You know it's bad when the face of your network is calling you out:
Doesn't matter, Brady/Rodgers get that call 100% of the time.

Just so happened he hit his head mid slide. What a coincidence!!!

Ive seen some pretty bad taunting calls this year
The hit to the head is kind of irrelevant since Cam was officially a runner at that point. It's more that he simply got hit while sliding.
Well that was taunting so I have no problem with that penalty, but it's getting absurd what is and isn't a penalty. Brees got a bs call yesterday when so many bigger hits to QBs go unflagged

Defender went after his mid-section, Cam slid into the hit to the head. How is that a penalty on the defender?
No, Cam waited a little too long on that slide. But to Cams benefit, the refs are typically extra cautious and would call that anyways for other QBs.
The flag late in the game where Brees was being sacked and another dude hit him? Because that was helmet-to-helmet. Looked legit to me.

He's still hitting a sliding QB. Also, these guys know what they're doing, if they can get anything on the QB then they'll purposely take the 15 yards.

Tom Brady
Drew Brees
Philip Rivers
Aaron Rodgers
All get that call. Letter of the law or not, they get the call.
All I want to see is equal protection from a league claiming to be all about player safety. Especially for a man that is the defending MVP of this league.
Once you begin to give yourself up, it's over. It was about as clear a penalty as it comes.
My 2 cents;
1) The helmet hit is kind of irrelevant since Cam was a committed runner at that point and waves some of the safeties of a quarterback.
2) The defender had started his tackle attempt before Cam began his slide. Cam took too long to commit.
3) It was absolutely taunting

I agree, and I'm not saying Cam doesn't get calls the others get.
It shouldn't be a penalty for anyone.
Cam was baaarely starting to slide when the defender launched to tackle. In real time, no way he can tell.
Defenders often get away with a lot with Rodgers. The call was bullshit but the refs are very reluctant to make those calls on athletic qb's. They seem to have decided that it is better to let the qb's get their brain scrambled instead of impacting the game by making the defense let up on the qb.
Changing gears who is the last RB who was effective after the age of 30? Even on successful runs they seem to get crushed from all sides more often than not.

fuck off Foreskins
Because Brees got caromed into him when the other guy hit him. I guess my complaint why is a hit on Brees such strict scrutiny but so many other are not?
I get what you're saying, but they need to start calling it that way for everyone before we get there.

Obviously because they protect the ones that need protecting.
Corran Horn
May the Schwartz be with you
Missed PAT ...lol
Because he can and has made them look bad.
If you want that protection you need to be an unathletic little bitch.
So many rules tailored to Brady...
2 points. -1 for the miss vs +1 for a make. You bum, Hopkins (he cost me points, too).

Rodgers also slides before defenders are about to launch at him

Stephen Nay Smith will be all over the Racist if they lose..
I might be kinda pissed too if my brain was just scrambled illegality
Curtis Martin and Tiki both put in 1600+ yd. Seasons at 31.
Not true. I specifically recall him taking an extra few steps to get a few more yards and getting hit on the slide and the refs did not call a flag.
They are pretty consistent in how they treat all athletic qb's.
You need to do some Bungles level shit to get called against the athletic ones.
Doing our part for NFC Best 💪
Oh shit.
How could I forget about Wellington!
Amazing that Martin could do that. He was used heavily throughout his career while Tiki was more of a late bloomer.
Not common at all and I can see why. These guys get absolutely destroyed.
