Anyway, the only thing that angers me a little is that it was unprovoked.  However, I stood behind Pacman only deserving a fine, so I stand there on this one too.

On a side note, I was once ejected for slobberknocking a guy for doing something similar to my QB years ago....

(10-12-2015, 01:50 PM)SHRacerX Wrote: You must not have seen his first hit on Dalton.  It was a blind shot in the back, and that is a blatant penalty, which was missed.  The fact that he went after him after knocking him down and hit him several more times isn't so much my issue.  I don't think that video captured the initial hit.  I forget which site showed the whole video.

Perhaps more importantly to those that determine fines, etc. is what if this hit or hits, I should say, were on Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, or Andrew Luck?

Remember we got over on Pacman being allowed to remove his helmet on the field as well. That should be a flag10/10 times.

But then again Pacman didn't call fair catch and with that return we could've came back quicker.


Refs have to find the line between enforcing the game and changing it. They changed the game today and it was annoying
