Harrison Smith ejected
You're only given a little spark of madness. You mustn't lose it. — Robin Williams
I've been saying for years, the football I was raised on is gone. I'd be mad at the call, but it's the culture in general. Football, by nature, is violent. You can't officiate it out of the game. Either end it altogether as it is, undeniably, terrible for you physically ... or you insist they understand the consequences (brain injuries emphasized) and let them play the game the way it's meant to be played.
Not a popular view, I know.
There have been much worse hits this season without an ejection.

Exactly. The receiver lowered his head as well. That should have been taken into account as well.
While I wasn't big on there even being a flag, I could have accepted the 15 yards. Him being ejected? Give me a break. You going to do that to everyone now going forward? Nope.
I can ubderstand the penalty but ejection? That seems absurd to me. It wasn’t malicious.

He wasn't wearing puke green and yellow, so....

I'd like to cite bias here, but this is an example of nobody knowing rules.

Iloka damn near saved that draft position by himself too...
Good try George!!!
It was not a malicious targeting play. I'm just glad that it didn't cost them win, but their safety depth is ugly.
