It;s nearly an impossible play to officiate. Like I said, that is a debate with in itself.

My problem is that since it is so often officiated wrong, in that instance, after 20 penalties have been called in the game, including one on a QB slide earlier, why seek to deliver a blow to the QB? Just tag him down. Stopping the clock & adding 15 yds was too much to risk in that situation. If he doesn't touch him, they got :09 at best to try and spike it & send in the special teams for a 62 yd FG. If this was in the 3rd quarter, I'm more about the call itself. But in that instance it was way too costly.
