Not only did this unnecessary roughness call result in a penalty that moved Buffalo out of field goal range and may have lost them the game, but the NFL, after reviewing, fined Ford an additional $28K. Has everyone gone crazy?

WTF?

That is horseshit.

And the announcer is an idiot.

I really don't like seeing these blind side blocks called when there isn't a clear intent to light up or destroy a guy - I guess I feel like the play is adapting to the rule but the rules aren't adapting to instinctive play. That's a lineman on a linebacker chasing the quarterback. Come on...

The lineman could have laid out the guy but instead squared him up and engaged in a solid block.

I wonder (rhetorically, joking) how many times offensive tackles get turned around by DE's and end up "blocking towards their own goalline" during a game. Can you even block a guy who's in pursuit of a Quarterback from behind?

head in front, above the waist, no helmet use should be completely legal. The league is simply overcompensating to set up their litigating position down the road, which will be thoroughly tested...

Strong reaction from #Vikings on and off field to Nick Bosa’s flagged hit that knocked Brian O’Neill out of game. Zimmer said he missed it live, heard it called a “cheap shot” on sideline and agreed. One player called it a “bull—— move.”

Wow I missed how bad that Bosa block was during the game. Calling it a BS move puts it lightly.

Maybe someone on the Vikes should stand up to a tough team for once. Unreal. But it is clear as they sit now when they get punched, they shrivel.

Vikings radio broadcast (Bercich, Leber) both portrayed it as a cheap shot.
TV broadcast showed one split screen 2 second clip and never discussed it. It didn't fit their narrative of building UP Bosa.
