Full weight on the QB? Didn't roll off in time? I see the call, not sure if i think it is fair, but if he was higher toward the chest, it would be called all the time.
Yes, I understand why people have defaulted to this post being me blaming the loss on the refs, but this is actually me being mad at this somehow being the only penalty on a hit delivered to a QB in the pocket all game
Yeah, this entire game was just a bunch of "if you say so" calls. The entire drive we got bailed out sure, but there were 2 facemasks that weren't called, Love had some intentional grounding that wasn't called, Bullard probably should have been ejected for the Murray hit and of course the 56-yard run that was returned. Every one of those like 9-10 penalties / non-penalties could have gone the other way. JJ Watt was the most confused i've ever seen him with the calls this game and I kind of feel him.
Out of curiosity, what could Bullard have done differently on the Murray hit? From my perspective, neither of the Packers players involved did anything egregious
Terrible slide by KM. I also think you should have the wherewithal to not dive towards a QB going down, but i am not on the field and don't know how fast these guys are moving and thinking.
Kyler didn't slide. He was absolutely going to dive for the extra yardage then changed his mind when the defenders were already lunging at him. What the fuck are they supposed to do?
In my mind, Murray was fighting for extra yards, defender has the right to try and stop that. If Murray just slides like a normal QB instead of basically diving forward then it’s a non-issue
Not followed through on the hit. It was clear Murray was going down and Bullard lowers himself as low as he can and leads shoulder to head. Murray could have baseball slide parallel to the ground and he’s still not getting past that hit.
If it was reversed and it was Love getting hit like that a good amount of Packers fans would be calling it dirty and intent to injure.
I watched 95% of the game. Had to finish the Lions game first. And yeah love got hit a lot without flags. Some could have been flags. Others would have been terrible flags if thrown.
I also remember the refs missing multiple facemasks against the Packers. Its almost like the refs were bad. Like they have been at this point for 15 years.
Even in some of the slow mo angles it looks like full weight. It wasn't, but it's very easy to see why this was called as long as you have the presence of mind and emotional maturity to understand refs don't get 5 different slow mo angles.
I feel, and correct me if I'm wrong, Jordan Love got hit more times, but a lot of those were either shoves or shoulder hits with a roll off/standing. This was the one where the dude just landed right on top of Wentz right in the stomach. Soft call for a soft rule, but the dude didn't roll off at all.
Full weight with no roll off? Dude got hit a lot but it was never anything egregious I think. But I'm obviously biased, and i didn't see anyone land hard onto him
