I understand your point, he still hit him above the shoulders, it was an illegal hit.

Once you leave the pocket, your protection stipulations should be null and void

I'm mad that cost us the game, but that is 100% not allowed...

My biggest complaint is the Saints did the exact same thing to Bryce earlier in the quarter and the refs literally looked at Bryce and then turned the other way and gave no fugs...

Truly.. if there is any other fan base that didn't recognize the refs hate us, just show the game film from the last three games we played....

The QB slide should be banned because it actually does the opposite of the intent and puts the QB in extreme danger and at risk in football.  Some of the worst hits are QBs that slide getting decapitated.   QBs are much safer IMO if afforded no protection and have to act as RBs.  

*much like earlier in this season, Bryce still doesn’t know how to do the baseball slide.  He do that late slow crumble/fall.

byoungs slide was alot later and his hit wasnt too the head.  i dont understand why thr defenders even dive at someone on the ground all they have to do is touch him or if they were thinking he is running tackle by running through them not diving at them on the ground.  either way panthers had a shot to win with byoung  and the drive didnt work out.  have the panthers ever ran a qb sneak with young?

9/10 out of ten Shough lowers his shoulder and drive for more yards. The idea that a defender is supposed to know the magical 10th time and pull up is insane-and when it’s officiated Inconsistently like it was yesterday-then massive changes needs to be made.

 

either ban the slide or make guys choose. You slide once-that’s who you are for that game. It’s more convoluted but it’s better than this current system. The NCAA was quick to change the rule after Kenny Pickett gamed the rule, but then again that’s the NCAA. The NFL usually hates admitting they have any blemish whatsoever.

you aren’t talking about the correct play nor are you addressing the issue presented

How do you hit someone going down to the ground on their butt below their shoulders?  Have you played any level of football before?

It's a garbage play and we all know why the league wants to "protect" Qbs so much. 

Can't hit em high, can't hit em low, protect them as much as you want in the pocket, but once they break the line of scrimmage and become a runner the bubble wrap should come off.

I'm surprised a defender hasn't torn a ACL coming to a sudden stop trying to not touch a player running full speed a split second ago.

The call is questionable, no doubt.  If a QB is going to run, he should be fair game, no slide or no slide.  That said, even with no penalty called, NO still has a chance to kick the game winner from the 45.  Not a gimme, but still a chance.
