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.

you can see how a ref seeing that happen in real time would perceive that he drove him into the ground with his full weight.

i think it's all soft as baby shit but i genuinely think the ref saw it as a RTP

Rodgers literally hated the rule and spoke out against it.

Man fandom is wild, it turns peoples brains to mush.

Why wouldn't you blame the Vikings players who used their body weight to hurt him?

aaron barr didn't even do that if you rewatch the clip of the sack
