This League's A Joke

[hoosierbengal]

I have watched other games over the last few years and have always disliked this call. Especially when it’s in a one on one situation like this play was. That is just my opinion. If you are gonna allow the offensive player to lower his head (which they should) then the defender has to be able to do the same. Hell if his shoulder pad hits the ball carriers helmet they can flag that as well. If I am playing defense I don’t want a running backs helmet right to the gut or groin if I can avoid it. Just doesn’t make sense. I don’t think this call cost us the game but it did cost us one last “chance” with the ball. However nobody knows if we would have scored.
