The first play they showed was a great hit. It was a shoulder to shoulder hit. Based on they way the receiver’s head jerked I can understand the ref on the field making the mistake, but for the head office to use it as an example shows they dont even know their own rule book. It was similar to the Rahim Moore hit in preseason.

I think there is a problem with quick whistles. I am still steaming about the quick whistle that cost us a turnover, but they also showed in the saints game that if there was not a quick whistle on Brees’s fumble, that might have been returned for six by the Lions. He even says that the whistle was blown before the Lions recovered and because of that the saints should have maintained possession. Thats crap. They need to make quick whistle plays reviewable because they so often occur when possession is being contested.

and is the only rule I can think of that can single handedly change the outcome or momentum of a game unfairly and for no reason. At the very least it should be changed so that the correct team can get possession of the ball that they have earned.
