The "targeting" call will be forgotten in short order...

I doubt it will be forgotten by Arizona St fans. I can honestly say that was the worst call I've ever seen in all of my years of watching football...and I'm 55 years old. I've yet to see a commentator or even NFL officials who disagree.

The hit by Bullard on MHJr was a pretty egregious hit in the peach bowl a few years ago.

Yeah but his team benefited from that hit, so it was just a clean football play.

Was a good no call.

It was a good no-call.

This sounds a little dramatic to me. I agree that by the book it should’ve been a targeting call, but I’ve seen at least a dozen calls this year alone that were malicious hits with intent to harm. The replay on this clearly demonstrates incidental helmet to helmet contact while making a play. Again I think that because of the way the rule is written that it was, technically, a “targeting” penalty. But to say it’s “the worst call in 55 years of watching football” tells me you may have a habit of dozing off during games or something.

What about the other targeting call they reviewed in the same game where the ASU player launched himself off the ground into the defenseless Texas receiver and hit him high in the head and neck area? That was a no call too and a more intentional hit..
Screw the ASU fans, their team got away with just as much crap in that game, let em whine...

You know better than NFL officials?

Led with the shoulder, hit the shoulder, the helmet contact was secondary.
Against ASU, he led with the crown of his helmet, and the contact was initiated to the helmet, on a defenseless receiver trying to reel the ball in.

I was with your wife last night and she didn't "doze off"...and uh, she said, 'for a change'. Don't shoot the messenger. 
May we meet in the finals and the best team win.

Since you aren't a Texas fan who naturally won't admit the truth...
Why do you think it was a "good" no call?

I do, I’m an anonymous internet poster.

What about
When you see or hear this at the start of a someone's rebuttal you know right away they don't have a good answer to the argument.

Interesting take after you've spent the better part of this season crying about being unfairly treated by the refs.
Posted on 1/2/25 at 11:25 am to Nasty_Canasta
Bullard hit was shoulder to shoulder
UTx hit was head to head
So…very different

Yeah, that one was textbook for what the targeting rule was created to stop, and was a no call in ASU’s favor.
Yet everyone is self immolating over one that was a form tackle with unintentional face mask to face mask contact. The rule as written requires “forceful contact” to be targeting, which I don’t think it was.
More importantly the “rules analysts” don’t even seem to address this aspect of the rule as far as I can tell.

Whenever you see an OU or A&M fan post about a Texas game, you need to be skeptical as well and understand their statement will contain 50% hate and 50 % bias and BS.
I was just saying the officiating was bad both ways in that game. In my opinion, both could have been called for targeting easily, but neither play resulted in the penalty. It was tit for tat.

There was no launch. He did not lead with the crown of his helmet. It was helmet-to-helmet but he led with his facemask. There wasn't any malicious intent behind his hit, it was just a football play IMO.
