Why should we be protecting the QB more so than any other player on the field? Are we putting different values on peoples lives and safety now? hmmm.

QB is the most vulnerable and the most important position on the field.

I know shitty call but get over it

That may be true but incidental contact to QB's heads happen EVERY week and are not called.  Many such non calls are waaaaaaaaay worse than this one.  If this is the right call then you would see this penalty called multiple times every game every week.  Please stop using the "it's the rules" argument b/c that is total bullshit!!!!!

we're saying that you cant hit this person in the head, but you can hit the others in the head. that's kinda stupid.

i also don't really see how the QB is any more vulnerable than a WR or a RB. Yes, they wear smaller padding, but we're talking about helmets here. Helmets are helmets.

Tell that to the receiver who is catching the ball

I dont understand what all the hoopla is about. Bottom line you CAN NOT hit a quarterback in the head no matter what. If you flick him in the facemask its a flag. Its been like this for a while now and this is not the first time this has come up. People are reacting like this is the first time something like this has been called. You hit the QB in the head its a flag. End of discussion.

That's why your argument is so weak that it was a correct call.  The people complaining aren't just mad that they had Philly in bets and lost, they are mad because the refs so obviously and purposefully changed the outcome of this game.  If you were on the winning side you should still agree with this sentiment as it points to the fact that you handicapping can and will be affected arbitrarily.

 

You should stop gambling before you hurt yourself.  Getting into conspiracy theories - blaming the refs for changing the outcome of the game FOR GAMBLERS (as Philly still won straight up) is laughable.  A league that suspended Hornung isn't going to get involved in fixing games - and I'm pretty sure the ref isn't on the take like some in the NBA are (or were).

A bad call cost you some money.  It happens.  ALL THE TIME.  Grow a pair and get over it already.  If you can't handle the swings and human element - you should simply get out of gambling altogether.

If they went for 2 and didn't make it they would only be 1 score up.

Because QB's are pussys, just be glad it wasn't Eli, he would have left in a stretcher!

Let's face it! If the roles were reversed, and it was Vick getting hit in the head, that flag never comes out!

Absolutely not true!!!!  Most of the time a QB gets an unintentional hand resting on his dome, it is NOT called a penalty!!!
