If This Is What The Sorry Ass NFL Refs Think Roughing The Passer Is, The League Might As Well Get Rid Of Tackling Completely

What's the point of tackling? This is football, right? Just gotta make sure here since this was called roughing the passer. There's no point in even attempting to put two hands on the quarterback, just get in their way and stand there like U-8 soccer. I can't get over how bad this call is. Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of bad calls throughout the NFL week and fans of every team spend time bitching. But this? This is as pathetic as it gets.

Oh and this wasn't just a whatever penalty too. It flipped the game. Gave the Jets 3 points because of this call, which you can even see Aaron Rodgers saying 'tough call.' The guy who got 'hit' is even like ehh that's probably not it. If that's not a problem I don't know what to tell you with these calls. It's not like we're screaming to not protect the players, anyone with a brain knows it's important to protect the stars and players - which is why you play on Thursday nights, duh. But at some point can we just watch football? It's a violent sport, it's going to have hits, get the fuck out of my face with 15-yard penalties for an automatic 1st down because a ref can't figure out what a tackle is. 

In a world where it's impossible to get people to agree on anything, this is the first time I've seen all of social media and Troy Aikman and Joe Buck agree this is as soft as it gets.
