Eagles hit on Burks TD is a good example. Expand How was he not ejected, but Hamlin wash. Burks was knocked out!! Quote

Expand I just watched the Burks play. It was similar to Hamlan, I would be curious to understand what warrants an ejection and what does not. The fact he was knocked out is irrelevant though....its the act that is penalized not whether an injury occurred or the severity of an injury. Quote

Expand A good place to start is whether the defenseless player gets knocked-out. 1 1 Quote
BigAl2526 Posted December 6, 2022 Posted December 6, 2022 By the letter of the law, it was a penalty. Ejecting Hamlin was completely bogus, however. That was a judgment decision by the referee, and it was a very bad one. 2 1 Quote

I ask myself how I would feel if Diggs took the same hit Hamlin laid on Meyers? No. I wouldn’t like it. But what is he supposed to do? Go for the knees? No. Was he able to lower his head into the mid-section? I don’t know. On the second half thread there was some disagreement last night. You can’t just let the receiver go untouched. Right? This is football for cripes sake. I thought Epenesa’s sack was vicious. Should he have been ejected? Hard to figure out. What do you think? Expand Hamlin is good at tackling and that’s about it at this point. Potential replacement? https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/12/06/broncos-cut-anthony-harris/ Quote

Has been pretty good in coverage based on the numbers. Have not looked closely otherwise. 1 Quote
HunTim Posted December 7, 2022 Posted December 7, 2022 One thing seems clear to me, Hamlin does not deserve to be fined for this hit. He had no other choice but to tackle or give up the TD. Quote
