Quit checking me out.
What a bunch of bullshit.
That right there is why the targeting penalty does not make sense. You can tell the refs don't even agree with the rule. He had "this is ridiculous" in his voice when he said "After the review..."
There has been twice the number of targeting penalties so far this season, than all of last year. They are coming down heavily on it. Like it or not, this is the new normal.Refs got it out for FSU it seems.
Don't have to complete passes out of it for it to have some impact on the defense. If it makes them stay home on outside quick passes it impacts other plays.

More emphasis this year on 'defenseless players'. There have been a lot of these against QB's so far.that wasn't targeting that was hands or arms to the face.. but how is that targeting?

You can't go to the head against QB's anymore. Not incidental, not after the play, not ever. I don't agree with it, but that's the way they are calling it now. The FSU QB was not hit to the head, he was driven to the ground.Ok, the FSU QB got creamed while throwing the ball - no foul even as the defender grinds him further while on the ground.
Then, the other guy gets an inadvertant hand to the face because he was tryign to block the ball, and that's targeting.
Game is fixed.

Just put skirts on QB's already and be done with it.
That is the biggest bunch of horeshit ive ever seenHand, arms, forearms, shoulders hit above the shoulders is targeting resulting in ejection. By rule, it was a good call. The rule is dumb though.
He was in the act of throwing it while hit. If he tucks it while faking it I doubt that is called.This one wasn't even a QB, though. If you don't jump at him, he might tuck it and run it for a first down. That rule should be severely limited outside the pocket.
