The Roughing the QB penalty on Hicks

Ok I agree that his suplex throw of Luck was a penalty. But if the refs are REALLY interested in protecting the QB, they should have called "in the grasp" when Jordan had him wrapped up. That would have immediately stopped the play. I guess even the refs are still in preseason form

Like on Lewis's non-interception? And Galette was getting turned all nite- he was screaming for a holding call

I always thought they whistled the play dead when the ball carriers forward motion was stopped.

If he didn't body slam him no flag

Cant do that to a qb

Ingram was slammed pretty good on a nice run

Refs are in preseason too but if they continue to be so not picky networks are going to be pissed when games are going into 4 hours.

The refs suck and make me think that their mother has a bet on the game or something.

Ya can't slam a QB like that. It'll get flagged every time.

And why couldn't Junior bring Luck down?

It was cam Jordan that couldn't bring luck down, was kind of disappointed seeing that to be honest, luck made it seem like Jordan wasn't even there

Then you need to be disappointed at Hicks as well, since he could not bring him down either without the illegal suplex. Again, Andrew Luck is a big boy.

I think hicks could have got him down, he just went massively over the top to do so
While it was unnecessary and needs to be cleaned up, being aggressive is his style of play, he just needs to be smarter doing so
