for late hit on Rodgers, does anyone have video on this hit?

ChezPower4 · 11-19-2008, 02:31 PM

That's now 75,000 dollars for Allen in two weeks ouch

I can't stand the new NFL.
No one is allowed to hit anyone anymore.
Kawika Mitchell hit Jason Wright while he was still in bounds. Wright fell over and slid into the Bills' bench. The ref threw the flag after he was on the ground for a few seconds. There was absolutely no way that it should have been a penalty. It just pisses me off that the NFL is taking out all the hitting.

Rodgers is such a puss.

He has played all pretty much season long with a sprained shoulder( While being statistical a top 10 QB might I add), what a puss.

Hasnt Allen gotten in trouble numerous time for some pretty dirty hits?

niel89 · 11-19-2008, 05:20 PM

is this the hit?

comahan · 11-19-2008, 02:58 PM

Shocking.

* Weeps at the thought of watching Sage QB our team for another month. *

Damn you, Jared Allen!

Thank you Roger for only a Fine.

I think with all the finest the NFL has collected this year, they've matched the Florida Marlins payroll!

Roger Goodell was probably a fairy when he was younger. Does he know that there's football and there's flag football. And they exist seperately. The league has turned into rough touch, and it sucks.

I went back and watched the hit again. It was definitely an easy call; almost a full second after Rodgers released the ball, Allen lowered his head and made a helmet-to-helmet hit knocking Rodgers to the ground. The flag was definitely deserved, but I'm not sure if it was a $25,000 hit.

He barely hit him, helmet to helmet? If helmets did touch it was a rub or something cause u clearly see him try to pull back. I dont see why he was fined, flag was deserved but fined? Rogers did a nice job acting though, he must watch a lot of spurs games.

I was going to agree, but if you play back the tape like 10 or so times on the replay, you can see that Allens helmet snapped Rogers helmet back.

Flag? Yes, Fine? No more than 5-10k.

The amount makes sense. This is not the first time that Allens been fined due to late or illegal hits.

tjsunstein · 11-19-2008, 05:21 PM

Yea, that's the one.

niel89 · 11-19-2008, 05:22 PM

it was dumb to go for the hit that late. the ball was clearly gone.

Vikes99ej · 11-19-2008, 05:23 PM

I love Jared Allen.

Menardo75 · 11-19-2008, 05:28 PM

Late hit flag worthy yes. Fine worthy no.

What isn't fine worthy this year?

BuddyCHRIST · 11-19-2008, 06:03 PM

I don't have any real problems with that because he did lead with his helmet. Who was it on the Vikings that hit Jeff Garcia last week, about 3 seconds after he threw the ball and hit him right in the helmet, that was a hit that deserves a fine and a suspension.

Ray Edwards but he is mentally challenged so it is alright.

HawkeyeFan · 11-20-2008, 10:58 AM

Wow...That's all I have to say.

He was BARELY hit and not even helmet to helmet, or below the knee or whatever.

I constantly see Bulger take bigger hits after the play and nothings ever flagged yet FINES involved.

That's the most rediculous fine I've ever seen.

Yeah, late it, fine, it was. But fine worthy? That's effin' dumb.

Wow. I'm dumbfound.

Rodgers isn't even Tom Brady, I could see a fine like that for Brady just because he's the NFL's baby, but that shouldn't have EVER been fined.

/end rant

i think he was fined due to a cheap shot or two earlier in the season where he hit a QB below the legs.

The Dynasty · 11-19-2008, 05:33 PM

When I first saw this i thought of good ol Randy Moss

Yeah well with the NFL is being this year im surprised it wasnt a suspension...got to protect the qb.
