Is a brain worth that? It would seem it is...because that's the way the rule is.

Society has voted. Educated people have weighed in and determine in that particular case the risk merits the attention. I have no doubt in my mind that the way Bills mentality is, if that rule were not in place he would have taken his head off. Is that what we want? Ask Jim McMahan about brain injuries. Ask anyone with a brain injury about brain injuries.

No, you can't completely eliminate it. But is a life worth a minute or two in a game? And if it's not...why do we play the game?

Sweet! It's a good thing that dude is a lousy boxer.

9/15/14 7:27pm

It's good thing it wasn't actually a punch.

No issue whatsoever with the Bills play. That's the way the rule...

BarraCouga

9/15/14 7:33pm

It wasn't even close to targeting. Never should have been called. It was a

There was helmet to helmet contact and Bills crushed him.

BarraCouga

9/15/14 7:50pm

I'm pretty sure the replay showed bills hit him with his shoulder

docrick

9/15/14 7:52pm

You're missing my point. Yes. It was absolutely a legal hit.

BarraCouga

9/15/14 8:15pm

You're missing the point. It was clear from a mile away that

byubyu

9/15/14 8:19pm

What harm occurred on that play?

BarraCouga

9/15/14 8:24pm

Stopped the game, probably made Bills less aggressive

It's football not tiddlywinks

docrick

9/15/14 8:50pm

If it saves one life, is it worth it?

BarraCouga

9/15/14 8:52pm

That's the wrong question

docrick

9/15/14 8:57pm

Logical fallacy. Bifurcation

BarraCouga

9/15/14 9:11pm

Why?

docrick

9/15/14 9:14pm

Perhaps it doesn't need to be all or nothing.

BarraCouga

9/15/14 9:17pm

So we agree football should be played

docrick

9/15/14 9:20pm

And if football is to be played? Should they follow the rules?

BarraCouga

9/15/14 9:27pm

Should be played by the rules for sure

docrick

9/15/14 9:33pm

You really, really should read the rule...then post.

BarraCouga

9/15/14 9:42pm

Here's the rule

docrick

9/15/14 9:59pm

Thanks. You proved they got it right.

BarraCouga

9/15/14 10:06pm

Whatever

docrick

9/15/14 8:20pm

It was the only play in the game that was reviewed.

BarraCouga

9/15/14 8:28pm

Stopped defensive momentum

docrick

9/15/14 8:33pm

There wasn't. And the ref with the best view was the only one who didn't throw

byubyu

9/15/14 8:14pm

Watch the replay. There was helmet to helmet contact.

AFcoug7

9/15/14 8:21pm

There is helmet to helmet contact all game long

docrick

9/15/14 8:24pm

Disagree

docrick

9/15/14 7:51pm

I don't think the replay shows any helmet contact whatsoever (all pads)--but

Mantis Mutu

9/15/14 8:04pm

If you stop a game every time a hard pad popping hit occurs

docrick

9/15/14 8:14pm

There's not too many high, hard impacts like that one per game, though.

Mantis Mutu

9/15/14 8:20pm

The number of hits like that per game is irrelevant

docrick

9/15/14 8:22pm

AAC refs, man. Not looking forward to seeing them again in the UCF game.

Nick Papagiorgio

9/15/14 7:33pm

Don't we bring the Big12 refs?

darkcoug

9/15/14 7:45pm

We didn't at the UCONN game. I doubt we will for UCF.

Nick Papagiorgio

9/15/14 8:22pm

Best news of the week. So glad to be wrong.

cougarick

9/15/14 7:31pm

Does this mean the ref who called it gets suspended?

StantonMac

9/15/14 7:39pm

No, ref who called it probably called it as they saw it. It was just wrong...

9/15/14 7:44pm

Not good enough

docrick

9/15/14 7:46pm

The ref needs discipline meted out to him

docrick

9/15/14 7:44pm

The ref and Tejan for 5 minutes in the Octagon

Mathlete

9/15/14 8:13pm

Great! Can we replay the 2nd half with Koroma in the game?

NewMexiCoug

9/15/14 7:54pm

Don't understand why this could not have been figured out and rescinded during

LV Mike

9/15/14 11:48pm

No rule allowing review of most PFs, only targetting.

9/16/14 1:04am

Because it wasn't a punch!
