In the Eagle/Seahawks game Sunday 1/5 why was no call make when Clowny hit Wentz helmet to helmet? No roughing the passer nothing. I thought the rules were to protect the players not throw the game. Bad call. Changed the game. Something should be done to rectify the call because it encourages other players to do the same next time. Hit quarterback on the head take him out we got the game.

I am not even an Eagles fan however when a quarterback has a helmet to helmet contact resulting in a concussion and removal of that quarterback from the game and no penalty call is made that is a problem regarding fairness. It seems to me that this incident resulted in a probable win for the Seahawks. Therefore I believe there should be some kind of consequence for the team responsible. Possibly a game suspension for the player responsible for the injury. At a time when the NFL is working so hard to protect the quarterback it is unfortunate that this serious infraction was missed by the referees. It became obvious when the quarterback was removed from the game that this infraction was made. Then why not look at the replay and then make the call and issue the proper penalty. This resulted in the Eagles loosing their starting quarterback and effected the outcome of the game.

Referee Mr. Shawn Smith and his officiating crew and upstairs play reviewers shouldn’t be officiating nfl games. The play involving Clowney’s late targeted helmet to helmet tackle on quarterback Wenz was textbook clear. There is no excuse for the non call which was a deciding factor in the wildcard game. No review from upstairs, and no regard for the players and fans. The last two years of nfl games were the poorest officiated I’ve seen in my lifetime.

The hit on Carson Wentz was punishable by ejection yet a flag was never thrown. I’m baffled by this. You should be fined.
