That sack call was such garbage

[royalshank]

They called the same call during The Chargers Washington game.

Right. It’s the rule but it’s a bad one. The defensive player has no choice other than to give up on the play.

 

[RWillow]

This was a game changer, furious at this more than anything so far.

We all know why...

 

[Sherif]

It's a call designed just for a select favored set of qbs currently Jones and Herbert.

Oh I totally agree brother its a bad rule. It was referred to to The Tom Brady rule today.

Yes because he got hurt on a play like that back in 2008 I think? Doesn’t make any sense to me.

 

[Pandarilla]

Gotta beat the refs in Gillette...

Can't lunch at the knees, he has to wrap up below or above and not shoulder tackle at the knees.

These rules are becoming absurd. Was he supposed to offer him his cookies from his lunch before attempting a tackle? Or just stand still and allow him to run around and collapse on the ground and make zero attempt to tackle anyone because it might be seen as helmet to helmet or trying to tackle (god forbid he falls down while trying to make a play). Love the dolphins but the rules are getting plain dumb.

Happy we won, but getting more annoyed at the nfl and wtf a penalty or a catch is lately.

Oh lord. The idiot announcer just said Preston Williams was a "track meet" speed guy. Stop them from making my brain hurt.

I heard that too. He said Preston was the fastest guy before we drafted Waddle. My son and I were like WTF, just stop talking

 

[Andyman]

That was the worst call I’ve ever seen in my life. And it wasn’t inconsequential. It resulted in free points for the Patriots.

That's actually the rule as far as I understand it. You cannot go low on the QB unless you're chasing him from behind outside the pocket. The official enforced the rule. It's a bad rule in that instance but not a horrible call.

He's gone but his ghost lives on every telecast...

 

[FinFan17]

I got sick to my stomach after that horrible roughing call. They need to change that rule and delete it from the rule book permenately before they lose fans.

 

[FinFan17]

While they are at it, get rid of the tuck rule, another nonsense rule to protect Princess Brady.

 

[jreg1]

I almost broke my damn tv remote when they called that crap!

 

[Dolph N.Fan]

Everyone says that rule is the Tom Brady rule including the announcers, but it’s actually the “Carson Palmer” rule for what happened to him in the playoffs.

 

[phinzfan21]

I want to say I couldn't believe it when it happened, but it actually just seems to be what to expect when playing in Foxboro. Was a garbage call taking away an amazing effort.
