Oops, Personal Foul on FG was bad call

[TejasTom]

TK,

I agree with QB angle. We've seen times a flag came out when a QBs helmet is touched as lightly as you would a new born's face.

Forcibly hitting the defenseless player’s head or neck area with the helmet, facemask, forearm, or shoulder,

............not the leg. I would suspect that a penalty would not be called unless a leg was used to purposely direct a blow to the head or neck area.

The NFL has put out a video which helps give much greater incite as to the definition and intent of the various new rules. This is a great educational tool for any fan interested in gaining a deeper understanding of penalties called or not called on Sundays. The long snapper situations are covered beginning at 3:40.

Excuse me if I don't cry a river for a bad call that just happened, this ONCE, to go in our favor.

The call was legit. That old ref said so on TV and he is more experienced at screwing up games that anybody.
