Two Horrible Calls (One a non-call)

Cheap shot artist andrew sendejo was fined 53,000 dollars for his intentional, blatant helmet to helmet hit on Davante Adams. 3rd time sendejo has been fined in the last 15 games.

Too bad the officials managed to miss it.

A lot of speculation that the reason Brice didn’t make the play late in the game to break up or drill Thielen was he may have been concerned about getting another big fine. 

He got hit with a 20k fine in preseason already.  Next one is probably double that and it’s not like Brice is making a bunch of money. 

Just put me down as being sick and tired of being butt****ed up the ass-hole. 

Did it decide the game this time? Probably not. It sure changed the momentum though. And caused a lot of expended energy. For no good reason.

That gets old.

3 roughing the passers. Yet not one fine. 

Um, ok NFLFU. 

Your bullshi* is showing.

Clay Matthews said he did not get fined for his latest roughing the passer penalty. So that's three flags and no fines.

My gut feeling is the refs are not happy about this rule, and they are demonstrating the absurdity of it by enforcing it to the letter of the law...which is total garbage because 90% of calls are pure judgment calls. 

All they are doing is pissing off the fans. 

Khalil Mack has 4 sacks, and only one penalty for offside.

Myles Garrett, Von Miller, Cameron Jordan have 4 sacks.

Miller has 2 penalties, one offside, one for neutral zone infraction.

Myles Garrett has 3, offside, neutral zone and roughing the passer.

Cameron Jordan has 3, 2 offside, 1 unsportsmanlike conduct.

So out of 16 sacks, there's only 1 roughing the passer call?

I’m going to need multiple links CHONGO.

Has every roughing call in the past resulted in a fine?  Or just a penalty?

I am one of those fans.

I wonder why that is? Could it be, because Clay tackled a player with the BALL in his hands?!!?

NFL!

Quite the contrast to the Rams/Vikes game last night.
Only 6 accepted penalties, no RTP or PFs, and an unsportsmanlike conduct was the most egregious error in the game...

I know the NFL claims that after the conference call that there will be no change to the way the body weight thing is called this year. But just watch, it will change. Just like lowering the helmet wasn't going to change after week 1 of the preseason and yet somehow it did change. They are going to claim they were correct but silently admit they were wrong.

By the way, the rule on body weight isn't new. It's been around for years. It's not the "Aaron Rodgers" rule but it is being enforced differently this year, at least for the first three weeks.

That UC penalty was a no-brainer boneheaded play and it took one of their very best DBs out. And very next play? Long TD, baby! Good coaching, Zimmer!

Interesting that through the first 3 weeks most of the RTP calls were by only a few Refs as the chart below from ESPN indicates. Seems not all were on the same page on how to correctly call it.
