Minkah roughing call

Post by Jizz Mop » Mon Sep 25, 2023 11:41 am

NFL is fucking insane

Can’t hit a QB “too hard”, can’t land on him, can’t hit him low, etc etc

Minkah didn’t lead with his helmet. Got Jimmy G on shoulder and then, because of something called physics, his helmet glanced Jimmy’s helmet.

Instead of a tough 3rd and long it’s 1st and goal.

And they score.

I can’t stand this shit anymore. Makes the NFL almost unwatchable.

You could see Minkah on sideline thinking he’s playing in the Twilight Zone after the Raiders score.

Even Terry McAulay couldn’t defend the call.

This is more about the fix being in late.

The NFL wanted a close game in prime time.

Nothing else makes sense.

Minkah didn't even wrap on that hit because he most likely thought he'd get a flag for taking Jimmy G to the ground.

Ridiculous.

Although I understood it more, I also bought the DPI in the first two point play was dodgy.

And the Raiders had hands to Kenny’s head several times that weren’t called.

Will Minkah get credit for the sack if the NFL reviews the play and decides the Refs were wrong?
Or at least an apology and cleared record?
Certainly no fine should be levied.

No sack.
No apology. I don’t know what you mean by cleared record.
I don’t think he should get fined, but ya never know.

I was thinking statistics wise and possibly a bad reputation. To me it was clearly a good tackle. And he shouldn't have a "bad call" count against him in the stats.

Jimmy G laid on the ground for a while and acted like he took a head shot. Officials don’t want to miss one of those calls, so they throw the flag if it’s close. Bad call but I can see why they did it

Coaches should be able to challenge roughing calls

That was fucked up

Minkah is on the leagues radar and probably Roger's now too. They'll watch every play he's involved in pick it apart and send him "the envelope". He will be James Harrison 2.0.

There was a flag thrown for DPI (IIRC) that was picked up. The ref truly looked disappointed that he had to say there was no foul on the play.

Minkah needs to learn to aim his should at the diaphragm. That would keep his head away from making contact with a helmet but would definitely make the QB feel every bit of the blow when they couldn't breath!

Agreed. Had to be from a different hit. Go play badminton.
