Who understands the play book well enough to explain why that had a potential of not being targeting?

THJr had the TD catch until he was hit in the helment

By the rules leading with a helmet or shoulders above the neck to a defenseless player is targetting. That was a textbook definition.
I'm just glad THJR is up ad walking around. If it ends up costing us the game I'll bitch about it then.

Perhaps it was the not so subtle lowering of the crown of his helmet into the side of a player in the ai,r WITH THE GO AHEAD TD, unable to defend himself. Hunter already had the TD he only had to come down with the ball. The defender didn't go for the ball he went for the KILL.

He turned his shoulder first. It's bullshit if you're not allowed to try to make a play. I guarantee you if that happens against ND and a flag is called, everyone here will cry that it was a bullshit foul. Over the years ND has had way more calls go there way and I then I have to read people on this board always whine how nothing goes our way. It's hysterical. Try being an Oakland Raiders fan. Then you'll truly know what it's like to never get any call.

In case anyone was curious.

No player shall target and initiate contact to the head or neck area of a defenseless opponent with the helmet, forearm, fist, elbow or shoulder. When in question, it is a foul. (Rule 2-27-14)

You are not welcome with your lack of reason. If that happened to your player, you'd be livid. You can't make contact directly to the helmet first when making a defensive play.

Heh, I'm an Oakland Raiders fan. And yes, nobody knows more about getting screwed by the refs than us.
