#2. was that the one that caused the fumble? I didnt see the game, just read some recap of it.
That and players that are advancing the ball towards or past the line of scrimmage that can move and lower their pads and change levels, they are considered runners as they are looking at the defensive players. The ones the NFL wants to stop is all these shots on Receivers who are watching the ball, or QBS who are looking down field at their receivers in the pocket, which I agree with. I dont like helmet to helmets and dont want to see players that cant talk when they retire...has James Harrison been a dirty player, yes..has he deserved some of the fines, yes....does he hate the browns, yes...is he trying to duck under a gray area here, maybe...but sad to say the NFL has still allowed these gray areas to exist.
gotcha, I need to watch a highlight of this, seems to be a pretty big topic.
I saw that too. Man the guy is just slam full of class and humility.
This is what I read that he said:
Then he went and did this:
You can keep up your BS with putting words in peoples mouths.......
My exact quote -
and then after YOUR remark....
LOL ya gotta love when people are begging to find a team to beat Tebow even one time. Too funny.

Not fighting, just correcting
even this article talks about runners and how they are exempt from Helmet to Helmet...Look Personally I hope the guy does get fined, as I said before myself and several other Steelers fans are tired of the 15 yard penalties, but I also think there are areas where the NFL can change its rules a bit to make sure people are protected.

Now onto this supposed fight, people kept saying that ALL helmet to helmet hits are illegal no matter the player, and that is just not the case...somehow that has gotten twisted into me supporting James Harrison, sorry that isnt the case..I am a steelers fan yes, a huge one, but also I am no dummy and do know the game of football...I LOVE a good smash mouth football game...not a dirty one sorry.
I love all the excuses I read in this thread lmao!!! We get all the penalties called,they're giving the opponent the penalties against us,the commissioner is always picking on my team. Blah blah blah lmao!!!! Hilarious. Not trying to offend anyone but it's just too funny. That's like me making up excuses why Miami is 4-9 or whatever the record is. We're losing because we stink. No conspiracy theories here
I nominate this for Post of the Year!!!
Sooooooooooo true!!!

I think the ball was already coming out before the facemask, but it would have been an interesting call.
What I said on Friday is that NOT all helmet to helmet hits are illegal. An example is when a runner lowers his head to pick up a few more yards. But that obviously was not the case here...Harrison launched the crown of his helmet into McCoy's FACEMASK...so McCoy obviously did not lower his helmet.
One day when Harrison paralyzes or kills someone, we'll wish he was suspended earlier in his career for using the crown of his helmet as a weapon.

Getting so frustrated at my Cowboys. We should have won the last two games but no we gave up the lead too many times.
This has been typical of them to start okay and finish the season by losing. It's been this way since the '97 season.

hmm There are others then who have wrote and said ALL helmet to helmet hits are illegal and thats what I am trying to say is they arent, and I even pulled out the cribbs thing as a example of it...anyways...yes I do agree he shouldnt be using it as a weapon...there are a couple other players that toe that line as well....and then there is suh who uses his whole body as a weapon not a tool
Ahh well, here is my question of the day....Think San Diego has a shot at upsetting the Ravens?

That blow up was pretty bad last night, Poor play and Poor coverages in the last two minutes...I think they started celebrating a bit early.
Now if you back up the play a few more frames, you'll see that till the last second, he had NO INTENTION of throwing the ball, thus he was a runner ....
Once again, I'm not condoning Harrison or the H2H plays at all.
In the end I think the NFL will either decide that YES he was a runner when Harrison was taking him down or no he wasn't.
If they decide he was a runner till the last second, Harrison will get fined, if they decide that we was a (defenseless qb ... :cry
then he'll get suspended.

What about the 2 in the Raiders game? Thank GOD this game was not close.
1) They brought out the Tuck Rule...after the Raiders recovered the fumble and where called for a chop block which was called to prevent a TD. So, since they called the Tuck Rule, it negated the run AND the penalty. When it happened, it was 3rd and 15 at the Raiders 19. Then, suddenly, how does GB get it 1st and goal at the 4?!
2) Opening 2nd half kickoff, they have a long kickoff to the Raiders' 45. Video CLEARLY show he had more than half of a foot out of bounds almost ... HueJax throws the challenge flag and suddenly, the replay booth is not working and they were told to accept the call on the field. WTF?!
I understand the chances were slim and none they come back...but seriously?
