OT-Jason Peters Earned My Respect

[Darkside]

It's football, both can be the right call and one dude gets flagged. I still have no issue whatsoever with what Peters did and I'd hope Veldheer would do the same to protect Palmer.

Yup still the right call. And I also have no problem with Peters.

Legal per NFL... Right decision...

Legal, but unnecessary. Should've been flagged for unnecessary roughness.

If it was legal, why would it be flagged? I do think it was unnecessary though.

It was a ***** move and Baker knows it.

Bah. QB was in pursuit. He's fair game. And Im a Foles fan.

Legal? Tell me why? The QB was no where near the play and was blindsided. This screams to me as selective interpretation of the rule. It's no wonder people complain about the officiating all of the time.

NFL is garbage.

NFL is garbage.

In this case, I agree.

Replacement refs got a bad rap.

Explains very clear why legal here

Was the hit legal? In the name of the rules, yes. But it was a ***** move and Baker knows it. I told him as much in his Twitter. It's like in hockey, a goalie comes out of the crease and he is free game but no one hits him. One of those unwritten rules. The NFL really should take a look at this because if it's open game on QB's, the product is going to suffer. Imagine how bad this game would be if it were nothing but backups.

No one in their right minds would say that Foles was truly going after the play. He was barely jogging if that. I'm sure you loved the hit on Kurt Warner too right? These plays are beyond dangerous and one day it will get some one seriously hurt.

See Larry Fitzgerald as to how to blindside block without trying to intentionally injure the guy.

I don't even get how this is being debated..

They throw a flag if your pinky swipes the QB.. they're sure sure as hell gonna throw it hen you headhunt on a turnover.. especially after bounty-gate.

Having second and third string scrubs as QB's is bad for business.
