Because the league would rather they err on the side of caution. What punishment would you like them to give out?

Maybe helmet to helmet calls should be reviewed by an official in a booth. He can instantly review the play and tell the ref if it was actually helmet to helmet or not. He should do nothing except confirm whether or not their helmets touched.

That's all we need is another 60-90 secs for more commercials.

Are they actually announcing it as "helmet to helmet" or just as unnecessary roughness? You don't have to have the former to get the latter anymore.

The same thing happened against the Cards with us last week. They got called on a helmet to helmet when it was just a perfect shoulder pad to shoulder pad. I didn't realize that any shoulder to shoulder hit could be called unnecessary roughness. |

I pretty much know that the only way the NFL would ever look at this though is if it cost Brady or Manning a playoff game, like when the Colts didn't get to touch the ball in OT against us in 2008-09.

Yeah, the refs are just reacting to the violence of the hit on these calls.

On field executions would halt this nonsense.

This. The on-field speed of the game makes it impossible to be perfect. It's not a hard-and-fast rule anymore. Unless it's CLEARLY legal, a really hard hit that MAY be illegal will be called. Better get used to it, cuz it aint' going back.
