Message: [QUOTE="Melancer46, post: 4140007, member: 1674"] I don’t think we should have to see if the ball had touched the ground a split second earlier to determine if it warrants a real penalty. If a WR drops a pass and then gets hit helmet to helmet it should not be a turnover on downs IMO. I can’t complain too much because there are so many penalties that are stupidly slanted towards the offense but for a league that has made it a priority to remove hits like that from the game, it’s a bit silly that they’ve written the rule in a way that DBs can try to injure a player as long as it’s 4th down and you get lucky with your timing (not that Weddle was trying to hurt him there but it leaves the door open for it in the future). Edit: having said all that, it’s probably not even in my top 5 of bad NFL rules lol [/QUOTE]
