The old "hit them so hard you separate the ball from the WR" isn't legal anymore. There is no way a defender can "blow-up" a WR, until they become a runner, so players have to stop ***** doing it or they will get penalized and fined. It does not have to involve the helmet/head of either player in anyway.

So how hard are you allowed to hit them? I dont understand. Why did the Bengals not get this same call earlier? Did he hit Boyd softer? Who measures how hard you hit someone?

Makes me mad we won those games at the start of the season.


Could’ve tanked and got a great player. Now we’re gonna be stuck with another bum ass 12-17 pick that won’t play for 4 years and Be off the team

Marvin’s ability to barely win meaningless games is only rivaled by his great inability to win any game that haa even a shred of importance

When a WR is in the "defenseless" designation, it is called unnecessary contact, which means it's in the way the DB hits the "defenseless" player, not with a certain part of the body to a certain part of the body. Basically the NFL is saying Williams does not have to come flying in with full force to break up that pass or tackle Sanders.

A defenseless receiver penalty has to include contact with the head or neck, while in a defenseless position. 

That was so close and so forceful, refs pretty much have to throw the flag, to err on the side of safety. 

Is this team on drugs

You just explained what happened to Boyd, it was a non-call and it should have been. The refs were wrong on that call and right on the Sanders call.

It’s not a missed call when they see it and refuse to call it. Just like the numerous holds and intentional grounding calls not called against Denver.

Turn the game off all, or switch it.

So...you can just shove the defender away from the play. I did not know that.

Sorry this was not meant to be a quote

The game is over...but... well, Peko still in the hunt for the playoffs, good for him.

All I keep hearing about is how Lamar Jackson is a dual threat, how this will be the week he throws the ball, etc.... 4th quarter and he has 125 passing yards.

Can we stop pretending he isn't Tim Tebow?

Denver should just go for it

Yep , this team plus officiating is hard to watch. That was beyond obvious.

That's the problem..drug free..  They really need an infusion of 'roids'.. No! Not more hemerrhoids.. (just to clarify) 

The Bengals coaching staff isn't even trying to win this game.

Below are the plays from the last drive. The team is down 2 scores with 9:21 left, more than enough time to win this game. Instead, look at how much game clock is used between each play. No sense of urgency at all.

That was supposed to say about not a lot. I only think you are wrong fairly often.

Quoting me?  Or quoting YOURSELF???

I cant wait to see this drive. I predict a 4 yard throw to Core and three 1 yard outs to Uzomah.

Wow von Miller has such a quick first step an elite player.

Poor Jeff
