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!!

Exactly! At some point, you have to get a grip on reality and stop asking human beings to play a violent sport at 100 MPH, while simultaneously being able to be SUPER careful not to make ANY kind of contact to the head, regardless of how fast he play is unfolding, and how the offensive player is twisting in the air.

This is unwatchable.

Its not an accident. The league very clearly wants the west coast and that market in the mix. This was just another example of the league controlling the outcome. We were robbed. Again. Roger has ruined the NFL.
