Al Riveron is such a stooge.

[Joey007]

Anyone else getting sick of him trying to justify these calls every week? I get the vibe he’s never played a down of football in his life. His voice annoys me too.

 

[BradytoMosstoGronk]

I don’t understand it at all. Are you supposed to tackle the QB then peel off and fly away mid air?

And the justification is laughable.

 

[Lavictoire]

I think we got away with one against the Colts.Thats ok, we get screwed on calls too.

 

[A.C Vegas]

what you are supposed to do is as you are taking him down and you know he is going down (it is not that hard to tell) before you hit or as you do roll to the side it is really not that hard

You realize that's physically impossible, correct?

I don’t like that jerk.

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

I've gotten hit harder playing QB in touch football grudge games against manufacturing. Had to wear a mouthpiece.
I'm all for player safety and for protecting QBs from unnecessary injury as NFL football is a QB driven game with all the rules favoring offenses.
But some of this season's RTP calls are ludicrous.
And yes we did escape a possibly deserved RTP call vs the Clots.

Goodell is 100% responsible for all this B.S. He's mutated the game into pansyball. The owners could care less because they think we're suckers.

I know. We’re a bunch of stooges

 

[chasa]

its been 5 weeks, the players know the rules, you can't tackle the qb anymore, just pick them up and spike them like the babies that they are.

 

[Tony2046]

I think that one is on Eli. His pathetically boring ass lulled the stadium and refs into a deep sleep throughout the game.

And the Jags got away with a bunch of potential RTP calls in the loss. It all evens out in the end.

They’re getting inconsistent. They call some of those, and leave others alone. No rhyme or reason to any of it.

Giants are garbage

People will hate this rule til it cost the Patriots a game.

Correction - he KNOWS we're suckers.

People hate the "body weight" RTP call, but are also upset that it wasn't called against the Patriots when they played the Colts. On one hand, I can see wanting the rules to be enforced the same for everyone, but if you hate a rule and want it changed, how mad can you be when it's not called?

 

[captain stone]

Bennett should've had his left arm in the air as if he were trying to knock down the pass, which he should've been trying to do anyway. He then could've finished the tackle exactly as he finished it and he just might not have drawn a flag.

And if one feels that a penalty flag should not have been thrown on that play, then take a look at this:

I believe that we are suckers. I don't think it's a coincidence that owners like Kraft and Jerruh Jones are investing money into fantasy football while the rules are being altered to add more fantasy points to games. It's almost like they planned it that way.
