We thought the dubious roughing the passer penalty on Tom Brady was the worst call of the week. We were wrong.

I am not a Chiefs fan, but these calls are terrible.

Whatever. It was also a fumble.

I saw it and thought it was jive. Same with the Brady tackle. But the worst ruffing call of the week was this one:

Even that didn’t help Detroit who were shut out, going 0-6 (new record) on fourth down!

That was roughing the passer in the 70’s even.

Part of the reason Brady, and other qb’s have a long lifespan these days is because how safe and over protective of that position has become. Teams spend millions on such players, and have added protections on them. It's hard to be on defense these days with the amount of added help to the offense.

Jack Lambert was right, “Quarterbacks should wear dresses”.

The commentators on another sports show said they are not allowed to fall on TOP of the QB any more............

They don't call them the "Packers" for nothing.

I saw brady get thrown to the ground and draw a flag.
I saw Pittsburg QB Pickett slide in and then he was hammered.

No flag.
It depends on the Refs

Both those calls were massive overreactions to the Tua situation. Just terrible, terrible refball this weekend.
