Bad, very bad!

Substandard posted:

So on that offsetting personal foul / intentional grounding call. By that rational, is it intentional grounding every time you headshot the QB and he drops the ball while crumpling to the ground unconscious? Apparently the rules are clear on this.

Which is why I could see a potential rule change going through like I said. Things just aren't set up like that now and there's really nothing to do about it until after the season at the earliest.

And who am I kidding, no one in the NFL and most of us won't remember this by the time it would be addressed.

(also Cam won't remember because he won't remember tonight)

The being upset at the offsetting rule thing would seem more, I don't know, genuine, if half this thread wasn't people whining about the refs the entire game.

if you see a dude getting blatantly smoked in the head and think it shouldn't be penalized because the dude didn't also manage the throw the ball far enough, i can't help you

It's kind of a weird rule to change because it's not like the rule being in place would actually deter anything but it does feel dirty

I'm not blaming this loss on the refs, because we were still in a position to win even with bad calls and missed a kick. I'm pretty sure I even said the Panthers have things to work on! I spent most of the game bitching about our secondary, for example. But yes, the officiating was also terrible. The Panthers not being able to close and the refs being a total joke are things that are allowed to be simultaneously true.

I believe the presumption behind changing the rule would be to further discourage the act. As in, if a helmet to helmet hit always takes precedence over any other penalty, then players would be less likely to do it.

If a penalty that causes deliberate harm to another player is graded most harshly, yes it would influence what players do.

Like, I get you are doing this pissbaby week 1 newbie bullshit for laughs but yes the safety of players does matter regardless of team

Not to say that it would be a bad thing to change the rule but it would be a cosmetic change at best.

You know that hit still would have happened even without the intentional grounding call the way the game was going.

I think there is actually a system where they grade penalties, it is just lovely. Like a 5-yard penalty and a 15-yard penalty can't offset and the 15 is enforced. Grounding is a spot foul though, and therefore doesn't apply. NFL rules are bad and dumb

The foul precedence problem. Helmet to helmet isn't going away unless there's a total culture shift. I'm ignoring player safety like the nfl

I wouldn't expect any significant rule changes if only because this happens so rarely.

In fact in the decade I've been watching football I can't remember watching a game where this specific problem came up.

Oh you must have missed the previous post I made. I think offsetting penalties is generally fine, if maddening at times (also I think by rule there are already a few situations where a 5 yard penalty will be ignored in favor of a personal foul). Specifically in the situation a quarterback is roughed on a play I think there's a decent argument that grounding should not be called because the quarterback may not have had a fair opportunity to legally throw the ball away.

But again, I'd be really surprised if this was a talking point by the time the rules committee meets. The situation would have to happen in a playoff game or something.

there were no less than five instances of it throughout the game, and that's just off the top of my head.

it didn't just happen on the final drive.

them targeting Cam wasn't even the most blatant offense, either. the tackle in the first half on benjamin, when the DB just dove right into the back of his surgically repaired knee, was the worst.

There should absolutely be harsher penalties for intentional/dirty hits but changing the way penalties offset (I don't believe) would make any significant change to the way certain players approach their tackles.
