No fine for Harry Douglas

Titans (and former Falcons) receiver Harry Douglas was not fined, suspended or otherwise disciplined by the NFL for the dive he took at the knees of Broncos CB Chris Harris.

Not Panthers related, you say?

I beg to differ.

Cam Newton has taken some pretty egregious hits this season and they've gone largely unpunished. But the shot Douglas took at Harris was easily one of the worst things I've seen this season.

Karma for the Broncos? Maybe. But it brings up a question.

If the NFL won't even punish that, then what can we expect to happen the next time someone takes a shot at our quarterback, or any other player for that matter?

The league is out of control with what they're allowing goons to get away with. And frankly, I'm pretty disgusted by it.

What i don't get is how people are saying its a legal hit? I was watching a sports show where they were saying that he made the play all by the rule book. 

It was legal.  You can play dirty and legal.  Most players would never dream of taking that shot.  Most respect the game enough and profession enough to not go for a guys knees....knees are the biggest concern to most guys.  Cam probably would choose a headshot over a knee shot

Even if you don't like Talib this just allows an open season on players across the league...we don't want or need that...

Well what was illegal about it? It was dirty as hell but how can the league punish a low block?  He hit him from the front.  

Knees aren't off limits 

As we have seen the league can do what it wants...fine him and let the players Assoc deal with it...

The NFL is a league that has sanctioned Thursday night football, pushed for 18 games seasons, and shied away from CTE- what makes you think they care about player safety? The NFL is a business, and operate accordingly to that principle: $Money$. I am a Panthers fan- not a fan of the league. I loved when Al Davis stuck it to the league when he was alive. It's kind of ridiculous that we have the shield at midfield when the League could care less. This will continue so you might as well get used to it.

Still have to state what the fine is for...

I'm not defending the NFL.  There isn't a way to call it an illegal hit.  But no player wants to take that shot

      Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.

      I wake up this morning full of rage towards Ronald McDonald Rivera / Gettleman / Hurney

      I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us.

      From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
