    the big tenured dude on the competition committee did not get a memo about a clarification of the horse collar rule?

    Yes, that seems to be the case.


    Gunny: check the postgame press conference.

    I do agree with what he said about it though. The whole point of the rule was to prevent it from happening. The defender released the hold, which allowed the runner to get 10 or so more yards, so why call a penalty.

    Whats next...a penalty for intending to rough a passer?

    I did'nt see the play, but if it's incidental, and does not impede the runner, I think you gotta let it go. If the runner is slowed then I think it's fair to call it as he could be injured by the near attempt.

    Jeff Fisher not knowing the rule. Well, I think that's ok. The refs have that job. But it's not good. It can be costly. You'd like him to know the rules. But nobody knows them all.

    If the runner don't go down injury is no factor. Notice they missed the helmet2helmet on Gage in the first half. Will be interesting too see if the NFL fines the cows for that.

    I think we have drawn a couple of those this year haven't we?

    And...how did the refs miss the two intentional grounding calls on Shaub? I mean on one he threw it to his lineman!!

    Refs caught some of the suck which was oozing from the Titans today.

    That was him saying they blew the call, also saving him from getting a big fine.
