Dolphins had a clean sack on Mac Jones. Ball was still in his hands. Clean tackle.

15 yard penalty on Miami that directly lead to a bullshite Patriots TD.

Its by the book a penalty. You can't just hit a quarterback low, even in the course of a normal football play or move. You can esssentially only legally touch them between the shoulder pads and waist.

You haven’t been able to go low on a QB in the pocket since Brady’s knee was blown out.

You know damn well Cam Newton wouldn’t have gotten that call.

I think it’s because he went for the knees. I agree it’s harsh but I’ve seen much more egregious calls.

But he actually didn’t go for the knee. I’m not sure what y’all want Roberts to do there.

Hard to get a call while sitting at home

The rule sucks but it’s sucked for over a decade now.

Intent doesn't matter here.

He connected at the knee, so it's a penalty.


The RP on Winston was more questionable. Only way I can see that being called is if the defender's feet left the ground before the hit. But that's incredibly iffy.

Yeah really felt like we shoulda had it but can’t win with fumbles and field goals, props to the yall for stepping up in the redzone. Should be a fun AFC East/ wildcard race this year

You may not like the rule but that's a textbook penalty by rule.

The roughing the passer on the Green Bay dude who sacked Jameis Winston was infinitely worse than this one.

Of course he wouldn't have got the call. He'd have to be on a NFL roster first.

The one in the Saints game was much worse.

Real bad.

Not sure how people are supposed to tackle.

AS a Saints fan, the only way I can see that being a penalty is if his feet left the ground before contact and they determined he "launched".


But I really want to see the league statement on that call.

Can't go below the waist on a QB. Simple as that.

Recognize he can't make legal contact with the quarterback on that play, and attempt to avoid it.
