Exactly.

It's gotten to the point on NFLN anytime they show highlights and RG3 runs, someone is in the background muttering something about him not lasting the season. If anyone else is running it's oh what a great play.

Yep. Pretty sickening. Cam Newton scrambles and runs - wow, he's so great! RGIII scrambles and runs - he's going to get himself killed!

NFLN is a total joke and so is their cast, their games suck as well, only thing they get right is a football life

Newton definitely takes his fair share of hits. Yes he's got a bigger frame to absorb them but the point remains, he could get hurt just as easily as anyone else. Knees are fragile.

Yep, and people seem to forget Griffin is 6'2" and built solid. No QB since Brady Quinn has hit the weights as hard as Robert.

3 inches of height isn't a huge difference when it comes to getting hit by a freight train like Patrick Willis.

He's a lot stronger and tougher than he's given credit for. He has taken some monster hits and just gets up.

People talk about Griffin like he is 170 pounds or something and 5'9".

It would have taken maybe the most fantastic athletic play in history to even touch the ball. Zero chance he was going to catch it.

If I had to wager, than of course I am betting on him not making that play. However, it is not up to the refs to say he wouldnt make the greatest athletic play in history. If there is even the most remote chance he can catch it than you have to throw the flag. It was a bad call.
That being said - fuck the Pats they get alot if bad calls going their way - hows it feel bitches?

There wasn't. Everyone gets mad at the refs for blowing games but when they make the call that is in line with the rule book, everyone turns into analysts. Luke Kuchely didn't wrap his hands around Gronk until the ball got to Lester. IF you wanna call defensive holding you have a better argument, but by pass interference rules that isnt it. When LaRon Landry had the exact same play in the 2007 playoff game against the Seahawks no one was crying there.

It was a good non-call in my opinion.

[donofriose]

I thought it was good no call but when the ref threw the flag and then said nevermind... I would have been very angry if I was Bill or Tom.

[punch it in]

Mike perrera - or whatever his name is - says it was a penalty.
So does Rich Gannon, and whatever Gannon says goes.

He absolutely held him before the ball got there.
Edit: dont remember the 07 call. I dont really give a crap about the Pats, lol. Just my opinion on the call. If the skins got that call for them im jumping for joy, if not im bitching and moaning - im a Skins fan. However even when the skins get a call in their favor I will still say its a bad call if i think it is one.

Just so were all clear on whether or not he was held before the ball got there....

I'm sorry. Could you make that picture any smaller?
