The issue is that its not reviewable, and even if it were reviewable there would probably be just as many overturned roughing calls as there were overturned PI calls. It's simply a dumb ****ing rule, but it's a pretty simple one.

Uh, when going full speed trying to tackle someone it is beyond difficult to control your body when a collision occurs. Can these freak athletes some times pull it off, yes, as we have seen at times. But even the most gifted athletes cannot control every situation in those circumstances. And so you some times have roughing called when it was clearly unintentional and just a matter of physics. And we are going to penalize players for physics? Illogical rule, impractical rule, stupid rule.
