Peppers fined 10k for the Ryan helmet hit...

Exactly, you dumb piece of shit. Peppers hasn't even hit him yet and Ryan's head is back. How could that be because of Peppers if he hadn't touched him yet?

 

I just saw a highlight of the worst roughing call ever, the back of Terrell Suggs's hand grazed Kerry Collins' helmet, which kept Tennessee's game winning drive going.

 

Wonder if that was Ed Hercules, as well?

Yeah, it's just a horrendous rule and needs to be fixed, otherwise we might as well have quarterbacks wear red jerseys and have the ref blow the whistle when they're about to be touched.

 

I wonder how long it will be before the players realize that it's easier to get fined for hitting QBs in the head than for hitting them in the knee.

It seems the league is starting to really push for flags when the QB is hit in the head regardless of how hard. Only an idiot would try to say those hit were malicious (enter Kiansdad).

 

That's the great thing about officials. Just as you think you've seen the worst call ever, they prove you wrong. They picked up a flag on a punt return for a TD during the Redskins-Eagles game yesterday. They said #50 couldn't have illegally pushed in the back because he was on the punt team. The replay showed that not only was a #50 on the punt team and was the one pushed in the back, but a #50 was also on the return team and was the one that made the illegal block. #50 illegally blocked #50 and that somehow confused the officals to the point of picking up the flag. Yeah, Buck, Aikman and myself didn't understand it either.

 

I E-MAILED ED H. AND HE WROTE THIS BACK. Just goes to show you - it was a foul. I know Panther fans don't want to admit I was right, but the fine demonstrates that not only was it a foul, but it was so bad that it warranted a $10,000 fine. That's the rule - it's very specific - no conta9t to the head of the QB. And whether a shoulder made contact is irrelevant.

 

I rember 1 game where Moose caught the ball in the endzone. then they said he fumbled it. but if you have possion in the endzone thats a TD. So how the fuck do you fumble in endzone without being a score?
