NFL Brutal Hits of the 2023 Season Week 12 

Two different humans watching two completely different situations. Anyone expecting consistency and perfection across the board is delusional.

The difference is in the rules for a defenseless player. Any player in one of the specific defenseless positions is protected from forcible contact to the head or neck area. Defenseless players include a quarterback in the pocket, a quarterback in the process of throwing the ball, a receiver receiving the pass, a returner catching a kick, a kicker throughout the entire game, as well as a player who is wrapped up. The reasoning behind this is that those players are not able to brace for impact as well. In the first play referenced, the returner had already caught the ball, turned to go upfield, and braced for impact. A close line can be a legal tackle in many instances, including this one. The returner dropped his body and ended up catching the defender's arm higher up.

Someone who works for the NFL would definitely say this@@MarxAviano

i don't think they're arguing about a no-call, i think they're arguing that the fact a closeline is legal is ridiculous, especially when defenders barely tackling a QB is almost illegal at this point. @@billrobelen4948

Dude he like trucked the qb with his head.

That’s not a flag at all

@@TedCruz-ng6tl yeah today's nfl is soft af back in my day you could pop a punt returner's head clean off and his teammates would have to gather his bits and put em in the trash and if they took too long they'd get called for a delay of game. back then punt returners were a dime a dozen. before a game a team would just head down to the local bus station and if they saw a homeless man being shipped in from another state they'd say 'hey are you a sex criminal' and you know he'd always say yes and they'd hand him a pair of cleats and a jersey and if he didn't die on the field he'd win his freedom and a fat paycheck but you know those cheapskate owners were down on the sidelines after the game, one hand to shake the returners, the other behind their backs holding a syringe full of strychnine.

@@JoabyJoJo back in your day the NFL didn't have a concussion lawsuit payment that is UNCAPPED and having to pay yearly. Lemme guess your not smart enough to see that they are required by law to address that.

Same for both the horse collars this week too.

Refs once again 🗑️

Sure did. I was confused also

Yeah they sure did

Was there a penalty called after the play?

@@timolson515 no sir

@@johnroyer6780 and they just didn’t ever talk about how it was a literal clothesline from the 70s?

Don't worry they made up for it with the bullshit Baron Browning penalty

the inconsistency is one of the worst parts of it

Stop Meat Riding… 10-1

@@kingbussie1 oh nOoOoO sOmeOnE cAlLeD oUt tHe eAgLeS, NoW I gOtTa dEfEnD tHeM, Bro, they’re a good team but they have been getting away with so much you gotta admit it

​@@kingbussie1grow up.

There was no penalty for grabbing the front of the jersey the NFL even spoke about it that it is not a horse collar much to eh disappointment of the guys in the booth, which is WHY they are in a booth not a ref or coach

​@richd9646 he grabbed the front and back. Both should have been called.

Unfortunately he probably has a concussion now because he missed yesterday's practice. It's also unfortunate how there are some idiots out there who are defending the refs with not calling a penalty on it because a no-windup clothesline tackle is "legal". So what? It was still an ugly blow to the head with an even harder blow on the ground. There have been countless legal tackles that were penalized and even got people fined to an extent yet there's stupid dangerous shit like that clothesline that the refs turn a blind eye to. It's insane.

Yea but that’s a hard thing to officiate just cuz a guy sticks out his arm to tackle like they’re trained to do. It’s not targeting just unlucky

@@curt4736 I wasn't expecting a targetting penalty, but that was clear-cut unnessesary roughness.

@@Scott_Dunbar_II meh it’s part of the sport. They’re making millions of dollars while we just make observations

IKR! I agree as well. Refs on their sleeping pills this week 🗑️

Thats irrelevant. You're not allowed to start "a mix". He got what he deserved.

the context is irrelevant, the rule is you can't make contact with a ref

To call what Allen did intentional grounding on top it was too much, life as Bills fan 😔

They are called "horse collar" tackles.bud.

​@reneewilliams5777 and the illegal hit on diggs after the touchdown. Refs did not want the eagles to lose and I've only seen a few plays bruh

@@metal100k Yeah that game was obvious.

@@metal100k Morrow clearly hit diggs as Allen is running into the endzone. Diggs also just stepped into Morrow's way. Idk what to tell you man, that wasn't illegal at all What WAS illegal is Bills #97's entire night. Assaulting an Eagles fan lmaooooooo

“Underwhelming” is an understatement bro, I have never been more disappointed in the saints than this current season smh !

@@julius.shambles7 yeah even in the 7-9 days I still enjoyed sundays when the saints play, this season I’ve only watched 3 full games cuz it’s just that boring and infuriating to watch

I miss Winston

@@RESTINPEACE12345678 yeah idk why we still got carr out here every week. We don’t even average a td per game rn. Something’s gotta change or we will keep losing

It's bad reffing at it's finest.

It's been all bad this year. Every game has a few no calls and a few bad calls. These videos weekly from Budleeweiser pretty much proves that. The primetime games every week are bad too. We need some better referees.

Clearly did not grab the back of the shoulder pads, which is the rule apparently no one understands

I totally agree!

Allen lost all sympathy with the flop he took to draw RTP near the end of the game

I'll give you we have had good luck with the refs but I'm just saying that Dallas Game we had was by no means us winning by the refs.

10-1

@@Josh-kz9mi You're God damn right.

So I felt that in the first half, they did make some good calls in the 2nd half against the eagles. Whether or not it was intentional, the bias was palpable

@@Mrevo599 that throw down/horse collar right in front of the referee or stef Diggs getting held all over on that possible touchdown

@@ydevi14 block in the back on the punt in the 2nd half. It's just so bad.

The Eagles are 5-0 with that crew! It's total bullshit.

10-1

​@@Josh-kz9miit helps when you away with All sorts of penalties, non catches being called catches, holding all over the place. Honest Eagles fans admit it. The guys on the Ringers Philly special podcast have mentioned it. Didn't realize how bad it was til my team played you. Yes you're a great team, you don't need the help from the refs but you definitely get it !

No, that look is him knowing he's fucked, Bears def getting rid of him in the off-season.

He stood there like a deer in headlights. Unbelievable.

They're supposed to be illegal! We just have shitty refs that get worse every year ! They literally ruin the game

Running a fake punt deep in your own territory for the second time this season was dumb.

Contact is permitted with receivers within the first 5 yards of the line of scrimmage. Completely legal, it’s in the rule book.

@@Mist3rFromp Contact, not a fucking shoulder tackle.

@@jacksonchien1673 define contact
