Quote:If he was already in the act of sliding, he is giving himself up. Any contact from the defender is a penalty.

 

 

They allow incidental contact on slides all the time, which is exactly what that was.  The defender just kind of fell on him, and gingerly at that.

 

The last 2 weeks, however, Bortles has taken obvious, deliberate head shots that weren't called.  This one, even on the replay I found myself agreeing with the no-call.

 

I still think the worst officiating issue this season so far was "The Clock is Fine" moment when they basically gave the Jets a good minute and a half to decide if they wanted to challenge the Hurns catch or not.  Then you combine that with the Walters REVIEWED "incomplete" pass... ugh.

 

There have been HORRID calls all year.
