I'm fine if they throw the flag, but the sky refs need to be more involved in those plays and tell the refs whether or not it actually is and be willing to pick it up. A few of those this weekend should have been picked up but were not, but during the heat of the action, I can't really blame the refs for throwing it in the first place. It's all happening so fast I don't know if I could blame them for at least thinking it was illegal.

You, completely missing the fact that you gave people irreparable brain damage

@@Orphim the problem is the refs have to call what they see on the field, they don’t get to wait for input from the higher ups. The league just keeps limiting what defense can do because the big splash offensive plays are what draw in an audience

@@PcCAvioNAs well as damaging his own brain too.

11:30 Aaron Donald, #99, for the LA Rams catches Douds and pile drives his poor head right into the ground. No wonder these players get CTE. It’s hopeless for the tiny QB!

Qb’s throwing shit hospital passes and get free 1st downs at the cost of CTE of his receiver. Great leaders on the teams for sure🤡

Austin Collie could probably sue Peyton Manning for all the times he got blasted over the middle trying to catch those passes😂😂

I’m seeing Kyle Hamilton looking a lil helmet to helmety. This concerns me for my lions… don’t wanna see him do no dirty shit this week

​@@JTLifestyle1drama queen recievers play football cupcake

Nah not legal at all

​@tripzn5907 perfectly legal. Clean hit, bad call.

The niners could’ve just made the kick

@@tripzn5907 where the fuck does the defender need to go? disappear into nothing?

@@peytonmadden3511 yeah but it's more fun to bitch about the refs

There shouldn’t be any ejections for a football act, period.

dawg, these athletes are human too. They gotta protect them sometimes. That helmet to helmet messes people up.@@AlexCentury

Take their helmets away and turn this into a man's game like rugby

@@user-qr7ee2cp4y id love to see you play football with no helmet

@@AlexCentury your delusional tbh you just want people to do seriously bad shit and injure others for the fun of it

We’re finally up man. I LOVE to see it🤧🤧

Watching it live was crazy

of course a gay like you would like the lions

not compared to the previous eras

@@patek9789before was different I can’t really compare since I never watched games before the 2010ish…..

@@patek9789You obviously can’t blame that on the players tho, as you can see they are hitting but the refs wanna throw a flag at everything

The players of the 60's, 70's 80's n 90's were like that every play. That's why the NFL became so popular. Not hardly worth watching now.

Just don’t hit players in the head, it’s that simple.

@@zznerzzeven when they clearly hit shoulder/torso some refs are bitches and call a foul

@@zznerzz Found the person who has never played football as defense before

@@3ndeavor I mean he’s right tho they just don’t want head collisions but these refs man..they call everything

@@jaquaveonandress649 even in high school football it's really hard to not hit a player in the head. It is instinct to curl up and put your head down before getting hit, thus offensive players will always drop their heads down before collision. As defense, you basically have to just get hit and wrap up the ball carrier. You essentially cannot have momentum, which limits how quickly and at which angles you can approach the ball carrier. Also, ball carriers have no limits as to how hard they can hit the defense, and if the OFFENSIVE player initiates head to head contact then it's the defensive players' fault, as explained by the first thing I said. Thus, it's nearly impossible to "just not hit players in the head" and still play good defense. I get not wanting head injuries because it makes the NFL look bad, but you're playing AND watching the wrong sport if you're worried about getting head injuries.

Disagree, defense has been dominant this season. Ex. Cleveland v. San Fran and Cinci v. Seattle.

No question about the first one. He launched himself and aimed for his head.

@@TheHammer89 Skyline view from the other side showed that it was shoulder to shoulder on the Browns vs 49ers game. Not sure why it wasn't shown here, but they broadcasted the replay in slow motion on live broadcast. The slow motion showed that, the build up to the hit, 31 moved himself to the side to make sure it wasn't helmet to helmet. It was a clean legal hit.

​@@TheHammer89There is still a question though. The flag I get, but not the ejection. In college, arbitrary "targeting" calls by refs can get you thrown out for one foul like this, but the NFL is a two strike system. Two in one game, that is, and that's Hamilton's first flag like that in his career lol. Fine and flag, sure, but the ejection was unwarranted.

The worst part is they are teaching players how to draw these penalties. I have a buddy that spent several practices a week just working on drawing penalties. Dropping your helmet at the last second and whatnot. It’s dirty and improper.

Ironically they would survive… but later in life commit Suicide or a Deteriorating quality of life

Sad, but true. @@WalterWhite-sm2dr

Menace 😭💀

Great call if u hate the niners

@@peacebestill2653 It's still a bad call. Even the announcers thought it was a bad call.

Won Cleveland the game.. Otherwise, they'd have to punt there.

You obviously haven't watched any big 12 football recently. 7 games this season alone have been directly decided by horrible or missed calls.

​@@xenogears5177After that play, the Browns put a drive together and kicked a field goal... unlike the 49ers.

It's not just "hits" helmet to helmet is a major situation. Players careers have ended and been seriously hospitalized from helmet to helmet hits.

@@Dabx30who cares its literally part of the game, if you dont wanna get hurt dont play the game its that simple

I can smell the sweat dripping off your beer gut@@tysenmitchell5926

@@tysenmitchell5926 That is a small-minded shortsighted way to think. These are people, doing a job, and you don't have to hit like that and risk permanent injury to do it. Smashing someone's face in by targeting the head shouldn't be "part of the game". You have to view the players as people. They aren't characters on a TV show with special effects and stuntmen.

with all that being said, it's their decision to play football at the end of the day. if they don't want contact, there's flag football. no one forced them to make millions of dollars a year to play football in the NFL. the general population has more dangerous jobs that do not get the pay, recognition, and fame that these athletes get. in life, every job or decision has a tradeoff, and this is one of the tradeoffs/sacrifices that these players have decided to make as youth/young adults to begin playing football@@5995Oblivion

lol no

You cannot launch at an defenseless receiver. Not even from one foot. He did that. That’s a new emphasis on the illegal hit rule now. He should have stayed on the ground and run through the defender.

not really didn't you hear what dean said "its a legal hit"@@sonofmiriam

as they should

@@anthonysalmeron3823 Rule 12 Sec 2 Article 9 states “illegally launching into a defenseless opponent. It is an illegal launch if a player (i) leaves both feet prior to contact to spring forward and upward into his opponent, and (ii) uses any part of his helmet to initiate forcible contact against any part of his opponent’s body. (This does not apply to contact against a runner, unless the runner is still considered to be a defenseless player, as defined in Article 7.) They tweaked this rule this past off season to include one foot off the ground to launch as a personal foul.

@@sonofmiriam so you’re saying you know more about the NFL rule than the one who’s making them ?? Funny

I think he got hurt from the 220 pound man spear heading his ear hole.

That hit on anyone but a quarterback doesn’t draw a flag. It shouldn’t have been called on that play though, quarterback or no. I bet Josh would tell you the same thing off the record. It’s getting so ridiculous.

They look great

I think they're gorgeous. Seattle's uniforms are ghastly.

@@thecawdsquad875 okay buddy🤣

Then they say it’s a “no call” 😂

I said the exact same thing, he hadn’t even touched the line yet, if you’re in between the white lines on the side, you’re gonna get hit, simple as that

Train better. Period.

@@spdcrzywtf are you talking about

wrap your arms around him then set him down gently on a pillow

There’s no reason to give someone cte when you can tackle them more safely

It’s not that they hit them to hard it’s more about helmet to helmet and the receiver can’t protect themselves

I really think bringing back bigger pads would help slow players down enough to minimize impact damage. It would also give them more surface area to hit that isn't the head or helmet.

I think it will eventually

a lot of the time hitting the ground makes it like a double concussion . cuz ya brain smashes one way then smashes again .

👍 Yup

Great play by him. Trash league now

@@bloodorange6713first: defenseless reciever second: launches into the air to initiate contact on said defenseless receiver third: leads with crown to hit said defenseless receiver fourth: hits the defenseless players helmet with crown fifth: cries about the call

Exactly this is why College Football is better than the NFL the NFL have gotten way soft‼️
