Bighill and Lawler comments re refs are interesting. good to see.
"Adam Bighill also wasn’t happy about the unnecessary roughness penalty he was assessed late in the third quarter for what looked like a clean hit on Keon Hatcher.
“The guy who threw a flag was on the exact opposite side of the collision, who could not clearly see where I hit him, how I hit him. The fact is, he threw a penalty because I hit the player hard. This is what football is, so I would like there to be a little bit more clarity and absolute precision in a call. Just because someone gets hit hard doesn’t mean a flag needs to come out,” said Bighill."

that was a great tackle, and a terrible call. reminded me of some of the penalties buff used to get.
Bighill was punishing B.C. but good, holy crap what ( clean) hits.
