It’s targeting I guess but it shouldn’t be. If he leads with the crown I get it, but that what the are taught to do.

If thats targeting then we need flags or 2 hand touch.

You act like this is the first you have seen of this. It's been called targeting 70% of the time for at least the last 5 years in hits exactly like this. It's a joke but that's just how it is now.

He led with the shoulder, kept his feet on the ground during the hit, and the runner lowered his head

bullshite call

He turned his whole body and led with the shoulder. Only hit in the vicinity of the head because of what the receiver did.

They have to take into account that the ball carrier is being pulled down. It’s ridiculous to assume a defensive player can be going for a legal hit, the ball carrier called, trips, gets tackled and it’s the defensive players fault.

I feel for people who grew up with this attitude and just accept it because they never knew different.

It’s 100% targeting by the definition.

It’s a terrible rule and I really wish they would get rid of this rule.

The hit by #15 was the exact same hit, it’s just that the WR didn’t get tackled just before the contact.

Stupid rule.

I feel like I've said this about a player on my team 5 times in the last 3 years. It's bullshite but that is how they seem to call it now more times then not, even after reviewing it..so I'm assuming that is how they want them to call it going by the rule they have made?

Forcible contact to head or neck.

Launching doesn't mean you necessarily leave your feet.

Refs determined OM player was defenseless

Oh yeah, I don’t believe either deserved a penalty

Just a straight retarded rule that is called with absolutely zero consistency
