He was really grating on me last night. Safety drops his helmet and blasts a defenseless receiver - “I don’t know what else they expect him to do.” Keep your damn head up instead of going for the big hit. Trevathan was sitting on the bench for doing the exact same thing. Pay attention, chucklehead.

Also, yeah, refs. Talk about a ticky-tacky OPI at the start of the game, while missing a couple blatant DPIs elsewhere.
