Why isn't that hit on Downs a penalty?

Because it was a clean, hard, legal hit.

With all of the rules changes that are stacking the deck against defensive players, fans are conditioning themselves into thinking any time that a receiver goes down from contact that it's a penalty.

I disagree, he had scored and the hit was late!

He hit him immediately after he touched the ball, which is legal.

If that were a Colts defender making the same exact play, I doubt that you would be up in arms as to why he wasn't called for a penalty. There was no complaint on the Colts' sidelines about that hit.

It was close, but on the slo-mo replay, you can see that Downs got three feet down before the hit. That's not immediate.

For fucks sake, that's a flag every play

Our defense is so soft right now.....I know we have injuries but good golly.

In real-time, it was immediate. They don't play in slow-motion.

If you're advocating for a penalty that would help the Colts in the short run, then you are also advocating for the game to be even more watered-down than it already is in the long run. The Colts didn't complain, and the announcers didn't suggest that it was a penalty ...... just a Colts fan looking for a break for their team.
