I wish you would all stop acting like girls and STOP with your CAM WHINING! Frankly its embarrasing. Everytime some perceived slight of Cam happens someone has to start a thread about it, Get the fug over it please, Cam isnt your boyfriend and you dont have to show him what an internet tough guy you are.

Not that it's fair or right, but the ferocity of TD's hit drew the flag.

RG3 is a league darling right now - refs have his back.

Seems to me any big market team gets the favor at home. I mean Vick is getting killed in Philly but no one cares.

First the hit on Cam did not look as violent, the one on RG did. Second, it was that way ALOT with Vick in all those years we played him against Atlanta. Many times he would look like is going out of bounds then turned it upfield, so there were plenty of times he got late hit calls cause he would decide to go out of bounds. Not sure how you handle that, except after awhile with QB's that play that way you treat as a RB when they run out of the pocket. But not sure if that will ever happen. Vick was good at using this to his advantage when he ran.

That flag gets thrown every single time in today's NFL, fair or not. If you haven't noticed, this league is all about protecting the QB and when it appears a QB is stepping out of bounds, defenders must let up or else they will get a 15 yarder. This applies to every quarterback in the league, even pickles.

Interesting stat about the game:

wow. not surprised, though. lot's of that going on. some refs call for the home team more. some, like hochuli (who is the worst at this, btw) make more calls for the away team. very few call it balanced. what's shocking to me is just how little difference there is between the quality of the real refs and the replacements. within a couple seasons the replacements would have caught up to the quality of the refs we have now.

It looked like a hit out of bounds to me until they replayed it in slow motion. The refs don't get to look at the replays before making a call. I don't think it's a huge deal either way.

this is one change i think needs to be made. penalty flags can't be challenged. i don't know why they haven't done this but considering the potential momentum changes and overall impact on a game that we have seen far too often first hand, it absolutely should be done.

If you watch the game again, Watch for several late hits by the redskins Middle linebacker. He had at least 3 on Cam in the game and was not once called for it. At one point when Cam scrambed for a first down and slide head first. He was clearly down by contact but here again comes the MLB diving in well late and straight for Cams head and neck areas. Right i fromt of a ref. So yes there may have been some double standards in the game.

re: the hit onRG3 vs. the one on cam....i think that rg3 is one of the new nfl/media QB darlings and his going to a big market team just compounded that.

this hit, though, i don't take as something to support that. cam is built like a frikkin tank and griffin is built like a ragdoll (and he kind of looks like one, tbh). but, cam's gonna take hits a lot better than most of these midget 75 pound QBs you have running around. guys like griffin are going to go flying after getting hit by one of the grown ups while cam is going to just stand there. cam's gonna have to take some acting lessons to make real hits against him look like they actually happened and get noticed by the refs. meanwhile all a guy like griffin has to do is have someone sneeze on him and he turns into a helicopter.

then there's the TD factor. that guy is fast and hits like a sledgehammer (wasn't that his nickname early on?). remember TD's rookie year he paralyzed some guy on the packers. the guy can flat out do some damage so that hit on the sidelines was kind of like a sledgehammer being taken to an egg. it's going to be a spectacle and refs are going tonotice something big happened and without the benefit of a challenge, which isn't allowed in those situations, more often than not, it's going to draw a penalty just to be on the safe side....because that's what the refs have been told to do. if in doubt, throw the flag.

I dont have a problem with the call on RG3, in fact I think the refs need to protect mobile QBs more. Its fairly obvious guys are coached up to lower the boom on "mobile QBs" when they leave the pocket. If they lower the boom on pocket passers who scramble or come anywhere close to their helmet, fines and penalties ensue. There needs to be a balanace. Vick takes more abuse then any QB in the league, and the refs dont baby him the way they do other QBs.

I think it has more to do with the QB being fair game at that point rather than their mobility.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
