Davis his head snaps back as well from the Kam hit, but that's just because it's like getting hit by a truck.
I like Kam

I know but I'm just saying eventually there's going to be a day when Kam leads with his "BAM (the shoulder tatoo) and some idiot is going to run head first into it and hurt himself. Of course we going to get flag 15 yards for it.
He also tries too hard most the time to get his schtick to stick/stand out in a thread. Worst kind of joke poster
Blow up a player and it'll get flagged, helmet or no.
Same thing happened with Mike Mitchell (#23) against the Rats earlier this season.
Emmanuel Sanders got blown up yesterday for a flag but got no flag in St Louis when he was blown up and concussed. They don't know what they are calling.
I want them to review these types of plays , but the review system has to be overhauled. It takes way to long to review a play. Should be like the college system or NHL.

Yea Simmons says Belichick ask for it every year in the meetings during the off season.

Kam says if he hits him with the "BAM (tat on his shoulder) then he knows it's a legal clean hit.
Well Kam better get a memo before we get screwed because leading with the shoulder still can get 15...

Didn't they centralize the review system this year?
I'm hoping someone can help me with an economics question.
I bought a iTunes gift card. I buy songs and apps. One day I decide to gift someone a song. Itunes charges my credit card for that song instead of taking it from my store credit. When I ask why, they say I can't gift a gift.
What difference does this make to a corporation?

Belichick already wanted everything to be reviewed. They said no. Probably because dudes like Jeff Fisher never want to match wits with Belichick.
Supposedly. They are still taking too long.

The Oregon Duck's have scored more points at Levi's this year than the 49ers and the Ducks have played 1/3 as many games there.
You're not allowed to hit a defenseless receiver like that. It wasn't exactly helmet-to-helmet, but he hit a defenseless receiver in the head/neck area to dislodge the ball. Browner rams his shoulder into his head/neck area.
This is how the game has been called all year. It happens to the Pats in prime-time and everyone wants to debate whether the league has gone too far. They've been trying to take that hit out of the game over the past few years. You aren't allowed to hit a defenseless receiver like that.
The referee was wrong about it being "helmet-to-helmet." but it was 100% a personal foul and no INT. Those are the rules now.
So business as usual.
If you blow someone up you're likely to get flagged, you'll get away with it once in a while but more often than not you're getting flagged.
Not much you can do on some of these plays. You hit someone in the chest with your shoulder and he's going to whip his head back, violent hit. You go too low and you'll blow a guys leg out, you're dirty. Basically you have to go above the knee and below the chest, and that's not factoring how guys curl up when they're about to get hit so you get even less room to make a "clean" hit.
My only problem last night was the media nimrods going ape shit about it being a "clean" hit, then they'll turn around next week and lament how little the NFL does for ex-players who are suffering from football related injuries. Meanwhile you see these types of flags almost every week.

That hit changed the game though. Fired up the defense and the chargers didn't do anything after that.

This piss me off even more than. How the fuck was he defenseless? Was he fucking blind folded? The only reason he was so called defenseless because he failed to catch the ball cleanly. So you want to reward him for bobbling the ball and not doing his job? Right? If he would of caught the ball clean and took 2 steps then he wouldn't have been so called defenseless correct?
Yes lets reward inept ball catching by WR!
That play the refs wanted to call contact to the head - it's why they threw the flag - but they saw that it was a clean hit, so they changed it to pass interference and covered it with an unsportsmanlike conduct call so no one would notice.
Exactly. There is no going back to the way things were before. I loved watching Dawkins hit people, but the NFL isn't going to retreat from their new rules about protecting players from concussions. It would look really, really bad.
1 month later and Halo MCC is still broken? MS is seriously fucking up and killing a great online community.
I'm glad I've waited on all the consoles. At this point I'd probably get a Wii U. The fact Nintendo doesn't have voice communication in 2014 is ridiculous also but at least with them if I buy a game it won't be a buggy mess like a lot of what's being released on PS4 and XBO.

As @CSimmsQB pointed out in video yesterday, Jeff Fisher and Mike Shanahan are great friends. Helps explain shots at WSH.
Brees and Payton really are scum. The Panthers completely stopped trying after running out the 3rd quarter, nothing but run plays up the middle and punts. The Saints? Brees in shotgun formation getting his receivers killed on vertical routes. In a 41-3 game. And people think Bounty Gate was masterminded by a defensive coordinator lol

I hope they're back around for my short time back!
Will he be the team janitor on the team when that happens?
What happened to Geno "I'm gonna fire my agent because I'm not the number 1 pick" Smith?
Yeah but that won't help me win my fantasy game doe

That can't be true, can it?
Cfb doesnt play defense.
Neither do half the teams in the NFL.

It is. All the scoring TD's has been either TE's, QB or RB's
E: Bowe in either Green Bay, Indy or New England? He needs a new home
Thats 16 more than 0 in cfb
Doesn't matter. No defense is no defense.
Are you people seriously still trying to say this is a legal hit? Seriously? Launches, goes high, makes contact to the head. Helmet to helmet was NOT the call.
Guess all Pats ignore the rules until the league actually decides to call one against them.
