One of the worst cases of targeting the knee that I've ever seen. From a player that has a history of trying to take out QBs knees.

If this were Tom Brady, that would result in a huge fine and suspension.

It's simple season-ending targeting from angry players.

Unless you protect the QB from this, it's lights out. This league has its QBs that are protected. RT17 has been one that is subject to a beating, tho. Along with Cam Newton.

Brady gets barely touched points to knee and gets the flag its disgustng to watch
 
Officiating crew today was a disgrace.

To quote Jesse Ventura's character from the film Predator, they had a bunch of slack-jawed ******s out there officiating the game today.
 
The refs in today's game are one of the many reasons I've continued to lose interest in the NFL's product.

Total bull semen, as Dennis Leary once said. Vernon used to get flagged once a game for breathing on QBs feet.
 
Yep! I mean, last year Cam Newton pretty much put the spotlight on the refs when he got hit late, asked where his flag was, and the ref said "you haven't done enough yet to get a flag". Or something to that effect. Total joke!
 
Boomer Esiason said it earlier about that hit on Tannehill he said Campbell did that same thing to Cam Newton they ought to find out what the deal is with Campbell.
 
The calls in this game all day were a freaking joke! You would think we were playing in Phoenix!
 
I see qbs hit in the legs a lot. I have no idea when that's considered a penalty b/c its hardly ever called.

Calls were horrendous all game.

on that play it looks our lineman pushed Campbell into RT. Sucks'

I rember also thinking a run should be called at that time considering we had the lead by two scores I believe.

The Cards are a disgrace and we're getting extremely cheap when they felt the game was lost.
 
I watched it frame by frame. He targeted T'hills knee and tried to tackle after the ball was released. Albert did push him but he was looking at T'hills knee all the way applying pressure without need.
 
If I were a football player on offense, and someone went purposely for my QB's knees, I'd do the same back to that player.
 
same here. Replay is beyond doubt.
