The fact that they are actually discussing that this would be a penalty is unbelievable to me.
Literally no defender could ever stop thinking the QB will slide short of the goal there.
This has got to be one of the worst penalty calls ive ever seen.
This is disgusting. There is literally no possible way. Targeting. Wow
Correct, there is no legal way to defend the quarterback slide at the goal line, because you don't know they aren't going to dive, and when they are low, they only place you can hit them is the head/neck area (which is level with the ball on a slide), and the only way to stop them at the goal line is with a forceable hit.
So at that point, you have to instruct your players to just let them in, you have already given up the td at this point.
Unless I am missing something?
And yes, I think qb should not be allowed to slide at goal line because of this conflict in the rules.
Look for a rule change after this play next year....
