HOW is it the defender's responsibility to know that the receivers is going to fall a certain way, where he would have NO CHANCE to avoid that contact? If that is a foul, then there is no such thing as a legal tackle, and this idiotic league is dead.

I agree entirely! I thought exactly the same thing when SF was called earlier! What exactly is a defender to do? I get player protection, but reality has to come into it somewhere!!
