Why I'm falling out of love with the NFL (slightly)

It seems as thought the refs aren't allowed to trust their eyes anymore - if it's close, CALL IT.

In an already violent game, I'm all for safety but it's becoming ridiculous.

And as I watch Brandon Jacobs taunt our entire defense in the endzone (without a flag...)

Load of bull...

Agreed! But IMHO after seeing the hit on Jimmy I really didn't see that it was illegal either. Brutal yes but unless I missed something it looked clean to me. The only reason I wanted a flag was because we got a BS call against us for half the hit that was earlier. Don't get me wrong, the hit was horrible to watch and I was really worried Jimbo wasn't going to get up or was really hurt, but I actually thought the hit was clean. In just getting tired if the rules now. It's getting out of hand.

I agree - To me, it looked like he hit with his shoulder first. IN FACT - I don't thik there were any bad hits in the game. Hard - Brutal - OUCH hits BUT except for Porter out of bounds NONE of those should have been called.
