The roughing call wasn't a bad call, its a stupid rule. What's a defender to do, Olympic level gymnastics mid tackle to avoid landing on a QB? And risk injury to himself in the process? The rule was added to stop defenders driving QBs into the ground deliberately, not simply making tackles.

I was watching on Redzone so I missed a lot, but from what I saw the pass rush was basic and all about collapsing the pocket, not freeing up defenders to get to the QB. No twists, stunts etc. JDR has 0 innovation.
