Tom [Giants fan] Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Personal foul, tackling the Quarterback with his full body weight. What??????????? Did anyone else hear the ref say that? When he called it, I started laughing hysterically. Is this what the NFL has come down to? That call gave the Cowboys their one offensive TD. Now, don't get me wrong. I'm not complaining really because it gave the Cowboys a TD. I just think it is ridiculous that a personal foul is called for that reason. It wasn't a late hit, a hit to the helmet, or a spear. It was a personal foul because "he tackled the QB with his full body weight." That is the exact quote from the ref. Does anyone else think that that is a bit overboard?

SonnyRules Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Might as well be touch football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No_Pressure Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Pretty soon quarterbacks will play the game in some sort of hard plastic bubble so nobody can touch them. They should let the players play the game, I'm not a fan of dirty hits but making a form tackle is far from a dirty hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryGreenMonk Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I thought it was ridiculous. I mean I couldn't root for the pukes just out of spite, so was just hoping they beat the heck out of each other. So i was somewhat neutral watching the game. BUT.. if i had to guess it was BS call that was a make-up call for the non-pass interference call that the Giants got away with in the end zone.

dsciambi Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 There were some bad calls against the Girls too. This game had some bad calls and some phantom calls. I also watched the Titans vs Packers game which was a VERY well officiated game (one of the first I've seen this year). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inquisitor Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Absolutely pathetic, the officiating has been nothing short of horrendous this season. And these personal foul penalties have really stood out the most, the NFL needs to do something this offseason, because its becoming way too frequent, and frustrating to watch. Last week it was Kenny Phillips hit on a "defenseless receiver" that was bobbling the balls on his fingertips. If they want to make it flag football then do it and be done with it, otherwise let these guys play, and stop altering the outcome of games with awful calls.

Santana_Fan Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 They just hated to see their beloved Cowboys get their ***** kicked so terribly. I thought it was a perfect tackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingfish50 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 They keep it up with these ridiculous rules that they institute every year and they are going to see the fan base shrink to Major League Baseball levels. It's bad enough with the salary cap crap and parity, now they want to penalize you for making a clean tackle that they teach you in Pop Warner Football :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjinhan Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 ;5767067']Personal foul' date=' tackling the Quarterback with his full body weight...... Does anyone else think that that is a bit overboard?[/quote'] Yeah I think Aikman summed it up best when he said something like "it was a tackle in perfect form... unless they start teaching the kids something else from Pop Warner and up.." NFL really needs to watch itself... I wonder if the Ref would have thrown the flag if Bollinger still had the ball in his hands... cause by Refs "reasons" for calling the penalty would be still valid since Tuck tackled the QB with his full body weight...

zoony Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 That was an attrocious call. I laughed out loud when I saw it- the league needs to do better, much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chachie Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 That play was the clearest evidence one needs to see that refs do protect teams. The Cowboys were down to Bollinger and the zebras literally made up a new penalty to warn NY against bullrushing him. Flat out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OWUeagleMD Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Trent Cole had a call against him last week that made me think "it's hard to consider this football if THAT is illegal." The economics of the game suggest that this isn't a trend, but a permanent change. Quite a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsGuy Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 it was a text book tackle, shoulder in the wait, wrapped him upit wasn't a body slam Exactly. Bollinger left his feet on his own by jumping in the air (apparently he needs to so he can see over the line ). That's when Tuck hit him and they both fell to the ground. It isn't like Tuck used his helmet or pile-drived him into the dirt. It was a really ticky-tack call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barens2 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Awful call, but there was a defensive holding call on Dallas that gave our offense a first down...I don't know which Dallas defender, but he barely grabbed Steve Smith on a big 3rd down... Very happy with the overall results, but it all usually evens out in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
