1) they have to look at that , if its a penalty for the defender it should be for the offense . i think what needs to be looked at is if the targeting if you will is intentional . but ref's cant figure out inadvertent when some are pretty easy to see
2) i have no damn clue . that hit last night looked clean and some during preseason looked clean
There are going to be howls across the NFL nation as these call are made. Some folks will show anger, others disgust. The question in my mind is... how long will the fervent loyalist tolerate it? We will see!!
I predict that as long as it goes in favor of some, they will be OK with it, those that it hurts will hate the calls, in the end nobody is going to like them as eventually, those calls will adversely effect every team.
