The ref should just blow the whistle when it looks like the slide is -- Maroon Baboon 12/06/2021 3:45PM
Just like "No Crying in Baseball", there should be "No Sliding in Football" ** -- HokieCC 12/06/2021 11:57AM
Refs are paid to make judgement calls -- Beerman 12/06/2021 11:50AM
Agree and I think the targeting rule has really gotten out of control -- dtcummi 12/06/2021 10:35AM
I think you put it the other way. You aren't protected until you have slid. -- jmanatVT 12/06/2021 09:32AM
Oh no...that's like the fumble after a catch -"Make a 'football move'" ** -- HokieNerd 12/06/2021 09:18AM
I hate the whole “football move” rule. A lot of catches -- AirForceHokie77 12/06/2021 09:59AM
Simple solution: once the QB crosses the LOS, he's treated just like.... -- EDGEMAN 12/06/2021 09:15AM
^ this ** -- whatIpostlike 12/06/2021 1:13PM
Of course, but that's too simple ** -- OldRetiredHokie 12/06/2021 09:57AM
And already the rule ** -- Pylons 12/06/2021 10:39AM
"treated like".. duh ** -- OldRetiredHokie 12/06/2021 10:48AM
When are they not? -- Pylons 12/06/2021 10:56AM
Every time they get hit -- OldRetiredHokie 12/06/2021 11:10AM
Yeah, every hit BB3 took this year that shook him up -- Pylons 12/06/2021 11:19AM
If a defender comes anywhere close to hitting a QB, they throw a flag -- EDGEMAN 12/06/2021 10:40AM
A throwing QB is absolutely treated differently -- Pylons 12/06/2021 10:45AM
Agree. The defense has already been compromised by so many rules. ** -- HokieJay 12/06/2021 09:49AM
I'd be fine with that - if you don't want to be hit, slide first -- BigDave 12/06/2021 09:29AM
That's already the case ** -- Pylons 12/06/2021 09:30AM
No, it isn't the case - once you start the slide, you can't be hit -- BigDave 12/06/2021 09:31AM
Then there's no point in sliding, so -- Pylons 12/06/2021 09:36AM
I guess I would've liked for that play to have been reviewed and the QB -- hucareshokiesrul 12/06/2021 10:23AM
As i understand the rule, the ref should have called him down ** -- One4VT 12/06/2021 11:26AM
Agreed. If you're going to offer that kind of protection to the -- Pylons 12/06/2021 10:27AM
Exactly. It’s for your own protection. Don’t push it -- hucareshokiesrul 12/06/2021 10:35AM
How about anyone who slides can be speared once on the ground? -- EDGEMAN 12/06/2021 09:34AM
He is already treated just like everyone else after he crosses the LOS -- Pylons 12/06/2021 09:27AM
Has a non-QB ever slid? ** -- NOFX 12/06/2021 10:00AM
It's rare for sure -- Pylons 12/06/2021 10:25AM
Yeah, WRs give themselves up often but it's always that headfirst dive ** -- NOFX 12/06/2021 10:33AM
