Cam Newton took three headshots last night that should have been easy calls for the Refs. They only managed to throw a flag on one of them. I really have no clue how Newton finished that game. These three hits, combined with the knee target on Benjamin prove once again, that while Denver may have one of the best defenses in the NFL, they also have one of the dirtiest.... http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...s-no-calls-overshadow-great-defense-by-denver Does the league have a different set of rules for Newton verses their rules for Brady, Rogers and Brees? I have no doubt that if Rogers had been hit like the last shot Newton took, the defensive player would have been ejected.
Cam Newton, and Russell Wilson up in Seattle, seem to be judged by a different set of rules because running the ball is part of their game. There was an intentional headshot in Thursday's game by #26 on Denver that probably would have warranted an ejection IF anyone had seen it. There were several other borderline plays that probably would have drawn a flag if the QB was Brady or Rodgers. The officiating was really lackluster all around in my opinion. Poor ball placement (I'm even a Panthers fan, but I thought they got several very favorable spots following runs by Stewart), ticky-tack penalties, and rampant no-calls seemed to dominate the game.
