I heard this. They were yelling a bunch of other stuff that is not repeatable - all aimed at the refs who were down right stank ass last night.

How long is the league going to keep trotting out these bums? They have got to fix this. The Bears had so many terrible calls that went against them.

The league needs to clean up this going low on a blocker to make the tackle. I don’t understand how Logan Thomas hit which ended his season is legal, yet the cornerback who made an amazing tackle for loss last night is a 15 yard penalty because in making the tackle he dove in front of the Oline man who was out of the tackle box blocking no one.

I’ve seen this a couple times and it’s pure garbage

Exactly - it was clear that the defender was making a tackle yet he got flagged cause the linemen was in the way? That is just so bad yet w/ Thomas no flag. How can they explain that?

If I didn't have money on that game I would have turned it off. The quality of football mixed in w/ shitty officials has really hurt the NFL.

They need to just ban low blocks. It's such a cheap way to block a guy and the injury risk is insane.

I think overall NFL rules are badly written. The NCAA/IFAF rules make a lot more sense. The low block rule being a good example.

Defense: allowed to go low 5yards from the LoS in both directions. Block has to be initiated from the front, no low block on the side.

Offense : no further than 5y past the LoS.
Block initiated from the front, except from linemen inside the tackle box.
No block towards the initial position of the ball outside the tackle box (in essence, block has to be made in the direction the play is going).
Once the ball has left the tackle box, no low block towards your own endzone.


Good compromise of players safety and making sense IMO.
