The NFL will continue to play dumb and then offer a "rules clarification" or a "point of emphasis" during the off season.  That's not strong enough action to prevent the injury that's coming.

Yes.

I agree with what most have said about it mattering and that it needs to be addressed.

If the rule is truly put in place to protect the players then it should apply to all players.

An offensive player running full speed who decides to initiate contact with his helmet to another player should get the penalty.

My personal feelings are disappointment in the call and the defenses play the entire game.

I blame the loss on the coaches/team more than an unclear call in this instance.

It shouldn't make the refs less accountable for making such a call or the NFL needing to clarify/fix the penalty.
