I espcially hate it how now they are starting to call for late hits if you hit a player as he is **about ** to go out of bounds, but before he is actually out of bounds. They are going to look very stupid when a player pulls up on a hit to avoid a flag, and the runner fakes going out of bounds and turns upfield.
Or a quarterback can fake a throw, and the defender lets go rather than facing a 15 yard roughing-the-passer, allowing the QB time to roll and complete a throw. Not that it has ever happened, but I had a nightmare about it happening a week and a half ago. In my dream, a rookie QB escaped from the grasp of a rookie DL, went on to pass for a first down on 4th down, keeping alive a scoring drive that cost the Giants a victory. But it was just a bad dream.
Please tell me it was just a bad dream. 
Not only was Glenn hit out of bounds but it was helmet to helmet, actually helmet to Glenn’s jaw. The Burriss boner was a blindside at the end of a play and well away from the action. It was flagrant and his later comments about protecting himself were laughable. The headbutt by Giant #70 was actually his 2nd foul during a single play. He’d first run into a lineman from behind and then twice headbutted. Then his hands go up like “Look what he did to me.” :rolleyes:
Pretty even refreeing overall (other than the Tyree call) but those three were well deserved.
Helmet to helmet contact on a ball carrier is fine. The only time helmet to helmet hits are prohibited is when the offensive player is defenseless - a receiver stretching for a pass, or a QB in the act of throwing… and there’s another rule that prohibits hitting the QB in the head under any circumstances without a note from his mother cosigned by his doctor and his third grade teacher, but that’s just stupid.
Yeah, Glenn was out of bounds, and I thought it wasn’t that bad a call - borderline, but borderline calls have to fall on one side or the other. But there’s nothing wrong with ringing somebody’s bell if he’s got the ball and is trying to score.
