Dear Lord you are daft. As in short bus stupid daft. You are trying to skew it to your side without know shite about the rules. Read below and maybe you will understand.

quote:
KEY ELEMENTS Target—to take aim at an opponent for purposes of attacking with an apparent intent that goes beyond making a legal tackle or a legal block or playing the ball. Crown of the Helmet—the top portion of the helmet. Contact to the head or neck area—not only with the helmet, but also with the forearm, fist, elbow, or shoulder—these can all lead to a foul. Defenseless player—a player not in position to defend himself.
Examples (Rule 2-27-14):
A player in the act of or just after throwing a pass.
A receiver attempting to catch a pass, or one who has completed a catch and has not had time to protect himself or has not clearly become a ball carrier.
A kicker in the act of or just after kicking a ball, or during the kick or the return.
A kick returner attempting to catch or recover a kick.
A player on the ground.
A player obviously out of the play.
A player who receives a blind-side block.
A ball carrier already in the grasp of an opponent and whose forward progress has been stopped.
A quarterback any time after a change of possession.

After reading that do you now understand why you are beyond stupid? The same reason why Reuben Foster wasn't and should not ever be considered being flagged for his much more violent helmet to helmet his in Kelly is why your first picture shows how utterly STUPID you are.

It's clear we disagree on things here. I think it says something about you that this is the route you go to express disagreement.

I'll play along with your continued argument, even though you're clearly wrong.

You pointed out the rules (as I already had, but whatever). They state:

I think you are mistakenly assuming one has to be guilty of all of these. The image I posted (and did again below for your convenience) shows a player straight up launching himself at a ball carrier and obviously making helmet to helmet contact with the crown of his helmet. It is the definition of
