Sick and tired of ROUGHING calls

[Big Poppa Naich]

This is getting to be freaking rediculous. You can't even sack the QB without getting a roughing call. What the hell. That was a clean good solid hit by any definition on Brady, and that could have made the game 10-3 instead of 7-6 at half time.

[bigalxc]

that was freaking BULLSHIT play

[nyjunc]

It would be one thing if we got some in our favor but every one goes against us.

[wildthing2022000]

Hobson does the same thing twice and only the INT play gets called.

[ollie]

how come the roughing calls always go against us? i guess the refs have no intrest in protecting our qbs

[teamgreen]

Right on. ANd anyone else notice that Hobson never "lifted" theQB but Brady actually did a little hop?..... makes me wonder if he purposely did that to draw a call.... at any rate, it was bullshit. Hobson had full mementum into the tackle, Brady still had the ball when he made contact, and there was nothing flagrant.

ALL CALLS GO AGAINST THE JETS! It's a GD shame too. I'm just getting more and more fed up with the bias.

[Sundayjack]

I agree. A bullshit call. Thanks to the pansies on the competition committee, but that's called every sunday.

[FloridaJetsFan]

I am so sick and tired of all this roughing the passer bullshit.....I thought this was football.

How can the refs expect a LB with a 15 yard running head start, stop and not hit a QB that releases the ball after he is alraedy in the LB's grasp.

That's a horrible freakin call..especially since it was an interception.

[Big Poppa Naich]

Seriously, at this point, the NFL should just make QB wear a red jersey and just not allow any hitting against the QB. It is just complete bullshit. Chad took at least 3 or 4 of those types of hits this year, and none were called.

[nyjunc]

I agree. A bullshit call. Thanks to the pansies on the competition committee, but that's called every sunday.


No it's called when we are on D but it's not called when Chad is the QB- if it was I could accept it more.

[fenwyr]

That was a clean hit, and it might change the outcome of the game.

But... Watching Ton Brady get f'ing planted for 10 yards was simply awesome.

The league is rigged, most of the time against us. They've hated us since we beat the colts in 1969, since then they've been hell bent on screwing us over.

[GreenGiant 32]

Forget roughing the passer calls. I'm sick of the refs being in New England's back pocket. What about the fact that not only did the Pats clearly get away with a false start but also with a delay of game, both on the same play before their second FG.

Can't wait for the second half.

[jetsaholic1094]

(1) Defenders aren't allowed to hit the QB low at the knees.
(2) Defenders aren't allowed to hit the QB high at the head.
(3) Defenders are allowed to hit QBs in the mid-section, as long as it's before the pass is thrown and they don't drive the QB into the ground.
(4) Defenders aren't allowed to hit QBs if they slide to the ground.
(5) Defenders aren't allowed to hit QBs if they're on their way out of bounds.

Jesus frickin' Christ.

QBs are getting such an unfair advantage now. If the league is going to protect them to that extent, then they should modify the rules to balance it out for defenders too.

For example, if a defender has his hands on the QB before the ball is thrown, the QB should be considered down right away. That prevents QBs from just chuck it while the defenders are 'hugging' them, since they can't do anything more than that these days. Hell, they should get rid of tackling altogether and make it a 2-hand touch league. Fuckers.

[nyjunc]

Great return! now let's get a TD!

[3rdAnd15Draw]

helmet to helmet on that 3rd down play just now, no call

[Learn To Swim]

The league is rigged, most of the time against us. They've hated us since we beat the colts in 1969, since then they've been hell bent on screwing us over.Yeah, because the rise of the AFL and subsequent merger have been horrible for the NFL, right?

Screw the Jets over. Man law?

Man law!

[Ten]

Why can't we have any of these BS calls go for us?

[KOZ]

I hate refs......

[Royal Tee]

Exactly the Same as the JAX game. The LB's already initiated contact and Can't see the release of the ball because they are Sacking the QB.

The Hits make the feet come off the floor so they call it as "Driving into the ground".
It really is a pathetic interpretation of the call.

[typeOnegative13NY]

helmet to helmet on that 3rd down play just now, no callMan,that one pissed me off big time.

[BadgerOnLSD]

Yeah, the negative eruption at the bar was impressive after that call. They really need to ease up on protecting the QB.
