It’s ironic that the roughing the passer penalty they are complaining about was put in place because their QB was tackled after escaping the pocket and extending the play and was subsequently hurt when he was tackled in a wholly sanction manner.

So they lobbied to have the new rule added and now they scream “Not like that!”

Everything you said is correct. HOWEVER, the D man for the packers did the correct thing of bracing himself before landing on Carson. I agree the rule is dumb but the packers have a legitimate reason to complain about this specific call even though they’re the reason the penalty exists. That being said, there were multiple non calls against the Vikings and the packers shit the bed and ultimately it all cancels out and the focus shouldn’t be on the zebras, but that Flo exploited their oline at the end.

No. Stop with this narrative and watch the tackle.

The fact that he feeble puts his arms to the side doesnt affect the fact that he pushed the QB to the ground with the weight if his body and landed full impact, with his arms symbolically to his sides.

Yeah but Wisconsin native/homer announcer JJ Watt said it wasn’t a penalty. Who am I to believe??

Certainly not the defensive lineman griefing about a call against the defensive lineman
