Reserve sitting out 2+ quarters for a second offense. I understand wanting to keep players safe, but I highly doubt players are going to target more if they know they only have to sit out the rest of the possession.
hit on Tori Hunter that wasn't called and the review people didn't change it either. That was malicious. I know, I know more subjectivity but in that case it should have been a half.
Personal foul for non-obvious targeting with a warning and ejection if a second hit occurs. Blatant targeting is immediate removal from the game and possible suspension after a post-game review

Call the penalty if you will but stopping the game sucks and then making someone make a call on a suspension with a 1 minute time crunch isn't right.

Back when there were incidental and intentional face mask penalties (5 and 15 yards respectively), there were many a referee who would happily use his interpretation of the situation to suit his biases. I remember one defender desperate to tackle Rocket Ismail grabbing him by the face mask, and yanking his head back. The referee called it an incidental one, even though it was clear that he should have been called for the 15 yard variety.
That same game, it was either Pat Terrell or Du'an Francisco who had brushed his hand against a player's face mask, and that same ref gave a 15 yard penalty.
I don't like the "15 yard penalty for all face mask infractions" since sometimes, a ball carrier's head can dip down and brush against a would-be tackler's hand, but because of biases, it appears that there's no other choice, since they don't want to hurt that one ref's feelings.
I liken this to another masking situation to another, where at Amherst College in Massachusetts, students have the option of not using masks in the classrooms. However, if one student claims that he / she is uncomfortable and wants to mask up, then everyone has to use face masks...

s begin teaching hitting with the crown of the helmet, tackling the ear hole, tackling high.
Many targeting penalties are wrong, many are correct. If Bertrand weren’t penalized he should have been pulled for being a dumbass.
Lead with the crown and you risk serious injury to yourself and others. And, a targeting penalty. Just stop doing it.
Bobby Humphreys ear pad went flying like a party streamer..Madden explains thats football...the game is safer now ..hopefully less people people like strelzyk and Winslow Jr in the future..tua should hang it up too.
