If you want to protect players from brain damage you are going to have to do better than this single rule

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

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

docrick

9/15/14 8:28pm

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

BarraCouga

9/15/14 8:42pm

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...

BYU-NorthIdaho

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.

BYU-NorthIdaho

9/16/14 1:04am

Because it wasn't a punch!
