Bissainthe bomb on Cal's QB

[Hold My Beer]

Stewart Mandel from the Athletic weighs in:

ACC replay officials got it right in overturning Virginia Tech’s last-second Hail Mary in Week 5, but they inexplicably whiffed on a missed targeting call that would have kept a Cal drive alive, up 38-31, with 1:46 left. Instead, the Bears (3-2, 0-2) punted, and Ward had his team in the end zone five plays later.

Hey dip****, watch the video. Mendoza DIPS HIS HEAD after Bissainthe takes off to make the tackle. If the QB stays upright, he gets hit in the upper arm/shoulder area.

The QB is no longer a defenseless player anymore when he is running.

 

[JHallCanes]

They’ve done a better job with targeting lately. When it first became a thing they called everything

Wasn’t targeting but I still thought they were gonna call it anyway

 

[Hold My Beer]

It was like a boxer walking into a left hook.

If Mendoza, bless his heart, had stayed upright he wouldn't have taken that shot in the head/neck area.

He started to curl up to avoid the hit but it was too late

Good call, better hit. It’s a great day to be a Miami Hurricane !

Wes got lucky. He dipped his head which could have been called. At the same time, he had lots of shoulder and arm involved in the hit.

Mendoza sold that hit like a WWE wrestler

Str8 fvcked that boy UP!!!! And I loved it.

I f*cking hate the targeting rule and have despised it since day 1. It’s too subjective and when you hear words like “He launched, a defenseless player” you’ve lost the plot of playing football.

The same Gen Z snot nosed punk who came up with targeting also invented the new NFL kickoff rule. If you want to be a defenseless player don’t play football. What happened to the standard personal foul calls on the field?

 

[ajkreider]

No idea whether it was the right call, because I don't know how many times I've yelled "that targeting" (or not) at the TV and it's been ruled the other way - for teams all over the country.

But this is such a lame complaint. It's not like it was a PI that wasn't called (or was) - or a BS holding that brings back a TD. This had ZERO impact on the game itself.

Stop the whining ("whinging" to Cal's British fans).

Wasnt even hurt, all flop..

Idk I can admit it’s iffy. But I fully believe you can’t call that penalty at that time of the game. Defenseless player is one thing. Final minutes a guy running, dudes are playing ball. They made the right decision.

Did you see him afterwards? Dude was just chilling on the sidelines like nothing happened. I was like ohhhh this guy did some good acting on the ground cause he knew he was short and was hoping to get that call.

If the game wasnt on the line, they would have called it. Kudos to the refs for letting the game be decided on the field. They knew the ramifications of calling targeting on that..the game basically is over..That hit wasnt some ridiculous helmet on helmet bone crushing hit that basically would have forced their hand. It was "bang bang" play.

Brock is a B*tch. An announcer should never want a result in a game

When he's got a strange bout of depression in 30-40 years, he can thank Wes for it.

 

[firstandcanes]

It was a great no call. No way can you let that call determine a game unless it is clearly obvious, that wasn't.

 

[CANEMC]

It's called FOOTBALL. Great hit.

Nature Boy Ric Flair got some great acting lol. You ever seen the Scott Hall one where he takes the stunner from Stone Cold? Classic bumping stuff right there
