Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain
This could be his entrance song
I'm in favour of being able to review personal foul penalties, but if this 1 was reviewed it would stand. The defender made little or no effort to avoid his full weight landing on the QB. The argument over this was 2 years ago and since then every defender has adapted. I'd rather it was penalised like holding, (5 yards & automatic 1st down), but QBs generate the league's finances so they're protected.Stupid rule. I get what you are saying, but that was suspect. They should be able to review that kind of play. He was stipping the ball out of his had and "kind of" landed on him. Dumb.
His left arm absorbed nothing. You can't land right on him. Very easy to not do. But he wanted to get his weight on him.I agree with this. If they are going to start enforcing it the way they are it needs to be reviewable. A review would have shown him brace with his left hand and that he could brace with his right bc he was already holding the ball lol
We can agree to disagree. His right hand, which was the hand needed to help break the fall, was possessing the ball. He put down his left hand which was wrapped all the way around Carrs body. It was a horrible call.I'm in favour of being able to review personal foul penalties, but if this 1 was reviewed it would stand.

I suppose it depends on how the rule is defined. Jones definitely made an attempt to brace his fall. It was not very successful and I think his full weight did come down on Carr. He could not use his right arm to stop himself as it was holding the ball. The league cannot expect a defender to let go of the football in order to brace themselves.
I highly doubt Jones was expecting the ball to pop right into his arms during the sack while they were going to the ground. It was quick thinking by him to even get his left arm down at all.
So, if the rule is "was the full weight applied to the QB with no attempt to brace" then it's not a penalty. If it's simply only the weight that matters then it is.
If you want to see a tackle on a QB that this rule is designed for see Siragusa's hit on Gannon in the playoff that the fat ass proudly said was one of the greatest moments of his career. Dude was absolutely trying to hurt Gannon and succeeded.
Siragusa is a piece of shit.
Nah.That play was some shit, but let's not let it define a man's legacy. Especially now that he's dead. I don't have too many memories of Goose being an overly dirty player besides that one play.
How many men on here when they see a man that is obviously very angry, get right in his face?Yah you gotta kind of pay the F attention what you're doing with players on the field and then the game is over and you run right in front of them not looking or anything? I mean the shove was a little much, but c'mon guy. Pull your head out of your ass and be a little aware of wtf you're doing. Probably saw the cheerleaders bending over and was focused on getting that 'shot'.
Running to your lawyers and the hospital? Really? I mean if he had a broken arm or something fine, and I could see a small claims court for any medical bills or lost salary if he can't work (can't really be a camera guy with a broken leg/arm, etc.) but really guy? Didn't look that bad.
Was…Siragusa is a piece of shit.
