I'm tired of seeing WRs get away with pushes and grabs that give them space, calls that are always made when defenders do the same thing. 2 cases in point from today's games:

On the key 3rd down conversion with the Skins up 14-13, Seattle's Nate Burleson clearly shoved Springs with both hands as he went up for the ball, creating just enough separation to make the play.

On Pittsburgh's go ahead score in their game, Hines Ward jerked the DB's head down by the face mask, yet when the guy grabbed him, defensive PI was called.

I've been bitching about this all year, particularly with Randy Moss constantly pushing off. I hope the competition committee instructs refs to start enforcing excessive pushing by offensive receivers next season, because it has really gotten out of hand.
