Why does blocking in the back seem so common on big plays? Is it really that hard for blockers to not block someone when they can read the name on the jersey?

Or see their team mate nearly in the end zone 5 yards past the player they are going to block !!!!

It is so commonplace that it just amazes me. Apparently, some.....no, a LOT.....of players have a little.......no, a LOT of trouble THINKING while they're playing. :doh: :dispntd:

If committed by your team. But not, if committed by the other team.

Hahaha.........I can see how that would be true in some people's minds. Most of the time if you'll go back and look at replays you'll see that the refs get it right at least 95% of the time, though, not to mention there could be other possible penalties that are missed.
