Gameday Thread: Raiders @ Panthers...

The leading with the helmet was there to protect defenseless receivers not quarterbacks out of the pocket. Still a questionable call.

What really infuriates me is that Steve B. kept harping about how Hardy led with his helmet, yet the video evidence clearly showed shoulder.

[Silent Majority]

Last. Action Hero strikes again!

[jasonluckydog]

cant wait till the gif hit on Palmer shows up

[TheRumGone]

clean form tackle and thomas davis is the poo

[Joscott]

How is Hardy's neck ok, he has to be an inch shorter after that.

[Herbert The Love Bug]

next time Hardy will just 2-hand touch the QB. That's how to sack a QB now days right?

[h0llywood]

Beurlein is making sure he gets his Xmas bonus

[PhillyB]

lol they're putting leinart in

[L-TownCat]

This is grounds for a complete beat down. Come on panthers finish these ass hats.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Anyone have a gif or a video yet lol

[LinvilleGorge]

The roughing the pass call was bullshit. But, in today's NFL, if the pads pop the flags fly - especially if a QB is involved.

Ball don't lie though. Raiders still punting.

I'm proud of how far Greg has come we need to lock him to a long term deal..

Ref has to make the call:

(f) If a player uses any part of his helmet (including the top/crown and forehead/”hairline” parts) or facemask to butt, spear, or ram an opponent violently or unnecessarily. Although such violent or unnecessary use of the helmet and facemask is impermissible against any opponent, game officials will give special attention in administering this rule to protecting those players who are in virtually defenseless postures, including but not limited to:

(1) Forcibly hitting the defenseless player’s head, neck, or face with the helmet or facemask, regardless of whether the defensive player also uses his arms to tackle the defenseless player by encircling or grasping him; or

(2) Lowering the head and violently or unnecessarily making forcible contact with the “hairline” or forehead part of the helmet against any part of the defenseless player’s body; or
