Message: [QUOTE="HRE Otto IV, post: 5304064, member: 5685"] I do not think it was targeting. I was actual upset they even looked at it in the first place. This ref seemed to side with the call on the field on the replays, even though the video showed otherwise. So the non targeting call was consistent with that. The call isn't black and white. Any call is an interpretation of a written rule. H2H alone is not targeting. This is football. It would be a complete farce to penalize a team for making a tackle. Go to fair catches on any pass where a defender is not in man coverage. No chance at YAC. The only SME was the actual ref who made the decision. Sorry but a guy like McAuley has never had to make the call one way or the other on the field. So why does the ref have to justify his call but these talking heads can just say it is obvious targeting with no explanation at all? Shouldn't the onus be on the talking heads? [/QUOTE]
