Reed fined again

Sure looked like a great hit/separation attempt to me. I checked it again on YouTube to make sure I saw it right. There's a funny but true title on one of the videos: "Pussification of NFL Continues".

My question is this: Why would ANYONE want to be a defensive player nowadays? You're a young kid and you're deciding what you want to be, at least in football terms. Would you want to be a defender with the current rules? You're gonna pay me a million a year to cover receivers? Fine, are you also going to reimburse me for all the fines they give me for playing the way I was taught?

The hit Chancellor had on Vernon Davis last week was legit. The penalty should never have been assessed.

It's getting to the point where these randomly-called penalties are affecting the games. Replay is showing that the calls are wrong as often as not. Right now, a coach can not challenge a penalty call, but perhaps the league should consider allowing that, particularly on some of these "judgement" calls.

It was a riotous hit give him back his money and fine the ref that threw the flag

As much as I detest anything Ratbird, I watched the hit on youtube and it is clean, nothing dirty, nothing worthy of a penalty let alone a $55,000.00 fine...

<I threw up a little in my mouth typing that>

the hit was not flag worthy, let alone fine worthy.

NFL has turned into flag football ....Reeds shoulder pads clearly hit the players body and helmet... Reed didnt lead with his helmet!!!

Then we are agreed. It was a bogus call and a bogus fine. Now who brought the whiskey?
