Intent or not, isn’t the NFL running the commercials regarding safe tackling in youth football? Sure didn’t see much of that yesterday.

This is the most blatantly awful non-call of the season. DHB might be out for the year on two players aiming for his head and the refs didn’t call it.

So much for the league championing “player safety” right?

He was not even conscious when he hit the ground, so I doubt that! But nice try!

These guys are NOT controlling the games or making the calls, so all you are doing is collecting money for fines Goodell, because the refs are not doing their jobs! I love football, but I think what it might take to get Roger’s head out of his butt is the players striking. They have been threatening, and this may just seal the deal! That was a VICIOUS hit with NO flag, and the same thing is happening in the Ravens/Patriots game. I swear in the first half one team could have pulled a weapon and used it rifgt in front of a ref and the refs would have just shook their heads and walked away! NO CONTROL!

I don’t agree with the rules because its based on something no one could control. There was helmet contact though. D back led with shoulder and receivers head dropped. 80% of these are just that. Its all a PR stunt because of lawsuits.

I did not think the defender either led with his head or hit DHB in the head. DHB definitely hit his head on the ground. From this Steeler hater’s perspective it looked likme a clean but hard hit.

The Steelers have been doing helmet to helmet hits for years under the real officials anyway.

Steelers strike fear into opposing receivers.

Hayward-Bey wasn’t scared, just unconscious. And all the Raider receivers that caught balls after that cheap shot weren’t scared, either. Just victorious. Get to bed, son. You have school tomorrow.

Its utterly incomprehensible that a flag wasn’t thrown on this hit. And if you don’t throw flags on hits like these, you just invite more of them. Hitting defenseless receivers in the head, hitting QBs late, hitting QBs in the head….. plenty of those plays have happened in the last two weeks without getting flagged. No flags = no change = more hits of this type, which endanger the safety of players.

Good to see the better team won today. Sorry Steeler fan – and make no mistake, I mean that in the least sincere way possible.

Earlier, I meant the public opinion fell on the side of the owners but after a game like this – with both teams getting away with really ugly stuff – the fans’ good graces will be short lived. Thing is… They don’t care. They don’t care about the players, they know we’ll watch the games. Just need to make ‘me feel it some other way – bet online merchant sales drop on days like this. Bottom line… Replace the replacements.

He should face suspension. Completely unnecessary. And all my good thoughts are going out to Heyward-Bey and his Family.

In Skins game they didn’t call pass interference on safety who wasn’t looking back and cut off WR and that was 3rd down and huge turning point. In another game they marked off penalty from the wrong 44 yard line(the one closer to the end zone) and allow extra time outs and reviews. This is nuts and it’s got to stop. If not there is going to have to be a * next to the eventual super bowl winner.

Even in the face of rising costs to fans, seemed the public opinion fell pretty heavily on the side of the players.
Strange to think that such a correctable issue as replacement officials could cost them all of that but after today? This game is like watching a fight in a prison yard.

Defender drove helmet first, those types of hits are banned. The past two games the Steelers have been getting away with blatant penalties, holding/PI/etc (the big ones). These refs just don’t give a damn, they know they’re just temporaries and with all the negative press, they just don’t care anymore.
