Cry me a river on your horse collar, you guys should have been flagged on the "roughing the kicker" since the ball never touched the ground.

It's like any other penalty in any other league, there only watching certain players. Roy Williams ( Dallas Cowboys Safety ) had the rule basically built just because of his very aggressive tackling, he's basically the only person that gets flagged for it. Same thing with hitting wide recievers when they jump up for a pass, only the top 5 or so defenders will get flagged for that. Same thing when a QB gets hit late, if he's a rookie or a no-named QB then it will have to be pretty bad to get flagged, while on the other hand you can't even touch a QB like Brett Favre or Peyton Manning or they'll eject the player, anybody watch Panthers vs. Tampa Bay, they hit Chris Simms late on every single play, I thought they were gonna kill him.  Heck same thing happens in basketball, look at players like Shaq, if you even come close to touching him or a player like Kobe Bryant they call a foul, heck they give Shaq 2 extra steps while in the paint, he travels everytime he gets the ball and nobody calls it. Dewayne Wade gets every call in the world in his favor just because the NBA is trying to make him a " Mike Jordan type". They even admitted it lol Look at the Dallas Mavericks vs. Miami Heat game's last year, the Heat averaged about 7 fouls a game while the Mavericks had around 40 or so per game, that's just rediculous and just another way that a league protects its big money players.... What they need to do is get rid of all the late hit and rouching the passer penalty's in the NFL, those protected players are just another player, they have shoulder pads and a helmet, if you don't wanna get hit, take a knee or get the F off the field, I don't see anyone making a roughing the lineman rule when a QB throws a interception and one of the linebackers just absolutely blasts one of the lineman trying to make a tackle, might as well give the QB a flag and he's down whenever someone pulls it out. The way the league is going in 5 years they will just be playing flag football. The main reason I played and watch the game is for the bonecrunching hits. kinda like nascar, if they took the big wrecks out of it nobody would watch it

Unlike all the other teams in the league, our punter and kicker both have balls and will hit you hard.


Now, only if our coach, owner and QB had balls...  And brains... And talent...

It bounced off the ground, how can you say it never touched?

Anyways the punter acted like he was going to throw it before he pulled it back down to punt it away, perfectly legal..

Watch any replay, the ball never hit the ground, never even came close. The announcers even said that after watching the review.

And he never tried to throw it, he never even had the ball in only one hand. What is he going to shovel pass it 30 yards?

I dunno, my announcers never mentioned anything about neither play, they even thought that we might be penalized on the punt, but agreed with the referees.

Our announcers are un-biased, and tend to favor the truth, not the team.

If I had a source to re-watch it I would, got a link?

I may be totally wrong, pulling from memory.

:aok

I never watched the game and saw the play on ESPN News, Viper is correct.

Not to bite stinky bait, but...when I read this, I am reminded of the bruises up and down my son's arms and legs from this past football season (tackle).  3 kids were put on stretcher boards and carried off the field in various games, one is still recovering in a wheel chair.  au contraire, only the kids with big hearts and guts play Amercian football.  Most if not all are "alpha males".  Never met a "whimp" football kid yet in my life, even when I was a child.  They were always the "toughest" of the bunch.
