Did you see when Steph Curry went way high on Trevor Ariza, came down and landed on his neck in the playoffs? His mother in the stands kept saying Steph, you're OK, get up, you're OK, as he was lying there. Like she refused to believe he was hurt bad. Scared the shit out of me.mauidano said:

I think you're misunderstanding the targeting rule; it's primarily about intent. It is true that a player dropping his head is relevant, but not determinative. Having watched the replay closely, I stand by targeting (were the college rule in place) would have been a pretty reasonable call there given the angle Heath took.

So happy to see Lockette regain conciousness. Special teams NEVER get the respect they deserve. Many at league minimum $ and go full kamikaze 20x / game. These guys are, to a degree, just holding on to their career. Most fungible of the roster, at least.
Yes, although that's quite a gamble on the 12 man call unless they are truly ready to snap and kick it.Lose Remerswaal said:
It meets just one of the criteria. Yes, he launched up but it wasn't a blind side hit, he didn't lead with his head and he didn't hit him above the neck. The only reason he made contact with his head - with his shoulder, mind you - was because Lockett ducked his head. It may have been called targeting on the field but a replay would have reversed it.PedroKsBambino said:
They blew the play dead. There was nothing they could do at that point. That's why it was such a massive fuck up. They essentially granted Seattle a second straight time out - for which they never charged them.Lose Remerswaal said:
A well coached team would be ready to do that when they see the other team making that mistake.Lose Remerswaal said:

yes they do, I have been happy with NBC live extra for both soccer and Sunday night football this year. It seem much faster than last year, especially through the ap.
Also the Pats superiority is un-stowable. It's part of their superiority.
Edit: a lack of grammatical superiority.

Those are not the criteria, though...that is why I linked what I did. I thought it seemed clear on replay that Heath launched himself high. One can debate whether he led with crown of helmet, I'll give you that---but the other criteria for the rule either were obviously met or were very close ( crouching and hitting with an upward thrust; launching into a player to hit them in the head; contact above the shoulders on a defenseless player; leading with the crown of the helmet)
You seem to be applying the pro rule, which I agree doesn't make it a violation.
Absolutely. That screw job was THE difference in that super bowl IMO. That was awful.1918stabbedbyfoulke said:
If Bowles is capable of a take the paint off the walls post game tirade, he should be getting it ready.
I thought so too but I thought subsequent analysis showed the refs mostly got those pro steelers calls right. Am I misremembering?

You are misremembering. The referee even apologized for those calls years later.
They never snapped the ball.Bosoxen said:
Players were running around on the Seattle side and whistles were blowing but the ball never moved.
Any update on Brandon Marshall?
Edit: besides that he's back in and just caught a ball, I mean, I guess.

The setup was 'if it were college that would be a flag' originally. But yes---kind of an academic point anyway.
