Opinions on the late hit penalty?

He can slide whenever he wants. Not a penalty if he takes a shoulder to the head
I guess I'm using poor choice of words.
Fine, not mid-air, but in a position where he couldn't change his trajectory (avoid DR). And I believe he made his tackling move before DR made his sliding move.
Super close, but that's what I'm seeing.
He was sliding and got hit
Should not have been controversial
Gets called on us 100% of the time If we do the same thing
The announcers made up their own interpretation and convinced a lot of viewers it was a bad call
A lot of other people also said it is a "bad call" because they don't like the game becoming soft but that is a different issue entirely
Our defender was in a similar situation and jumped up flying over the player rather than hit them because we get called every time for this
It was a flag that was picked up because the refs realized we had not converted a first down on the play. If we had converted, the unsportsmanlike call would have stood.
Oh I’d like to see the review process get streamlined and have a likely shorter list of plays for review. I think the slide needs to be one because it is being used more and more to draw the flag and get 15 yards than not.
Bad call as well. Should’ve been a penalty. Now I’m off to get my T-level checked.
Raiola has to use his legs like he did at the end of the game. He’s as big as some linebackers. He could be a punishing runner.
Exactly. I'm not going to lose any sleep over any calls that go our way. We're owed a million at this point.
If you look at full speed it appears that the defender wasn’t going for a tackle he was trying to put dr out, sorts lead with his forearm. Dylan made that comment in the post game press conference. That’s why he got up aggressively
My thoughts are Banks caught a big pass in the second half where he was being blatantly held. No flag. On the same play we got flagged for barely touching a BC player in the face. So instead of us gaining 15 or 20 yards, or offsetting penalties getting called and replay the down, we get a 15 yard penalty. So I don't give a crap about the late hit call.
If its so obvious why do they have to use slow motion replay? Full speed indicates it was impossible for the defender. Husker fans would rightly be livid if we were called for the same play. Didnt matter, we had the first down anyway.
Raiola slid late but I also think it wasn’t so late that the defender could not avoid the collision
And? Whats he supposed to do, play tag? Is football a violent sport anymore?
I very much disagree. No way i could stop myself or change direction at that point. Watch in real speed. The game is so fast on the field.
You could probably avoid lowering your shoulder for a hit though
But why? . He was going for the hit and lowered it before dylan slid. Should he reach for his flags instead? This is football. Again Im not sure we”re appreciating how fast these things happen.
It's football. Why shouldn't the defender use his shoulder? Arm tackling is for the weak and poorly disciplined.
The hit wasn't at the neck or head area so how he tackled was perfectly fine.
I am also not seeing it as a dirty play. IF the defender believes Raiola is staying on his feet and is a ball carrier, he dropped his pad level and went in to take his legs out, the same as 30 other tackles in the game where the defender didn't stick his arms out to wrap up the ball carrier.
Even with Raiola sliding, the defender hit him below the shoulders, Raiola's shoulder pad level dropped probably 18 inches or more, so there is no way to look at that play and determine he was head hunting.
I can see it being called a penalty, I just don't think there was the malicious intent that some are claiming.
That is exactly right! He was going down to get DR. If he supposedly was already starting his tackle BEFORE DR started his slide, wouldn’t he have been more upright and maybe went over him? He saw DR going down and aimed accordingly.
He was trying to shoulder Dylan’s shin? The only way you’d be that low with your shoulder going in with no arms was with anticipation that the player was going down. The hit would make no sense otherwise.
Lol so you’re against slow motion replay for verifying if a player was in bounds or not. Solid logic there 🤣🤣
Another poster that needs to visit their local men’s clinic. Bunch of betas running around Nebraska .. embarrassing
Or, he went to take out his legs?
I honestly think as a defender in that situation, he knew there could be a chance DR would slide. So he tackled in a way that would keep DR from gaining more yards (if DR didn't slide) and be safe from a targeting penalty in case DR did slide.
Not all situations are the same. In no way is that his "logic".
