Just one of a what seems like a dozen blatant examples of disproportionate punishment (or lack thereof) this season. What are we looking at there?

Maybe it's the low block? Low blocks are legal....unless; " Blocks below the waist are prohibited in the following situations: By players of either team after a change of possession; or By players of the kicking team after a Free Kick, Safety Kick, Fair-Catch Kick, Punt, Field-Goal Attempt, or Try Kick; or By players of the receiving team during a down in which there is a Free Kick, Safety Kick, Fair-Catch Kick, Punt, Field-Goal Attempt, or Try Kick." Are you Pat baiting, or was this ruled illegal somewhere else but not here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cddolphin Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 So you are saying, definitively, you have no issue with that block? You want to establish your position? 5 minutes ago, Hunter2_1 said: Are you Pat baiting That's too easy and there's no sport in it. I'm bemoaning inconsistent officiating when it comes to "play safety" and figured this would be the thread to post in. Should have been fined only in this case, but it was never even addressed.

The ONLY reason he wasnt suspended for a longer duration is because the NFL is already hurting in ratings, they couldn't afford for him to miss week 15.

The only issue I have with it is that he didn't do a good job - no force whatsoever. There's a plethora of low blocks that happen every game. I don't get why you're singling this one out? This isn't even the thread for it. Just seems like you're piling more on to the Pats. Trolling, even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't even the thread for it. Just seems like you're piling more on to the Pats. Trolling, even. Calling that a block is like calling a punch a quick shove. He is hitting him form behind, almost from the side, and trying to hit him below the knee with his helmet. That was an attempt to slow down a defender but not a block.
