3rivers Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 do you think this deserved a fine? I didn't even see the problem with he block. The league is getting carried away and is ruining the game more each week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETSGOBROWNIES Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 He definitely led with his head, but.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Trace Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Deserved. It was pretty much the definition of "spearing" from what I saw... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I truly believe the 2018 season should be the benchmark between modern and post-modern NFL. PPG all time high, highest QB completion %'s, 9 QBs on pace for 5000 yards, and the hitting of the QB is non-existent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, we should set up a GoFundMe to cover the costs. I'm quickly becoming a fan of Nelson, even though he's a division foe. I get the lowering of the head, but c'mon, this is football.

AFlaccoSeagulls Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Man that rule sucks when you look at plays like this. But it's there for a reason, and as much as it sucks, you can make that block - that exact same block - without lowering your head and "leading" with your helmet.

Yeah, it's the kind of hit that doesn't look like a big deal at first look in real time, but I get the fine for it because that sort of unnecessary lowering of the head is what they need to be stopping.

Bobikus Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 He's practically staring at the ground at the moment of contact. That isn't textbook anymore. edit: That said the Colts should pay his fine for him since the NFL wouldn't have noticed that if not for the doctored video of the hit lol.

I don't know what this league is expecting, they are ruining it for fans How is this specific situation ruining it for the fans? He was not flagged and the fine came later from the league office. It didn't affect the outcome of the game and what's in Nelson's bank account doesn't affect football fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
