    Ngata was flagged for leading with the helmet, not for hitting RGIII above the shoulders.

    I'd love to know how the official standing behind RGIII managed to see it.

    RG3 is going to go the way of Vick if he doesn't learned to slide, he hurt his back, neck and head all in one game.

    There's been plenty of good young running QB's in the NFL.

    However, you don't see a whole lot of good old running QB's.

    If he keeps this up he's going to maintain that status quo.

    Just like old pilots, and bold pilots, but few old bold pilots.

    Idiotic call.

    In fairness they had a call on DeAngelo Hall for "hitting too high" when it looked like he either pushed or bumped our WR in the chest or shoulder area, and not all that hard, and on a pass that wasn't so crazy far away that the DB should have stopped playing. The league is getting stupid with these penalties.

    I thought Ngata played his best game of the year. He looked fast and was causing lots of disruption.

    RG3 isn't going to last long if he keeps running around like that without sliding.
    He was flagged because the helmet popped off after he hit the ground. They called "leading with the helmet," but in the replay you can see his hands out in front and he shoves RG3 over. If the helmet doesn't pop off, the flag might not have come out. Those plays happen so fast the refs have to rely on their impression of the play as much as they do what they see. It's the same in baseball when a veteran pitcher seems to get an extra six inches on the outside of the plate: if the ball looks like it hit the spot the pitcher was aiming at, and the catcher is good and frames it on the corner, the ump calls the strike. He didn't really see the ball: he's calling what he could see and process.

    Agreed 100%. Refs are taught to throw a flag when in doubt. If it's a bang bang play and looks "bad", they will throw that flag 10/10 times.

    I agree.

    RGIII also needs to take some lessons from Donovan McNabb. The Eagles let him sacrafice his body for years before they started getting him better WR's. By then his body was so beat up, he couldn't even be a pocket passer if he tried (and he did try). No reason for RGIII to learn those same lessons the hard way.

    McNabb never really had the accuracy to be a good pocket passer.

    Many would say the same about Joe-lol.

    Great posts everyone.

    RG3's gotta learn to slide--that injury doesn't happen if his leg doesn't go flying up just as the DT-92 Devastator came roaring in on a low-level run.
