Roughing the Passer

Recommended Posts

This morning all the pre-game shows were talking the bad roughing the passer calls on Brady and  Carr. If Brady takes the hit that PJ got, very ref on the field would throw the flag. plus it was helmet to helmet. That’s why everyone is calling out the refs. They need to call it straight down the line. If your star QB gets flags for someone touching them … even a 4th depth chart QB should get the same calls.
 

One of the morning shows, one of the guys said refs used to call after the game and apologize for missing calls, that doesn’t happen anymore.

if the referees that FOX hired to report what they see, says that’s a bad call on national tv …. THAT WAS A TERRIBLE CALL

Only quoting to point out that one of the broadcasters was openly cheering after the hit, calling it a great play.

for a league that’s about safety having a broadcaster cheering a helmet to helmet hit that took the teams QB out is a bad look.

It is very clear how the roughing the passer works in the NFL.  All of the 'star QB's' will get the call every time the defense gets close enough to breathe on them.  If you don't have a 'star QB' the defense can do whatever they want.  If the defense gets within 3-feet of Brady, they will call it.  They might as well play flag football.

Which makes it even worse is Stafford got that bogus roughing call earlier in the game for a simple tackle.  PJ gets his head tackled…..then after they pull him the announcers are like, interesting it appears there was some contact with the head and they are pulling him.  Not a peep about a blown call. 

I mean we lose either way.   But the CMC slam, the PJ no call, the Stafford call all goes to the show NFL games are fixed to a degree.  The league puts there thumb on the scale all the time.  Can teams overcome it? Sure.  But the Rams needed that win to stay alive in their division and get healthy going into the bye.  NFL sure seemed to put their thumb on the scale to at least do their part in that occurring.  

I don’t even think our media brought the calls up to Wilks

It's rigged to keep spreads in the right place. The Rams are a piss poor team needing that amount of help.

That was Sanchez… the butt fumbler himself

PJ hasn’t been in the league long enough to get that call

and frankly, Wilks and the Panthers were treating him like an utter clown.  No way the refs were going to give him any respect.  I mean, you are right, he isn't old enough to get calls.  But if the Panthers weren't even going to show a tad of respect to him the refs were going to treat him like a tackling dummy.  Refs clearly don't view QBs through unbiased eyes.

Lowered head to initiate contact AND helmet to helmet. Anyone of these is enough in itself.

Just make the call reviewable, or make a sky judge/New York make a 10s call. This is just embarrassing both way right now.

You do realize that you have to lower the head to male any tackle or block.

You also realize that humans aren't turtles and they can't retract their heads?

That the head sticks out from the body and will always make contact with the other person?

The call on Ioannidis was just as bad as the missed call on PJ… it’s getting to the point where it’s becoming painfully clear that at the very least, calls might be manipulated to favor one team rather than another. I don’t think we can dismiss it any longer, it’s becoming borderline Tim Donaghy/NBA level bad.

All we want is consistentcy and when we can’t even get that within the same game, it leads to the precedent that something else might be going on.

    • Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.
    • I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive
    • It is a popularity contest.  The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.
