What is the NFL rule on that? I root against Cam Newton (and the Broncos for that matter), but Stewart put his helmet to Cam's helmet. How was he not ejected? Insane.
Can't believe that Bronco wasn't ejected for targeting

When you figure out what is targeting and what isn't let me know, because every week I have less and less of a clue.
I've said my piece. I thought that Gifford was not targeting. Just a good play with inadvertent helmet contact. Tonight's incident... clear helmet to helmet. Wicked. Again, I root against Cam "Highest Dollar" Newton. It was just so blatant. No one else has an opinion on that play?
Not a good night for the officials, in my opinion. I was pulling for Denver, but that blatant attempt to gift them a first down at Carolina's 1-yard line was ridiculous. It was eventually overturned, but that had to be one of the most generous spots in NFL history.
It's also ridiculous to give Carolina a 1st down on 4th-and-22 because both a WR and DB put a hand on the others' face mask. Wish the NFL would revisit its criteria for automatic first downs. Losing a game because of that penalty would have been a shame, even after the Broncos got more than their share of favorable calls.

Gene Steratore must have pics of the commish to keep his job. The guy and his crew are clueless.
Officials are taking a lot of heat today.
I think the QBs who can run or are a tough tackle the way Big Ben and Cam are don't get the benefit of calls that guys like Brady or Manning would get who are more pocket-passer types. They did throw a flag for roughing on that second head shot, but it was negated by the intentional grounding.

Gifford hit him high. If that same hit happened against our QB, you all would be singing a different tune.
No targeting in the nfl. Only ejected if you have two personal foul penalties after the whistle.
Hmmm... you'd think there'd be some happy medium. You get the personal foul. Then you watch the replays and determine if it was targeting. I just hate the auto ejection for what should just be a hard hit. Now, lead with your head and strike the other guy's helmet and you should be ejected. Following through and having your facemask or a glancing of the helmet draw a targeting call is absurd. Again, it's just my opinion.
The fines go to charities to aid former players. Actually a tax write off for the players I believe.
