No fine for Harry Douglas

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 

Exactly. 

In every sport there are a few rules that fall into the "legal but not necessarily acceptable" category. 

Most times it comes down to mutual respect. 

I personally thought there was some intent behind that block but at the same time, there is  a part of me feels like the he and the Broncos got a little taste of their own medicine. Sometimes medicine does you good.

The NFL is very concerned about player safety, guys.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No, really...

 

Now it would not surprise me one bit if the League didn't try to make a rule around this. It is difficult to come up with a rule on a play that doesn't happen. I mean, has anyone seen a play like this before? But yeah, now they can do something about this type of play.

 

There would be no Tuck rule, or faking an injury to save a TO if they hadn't happened. Once they do happen, there ya go. New rule.

 

Or...I could be totally wrong once again.

I'm pretty sure KB took a shot to the knee from one of their DB during the game this year.  They are dirty.  If the league won't do anything about their cheap shots, it was only a matter of time before players did.  

 

Dirty dirty dirty "legal" block.  Should of been on Stewart instead though.

    • 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 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.
