LittleHurt05 Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 28, 2013 -> 10:54 PM) That LaVeon Bell hit was brutal I understand that you don't want players running around the field with helmets off, but he was falling down while his helmet came off. The rule should at least give him the benefit of his forward motion and give him the spot where he lands, in that case a touchdown. It was brutal though, as soon as it happened, Heath Miller went straight for the camera to block its view, like "This dude might be dead, turn that s*** off".

Yea that was exactly what I thought when Miller blocked the camera. Jimmy Smith is gonna be fined for that hit.

You could have defensive guys trying to make a play on a stumbling or falling player, knowing he's still gaining yardage. Plus, then he could fumble and there could be a pile up etc. Hockey has the same rule with goaltender masks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a play where the helmet coming off is incidental to the end of the play, how does looking at the replay and calling it down where his helmet comes off furthering that goal? Instead, now we're lining them up in this dangerous position again and increasing the likelihood of further injury even more...and indeed, the next play, the center got injured.

This is what I said in the fantasy football thread in response to Jake trying to rationalize this call QUOTE (Jake @ Nov 29, 2013 -> 12:46 PM) I've been trying unsuccessfully of a way to word the rule that can allow that to be a touchdown but not encourage dangerous hits to an uncovered head The only thing I can think is something that considers the falling to the ground with the ball "completing the action". If Bell was fighting for extra yards with his helmet off, of course the ball is dead immediately. But he was hit and falling to the ground at once, and the ball was spotted where he was mid air, which is kind of weird. But I agree with Krush, there is a lot of gray area in it and someone could get hurt pretty bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, apparently CBS is allowed to "protect" one game each week from being flexed out. They made a deal with the NFL a few weeks back to allow them to flex one of the KC-Denver games but they were going to protect the other. Unfortunately this is the result of that this week. They did move the KC-Denver game from 1 to 4:25 though so it will be their national game in the late afternoon slot for probably 80-90% of the country.
