lol i was going to make the same comment regarding the spread when we were up 15 and all the bad calls came in

See, the problem that the NFL has created is that now every good, square hit on a receiver is in theory a penalty, mostly because receivers are taught to "hunch down" and lower their heads as they bring the ball into their bodies. No matter how good your form is as a tackler, when receivers are lowering their heads into you, you're going to contact them. It doesn't mean you're leaving your feet, leading with the helmet, or doing anything like that.
It literally happens every time in that situation--go back and look at Ray's hit on Keller from 2010 that was cited as an "ideal tackle" by the league. Ray CONTACTED Keller's helmet on the play, but it wasn't called because at that time the NFL was more sensible in how they applied the rule. Nowadays, if I were an NFL receiver I would just lower the side of my head into the defender every play for a free 15 yards, at virtually no risk to myself.
also to add that helmets touch an almost every tackle above the waist
Re: Mike Carey (w Hochuili Bonus) to Ref Our Game
Someone (not in uniform) said something to Pollard after the play and he turned and walked onto the Colts sideline.
First TO was wrong.
I hate the defenseless receiver calls - but that's what they want, redefining how safety position is played.

yanda recovered the ball...
Re: Mike Carey (w Hochuili Bonus) to Ref Our Game
The first fumble was actually recovered by Yanda.
The refs saw a Colts player fall on it, get both hands on it, but the ball squirted out of his hands before he could take possession of the ball.
That was a bad call.
The Boldin PI, he did push the CB with his left forearm to create a little space. It wasn't a huge push-off, but it was a push-off.

Re: Mike Carey (w Hochuili Bonus) to Ref Our Game
Alot of BS and ticky tack calls. BUT what do you expect, it's Carey. Why they said the LOWEST ranked officiating crew does this weekend, and than on up. He was the worst crewthey could come up with, imagine that.
