What we learned from our loss on Thursday night

OPI on Sanu's touchdown wasn't called

A sneeze on Ryan that resulted in a roughing the passer

Numerous holding penalties on the Falcons which were turned a blind eye to

I may have missed a rule but I think it's still fair game (like PT in San Fran) to hit helmet to helmet on a RB as long as it isn't egregious. I enjoyed seeing us be able to play without Kamara. We showed we can play without doing what we did with JG. The roughing the passer was a joke, but home cooking is to be expected. We got a huge call in our favor last week against Carolina. You have to beat the opponent and the refs. The Patriots do this well.

He didn’t spear him. You can hit a guy and make helmet to helmet contact.

Not if the crown of the helmet is used and the player is deemed defenseless, or unaware of the impending contact. The crown was used and the blow was from the side where Kamara was defenseless, or had no chance of avoiding the direct contact.

If any of you do not believe that Deion Jones didn't plant that head hit on purpose then I don't know what to think.
