I have yet to agree with any one of those calls that seem to have been happening at least once every week this season. Last week I swear the ref had the flag out and was in the act of throwing it before any contact was even made. I applaud the aggressive play and hope those hankies don't put a stop to it.
Agreed 100%. Last week, or the week before, I remember a ref grabbing his flag before the QB hit the ground and threw it as fast and hard as he could.

I think it was the 2-handed push on Will Smith.

Goddell has to do something. I know the players demanded a safer NFL but I think the pedulum has swung way too far in the other direction.

College football is a more manly game than the NFL. I never thought I'd see that day.

That Smith penalty is a perfect example of why penalties should be reviewable. at first glance Smith DOES lower his head, but doesn't lead with it

The calls we get seem to not be reviewable.....it kind of makes me wonder.
