I was wondering the same thing......clearly.....this was some BS! Are they not letting the boys play FOOTBALL anymore!?? What is this flag football now?
But same goes for the Goldman penalty (when we got penalized), and they never even replayed the Fuller interception which he ran back for a TD. What happened to the replays?!?!

Well I believe the explanation was centered around the driving the player into the ground/landing on the player with your full weight. That said, I'm just supplying the explanation I heard. I think it's total bullshit and I don't know how you land on someone without your weight being on them. It was a shit call and absolutely cost the Broncos the game.
Football as we know it will be gone, soon. It is just a matter of time.
The lawyers will win, there is indisputable medical evidence that football causes serious brain injuries (other injuries, too, of course but this is the key issue). And the teams know it, have known it. Yep. Think "mesothelioma", sure it took decades but eventually it was all proven, billions have been paid out so far.
These massive mutants taking HGH and benching 450 and running 4.4's, 4.5's, hell even the 320 pounders run damn fast nowadays, are destroying each other, and it is getting worse each year.
Oh, and on artificial turf, sometimes. Nice.
College, too, and high school teams have OL's that all five are >300 lbs.
It is over: 5 yrs = changes, 10 years = extreme changes that result in a game that we do not even recognize.
Some silly rules will go into effect, like touch the QB, no tackling, then more, and so on.
Ditka said that if he had an 8 yr old son, he would not let him play football. Fucking DITKA!
(the only compromise/workable solution is WEIGHT LIMITS, say, 250 for linemen in the NFL, 215 for LB's and everybody else 200, but that will never happen)
