Dallas v. Washington

[oncelost77]

Try pausing the Landry hit on Laurent Robinson at :30 to :31. If you don't see him dropping his head and making contact with the top/forehead/crown, then we are watching different plays. This is bang-bang IHC, no option for slow-mo during the game but I default to safety when in doubt. The endzone angle gives a good view around :23 showing him dropping his head. The flag from me is to protect Landry in the future more than it is to protect Robinson, imho.

So you're OK with penalizing fouls that don't happen. Nice to hear that.

Nice to hear that you can't handle someone that disagrees with you on a point, so you resort to making a statement like that. I actually only penalize fouls that don't happen. That's what got me where I am today.

So, you can say with such utter matter of factness that a foul didn't occur? That a competent jury of seven officials couldn't find reasonable doubt that a foul occurred. I am not an NFL official but as I stated earlier, this would have warranted a flag for me in college and high school. The college rule reads something like "when in doubt, it is a foul."

I would say agree to disagree but I guess by your statement above that won't work for you. So, you are right. He didn't drop his head and hit a defenseless receiver with the crown/top/forehead of his helmet. Mercy, I give!
