Man I would love to see Barry Church rock this punk. It would be well worth the fine and 15 yard penalty.

I know I'm in the clear minority on that play, but I had almost no problem with that block. He might have hit the helmet, but, otherwise, he came in low, and square up in Lee's chest, and Lee just didn't see him because he was so focussed on the Wilson. It was a brutal hit, but a great block and, mostly, just football.
Sam Hurd slobberknocked the hell out of Adam Archuletta when Dallas played the Bears in like 2007 and I'd bet anything it was loved by nearly all on this board.

My only issue with the hit is not one teammate rallied to derail Tate's excitement for potentially injuring a Cowboy. The team just doesn't seem to understand or care about the humiliation the entire organization- owner,coaches, players AND fans has endured since the end of the triplet era- its prevalent in opposing team's celebrations, in penalty statistics, and media coverage. It's ok to endlessly Cowboy bash- because no one sticks up for themselves on this ballclub in forever.

Came in low? He came up under his helmet. If you see the image of the contact he comes right in under his chin. I love brutality in my sports as much as the next guy but that's cheap. I don't really want to see players with fractured jaws coming off the field after some undersized receiver felt the need to show how tough he is by throwing a cheap block.
That being said, i'm incredibly disappointed in how we responded. Seattle beat us up that game and we just took it.
if the hit was a cowboy on a seahawk it wouldn't be a big deal. it was pretty clean to me.
