Second it is apparent you didn't go back an watch the fumble. You can not be ruled down until you have possession of the ball. Watch the video again and see where Shazier gains possession of the ball.
As a typically ignorant Squealer fan, you're looking at the wrong thing.
The ref's blew the whistle because they thought Bernard was down by contact. He wasn't, of course, but it was a quick whistle.
What you are forgetting ... about the Shazier/Bernart hit ... is the following: Shazier had his helmet up, looked at Bernard, then lowered his helmet and hit him with the crown of the helmet. Per rule 12-2-8, this is a foul.
While I know that YOU believe that the hit was clean (because a Squealer initiated the hit), let me ask you the following question. I know you won't be truthful with your answer, but WTH.
The question is this: In the first game of next year, under EXACTLY the same circumstances, Burfict hits Bell in EXACTLY the same manner.
Will you scream at your TV when the refs DON'T call a penalty on Burfict? If you said "NO, I still would think it is a legal hit", then I know you're still as full of crap the Squealers.
