Point to the rule that makes that distinction


the key word is "forcible."

It wasnt forceable. It was incidental. Forceable means it goes beyond making a regular play on the ball, its in the rule that YOU posted.

This is a laughably bad take.

If you dont understand basic definitions. Which you apparently dont.

Helmet to helmet isnt necessarily targeting no matter how much you think it is.

It was targeting but targeting is gay and I am glad they didn’t call it

Refs knew A&M was going to piss down their leg no matter what so don’t suspend a player for the next half

Sure it can. Happens quite often on the field. More so than "forcible" contact.

It wasn’t targeting. Hitting someone in the head after initially hitting them in the chest or side is not targeting.

The defender was literally on the ground not moving from his helmet colliding with the defenseless WR. How is that not forcible?

Watch the video above and tell me the defender's helmet wasn't the first thing to contact directly to the head of the defenseless WR.

Yes.

That doesnt mean its a penalty. I've posted how its called in this very thread.

Head/head isnt necessarily targeting, no matter how much you want it to

Leaving the incidental claim aside, was it forcible?

It wasn’t crown of the helmet, he really isn’t leading with his helmet. The DB is just trying to make a play on the ball

Defenseless WR is a dumb concept in situations like this. He is running up the middle and Reed throws across his body Teeing him.

That doesn't matter.

Targeting is dumb AF. By the rule, that's clearly targeting.

It’s probably called in any other situation

That said, it wasn’t dirty. I am glad the refs let them play.

Not in my opinion. Side of helmet to side of helmet while making a play. No call is the right call.

Its a call you can make early in the game, it would still be controversial. But not at the end of the game.

So you're telling me that a hit, that led with the helmet, of a defenseless receiver (by rule), wasn't forcible, when a dude was literally knocked unconscious, wasnt forcible, in your opinion?
