It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Manning is involved thats enough to believe they were cheap callsTitans just got 30 yards of RTP penalties on this drive against the Colts. One of them was for the Tom Brady rule.
They're going to need to look at this again after the season. Clearly define what is OK to hit and when it's OK to hit it.

That wasn't the Tom Brady rule. It was a below-the-knees hit. The Brady rule is that players can't continue to go after the QB after being blocked into the ground, and Vanden Bosch wasn't blocked into the ground. The first RTP was totally legit, and would have been called 5 years ago too. The second one was bogus.
I wonder if fans and the media nationwide are going to go ballistic like they did against the Pats? It would be just as stupid and misguided as it was when they went after the Pats, but at least it would be consistent.

We saw it this afternoon and the Patriots weren't called for it when I believe it was Meriweather and another player fell into Orton's legs. I thought for sure the flag was coming, and was surprised it didn't. I think they will need to define it better - it's certainly too open to interpretation at this point.
Manning is involved thats enough to believe they were cheap calls
Meriweather was blocked to the ground and just rolled into Orton's ankle. Not even close to being a penalty.
Last week someone called Brady the NFL's "Golden Boy" to me thats a description of Manning, or at least it was. Hes always been an untouchable.The sad part is the cheap calls are now forever known by the media as "the Tom Brady rule". I wonder if Mortenson had anything to do with that.
The 'defenseless receiver' rule sucks too. Part of playing defense is intimidating wideouts when they come over the middle. It's not like the Miami guy laid out the Jets WR well after the ball was gone. He was committed to the hit while the ball was still en route, and just as the ball went through his hands he crunched him.
If they wan to try and call it spearing, where was the spearing on Denver's Brian Dawkins when he unloaded his helmet into Welker's back?

Those calls were BS. And I totally agree it's out of hand. I've commented on this before, but it's only a matter of time before a ref calls one of these ticky tack penalties in a playoff game or important game and costs a team it's season.
This rule is going to blow up in the leagues face.
I just hope it's not the Colts when it happens.
