he was spying Heinecke. You start an initial rush then fall back and spy the qb, in case he takes off running you are the man responsible for him.

Spying.

Players wear helmets and pads and then are fined when they hit each other. Weak.

Amazing isn’t it?!

The league is getting softer, weaker, and more inconsistent every year

What a bunch of crap. I called it crap at the time. It was a bang bang play. He was backing off.

Watch the dang refs today call everything on us.

The hit occurred out of bounds.

I think the hit itself was clean if it would have occurred on the field of play.

I agree. It was out of bounds. But he looked to be pulling up. Problem is he pulled up after the hit. Was a flag by the rule. Maybe could have not fined him. They threw a lot of fines on us this week. We played very physical and hoping we continue. Don’t back off now. I expect alot of flags today. Roughing on qb. And just flags because the player hit to hard.

“personal foul, umm because he hit him so hard. It scared me. 15 yards.. first down.”

How do they arrive at such odd fine amounts? $5,111? They all seem rather odd.

They are probably adding on a tax or fee.

 

[Aven8]

That’s expensive for a Hooker!

I believe they are a percentage of salaries

The original integrity of the game is the last thing on their mind.....lawyers and activists are now setting the NFL agenda

I remember when hits like this were featured on NFL highlight films. Now it's becoming a game of tag.

I'm all for player safety but to penalize and fine players for stuff like this is taking it too far. These are all well-compensated professionals that understand the risk they are taking by playing what is supposed to be a physical sport. If they don't want to be subjected to hits like this, nobody is forcing them to play football.
