NFL is already polluted with too many calls. After watching the Jets/Ravens game...a lot of the holding calls on Cromartie were considered good coverage just two years ago. I never thought until this year that the refs were changing the outcomes of games. There were only a few I could name. This year there is already two and it's Week 1.

:lol:

WTF does that mean... either you get hit in the head or not.

"The league ruled Friday that while Martin used his shoulder and not his head last Sunday, he hit a defenseless player in the head area, which has become a point of emphasis."

So, let's see if we can get this right-

1. There was no penalty on the play, which means the hit was okay with the refs.

2. The league admits Martin used his shoulder and did not lead with his head

3. The league now says there exists a "head area" that obviously covers an area larger than the head, meaning it extends to what point on the body? Does it include the shoulders, which is the next closest body part to the head besides the neck?

We should start a fund just for those kinda hits on the huddle. I would love to see him hit people like that every week. He cant help the guy is made of glass. I would gladly pay money each week to let people know they aint coming clean in the middle of the field and not paying for it. Good job Martin!

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Everyone knew the catch was secured and didn't move. That was clear to the entire audience. The only ones who thought it wasn't a catch were in the NYC home office. They knew they'd just offer an apology the next day.

      Canales is holding us back

      By RumHam · Posted

      NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
