe. Today I don't know meh.

    Well...all is well that ends well...I guess....So If Boz is good 2 go next week ....Coaches should call it a learning experience, and ask Why there was not a Flag for Helmet 2 Helmet , or possibly a late Hit also.

    If you watch the replay of the game today or tomorrow you should see if they were doing any border line legal holding on PF and Gentry. It looked like they were both options on that play.

    It was a blatant helmet to helmet. What made it worse was the roughing call later on Highsmith. Even Romo goes “vicious shot”. Lol what

    Highsmith should have done that matrix, super-physics move thing. Or time traveled. Anything but stand still and have someone fall into him. That's just vicious.
