Making contact to the QB’s facemask with your hand while trying to tip a pass needs to not be a penalty. That is just so ticky tac and soft. Sure, if it’s late as hell, then flag it like any contact. But if it’s bang-bang, let it go. 

There is a line to cross in terms player protection and maintaining football as a contact sport. No one is gonna get a concussion from an open hand to the facemask. 🤦‍♂️

it’s just bs that QBs are so protected from contact in a contact sport.

No. Facemask penalty is grabbing the facemask. I'm talking about when a defender's hand comes down (open hand) and contacts a QB's facemask after trying to swat the ball (without grabbing the facemask). It is the weakest penalty in football.

If the facemask is hit and not grabbed it is not a facemask penalty. Have you watched football before?
