Ive never seen a referee intervene while the ball is in play. When did you see that?

I don't see how this isn't a bigger deal right now honestly.

It’s got to the point where the refs are ready to fight for Tom Brady pic.twitter.com/2XHAq7Ehxp

This really is ridiculous. If Brady wants to go get involved in the tackle he’s fair game to get pancaked. https://t.co/nnLmnmNBVd

No wonder @TomBrady wants to play forever. Half his games feel like a scrimmage. #TooEasy

Only Brady gets a referee to try to protect him when the ball is still live. https://t.co/dD7gOGppvF

It just get worse and worse as the season goes on

People will find any excuse to bash Brady. Ref stepped in between 2 players shoving each other. Same way he'd do to any 2 players. They exchanged words, ref heard it, saw the shoving, dealt with it.

That's a bullshit rule you have to assume everyone on the field is trying to make a play on the ball. He's eligible to make a tackle so he should be eligible to be blocked.

That's not how it works. Per the lame rules, until/unless he actively tried to tackle, the QB is still considered a defenseless player. Technically the eagles player could've been called for roughing the passer here since he started shoving early. The ref let it slide.
