Oooo, ooooo - I did! I did!Did anyone notice the Face Guarding/PI that happened during the "Phantom QB Roughing" call?
At 6:11 in the 3rd, Kpassagnon is held while closing in on Rodgers, who throws incomplete from the end zone. An OL hooks him around the shoulder while also clutching and stretching his jersey, altering his momentum and forcing him to the ground. My understanding is not only is that holding, but should have been a safety.
There is no face guarding rule in the NFL. Your DBs can have their backs to the QB and in the receivers face. What you can’t do is put your hands all over the receiver (which is what the Packers DB was doing). He literally had both hands on the shoulders of the Saints receiver (Johnson maybe?). So it was illegal.
AND if you watch the replay it’s fairly clear the Packers DB (Savage) trapped the ball on the INT. He didn’t have his hands under the ball, he had the end of the football and the tip clearly touches the ground. He used his chest and the ground to keep the ball from moving. If the Packers hadn’t been called for roughing Payton would have challenged and there’s decent shot it would’ve been overturned.

Right, and Winston's feet came totatly from under him. It was like he levitated in the air, flat on his back.Under the rules when Aikman joined the league back in the 1980s, yeah the roughing call was junk.
But it was correct under the current rules for roughing the passer.

You don't have to Siragusa-style drive your weight through the QB into the ground anymore. It is enough that you unnecessarily throw the QB down just after he has thrown the ball, and that happened on that play.
We all know that the rules have changed, and we don't have to like it, but these are today's rules. I want Jameis Winston to be protected just as much as Tom Brady is protected.
But if you’re the Rams in a playoff game against the Saints you can face guard then tackle with head to head contact a Saints WR 3 seconds before ball arrives without ever looking back.without ever looking backThere is no face guarding rule in the NFL.
