It's such a terrible rule and it's totally unfair to the kids out there trying to play football.
Aregue with the rule but the penalty and review were accurately called.
Considering how many people are being seriously injured and having longterm effects to their lives due to concussions, it is a smart rule. It is made so that the game can stay around in the future.
In about 5 years when most of the kids coming through have played this way through Middle School, High School now college, it will be second nature and rarely seen.

Don't care if it was correct application of the rule or not.
It was either a bullshite call or a bullshite rule. I'm certain of that. And if it's the rule, we need to fix it ASAP.

My issue with the rule lies more in the fact that the defensive player is at the mercy of the offense. If the offensive player decides to duck or lower his head as the tackle is being made, then the defensive player is screwed because he's now "targeting" the head or neck area. Defender are lining up a hit, then the location is being changed mid-tackle from a duck or lowered head and there is nothing they can do. And offensive player can lead with there head, but a defensive player can't? Just doesn't make sense to me.
