See #22 above. That's the new rule in effect this year.

I'm not advocating FOR or AGAINST it - it simply IS the rule.

The ref judged Page's hit was in the "neck area" and threw the flag. That's MY interpretation of what happened.

I assume that IF the NFL actually backed off the penalty in their letter - instead of just clarifying - I assume they must now be saying it wasn't the "neck area."

Otherwise, they may as well just tear up the new rule.
