The one play this preseason (dang, i can't remember which game) where one of the Packers tackled the opposing QB in the endzone as he threw the ball. There was offensive holding in the endzone, which SHOULD have been an automatic safety. But the ref flagged the Packer player for "driving the QB into the turf." On replay, it was SO obvious the Packer player did NOT even LAND on the QB, and did NOT drive him into the turf. The ref was RIGHT THERE. How he could make such a lousy call is beyond me. I HAVE seen Favre smacked around and no foul called. Seen it LOTS of times, LOTS worse then what was flagged. The NFL gets more and more rule pushing each year. Why don't they just dress all QB's in red jerseys, and make it a foul if you touch them? To me it just seems like overkill. The clothesline that Ferguson got a few years ago, the guy that did that should have been kicked out of football permanently. THAT is the kind of thing that should be cracked down on. Where players blatently go for a hit that you can see was deliberate to injure.</blockquote>
