NFL Executive Vice President for Football Operations Troy Vincent says that the league’s Competition Committee is looking at immediate ejections as a solution to eliminate hits to the head.

“The Committee is also exploring ways — including considering immediate ejections or suspensions — to take dangerous hits out of our game,” Vincent wrote on Twitter. “We’ll communicate this to our coaches and players with video examples of flagrant hits that may result in ejection or suspension.”

 

We all know exactly why they are doing this.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To better protect Tom Brady.

What?  You actually think, after all this time, that the refs are finally going to give Cam a break?

Because you would've taken the shot too. ;-)

 

 

 

Its totally up to the zebras to call this and make sure these players are taken out of the game.

I have went through PFT as well as the league office on ideas and they seem to be poised to do some big changes.

Won't be ejections for any hits on Cam. Hell, we can't even get them to throw a flag, much less consider an ejection.

So the league is basically saying "we have screwed the Panthers over many times and we want to make it right"

[TylerDurden]

Who cares?  It's not like they enforce the rules uniformly and protect all QBs equally...  Cam won't benefit from this either way, so I could care less.

[Mr. Scot]

I think I saw this movie already.

Until there's an official in the booth looking specifically for headhunting and being able to eject players at the moment they realize a deliberate shot has been taken, then it's all just white noise.  

[PhillyB]

they're going to have go if they want to prolong the game as it's currently played.

[E CaT PanTHer 2]

agreed with the majority consensus, the refs have to throw the flag first to even reach determining whether an ejection is warranted. Won't happen for Cam.

This one still fugging infuriates me every damn time I see it.

That idiot ref was staring DIRECTLY at Cam's head from about 8 feet away and his response was "everythings good, play on".

No, that wasn't a "missed call".

That was an "I don't like this QB because he embarrassed my buddy, fug him" non-call.

The way they call Carolina games I'd be surprised if they don't eject Cam for the hits.

Dean Blandino is a joke after all he's an ex-stand up comedian and his Refs are the joke
