Yeah that was NO FCKING HORSE COLLAR!

This game is going to get ugly with Zappe in...

Yeah, feel bad for him....he's just not ready yet.

 

[Jim Beankie]

Interesting info about Zappe having trouble getting snaps right under center (not shotgun).

C'mon Pats with the frickin' penalties!!! That's a horsecollar?!?

 

[Salsalife]

Review the call in NY!

 

[BradytoMosstoGronk]

Is horsecollar just pulling somewhere near the back collar now?

 

[thecore762]

How is that horse collar??? He grabbed his shirt on the back.

 

[Rob0729]

Looks to be a bad call. He did grab the pads, but it wasn‘t near the neck. I thought it was only for tackles where they grabbed the inside of the pads around the neckline.

 

[Ross12]

every week the refs are ass.. perfectly good tackle

Sometimes I wonder if they're just trying to get players to stop tackling at all. Lol

 

[Chevy]

Dude what in the world. Not even remotely a horse collar. What was the ref even looking at?

Agree - I thought horse-collar required going inside the neck opening or under the pads.

 

[Since1960]

15 yard penalty for a jersey tackle?!

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Id have to take another look but it looked very borderline live. I had sighed initially thinking he got away with it but they called it

 

[Foxypats]

For the last several years we have gotten crappy call against, why is anyone surprised ???

 

[Ollie]

No way Hoyer is allowed back after the Tua situation. Not sure we can get more than like 13 with Zappe.

if he is checked out and is fine then he should be allowed back. They might just be being cautious after Tua

 

[TomPatriot]

not a penalty..pulled him down by the jersey

In Green Bay it is.

Gotta get inside the "Collar" for it to be a "Horse Collar" tackle.

 

[Nunchucks]

That was a horse caller

Absolutely not, the NFL takes head injuries very seriously and they do not want another Tua situation.

 

[Triumph]

Horse collar???

NO

 

[Love The Drake]

Horse collar rules changed.

 

[stcjones]

Yeah, feel bad for him....he's just not ready yet.

Well maybe if he doesn’t have to start at the 5 yard line at Lambeau!? ). He will struggle for sure but hopefully next series he gets better field position!
