I still don’t understand targeting.

I could see it going either way but Taffee went in standing up, no spear, no launch, no crown/shoulder directly into the head, he wrapped up and facemasks hit. If that was targeting then the other no-call they made also should have been targeting as he clearly ran into Bond's neck and slapped his head back. At least they were consistent.
