Quote:I don't buy your second line but I definitely don't think there should have been a flag there. It is still football? Right?

 

The Refereeing was absolutely terrible from my recollection, but the play in particular should never have drawn a flag.

 

I'd like to see the rules for helmet to helmet hits amended to include only plays in which the offensive player has their head up and aren't ducking in the manner that Johnson was on this play.

 

Protecting guys from getting destroyed by a helmet to helmet hit when they're stretched out is one thing, throwing a flag because a guy delivering a pretty mild hit happens to contact other guy's helmet due to the positioning that the offensive player chooses to take shouldn't happen.

 

Also is anyone else concerned that such a light hit had Johnson unconscious? Has he had multiple prior concussions?
