I've thought the same as well, but apparently the NFL wants to teach RGIII a lesson. Griffin has been roughed up several times in the past several weeks. Hits that would have quickly drawn a flag if it were Peyton Manning or Tom Brady. But seeing that it's RGIII and his threat to be a runner, they don't throw the flag. I mean, for Pete's sake, I saw him get elbowed and punched "inadvertently" in the head twice last night, kicked in the nuts, and driven harshly into the ground after he had thrown the ball, and no calls. I've seen defensive guys barely touch Brady, Manning, or Brees in the helmet and get called for roughing the passer. I think that is just a characteristic of being a bad team. You're not going to get the calls your way.
