I'm not sure what the ref actually said. I never heard his actual call.

I was listening to Mitch and Lenny; and the replays have Deion Sanders on the voiceover; and they show Haley objecting animatedly. And they are ALL pointing out Page used his shoulder, not his head! As if it mattered!

What's the point? The hit was below the shoulder on a receiver with possession of the ball. It was a bad call. Period.

And I don't give a crap if Williams didn't get a flag or the Cowboy fans aren't bitching about it. His hit on Williams is the exact same hit/reason why Page got flagged. It was a hit on a defenseless receiver who never had a chance on the ball. It resulted in injury. However, as you've had Lynch on your team for the past couple of years, I imagine that you've steeled yourself against other teams complaining about head shots/late hits/hits on defenseless receivers, and have come up with a litany of excuses to justify them. e.g., Williams hit on Williams, "a smarter player wouldn't do that."
