That's MISTER Cheesehead, to you.
Am watching the taped Bears game from yesterday. Cutler gets tackled as he throws an incomplete pass-- it is a clean hit that started when Cutler had the ball and had absolutely nothing flagrant about it. The defender simply tackled him. Yet a flag is shown for roughing the passer. Bears go on to score a TD on a subsequent play.
Also, on Sunday during the Packer-Panthers game, Bishop draws a flag for his hit on Newton while later Rodgers gets even with a hit on him. On both hits, I could not believe flags were drawn.
I am sure, if I watch more games, I will see more of the same. Watch the QBs-- they are starting to complain with every hit, hoping to draw that personal foul.
I understand that the NFL is trying to preserve QBs and keep offenses running. But... I for one am getting frustrated with the leagues treating them like china dolls. Is the next step to simply red shirt them? Two-hand touch?
It's gone too far, imo.
