Anyone else notice the helmet to helmet hit in Broncos-Pats?

It was a good call and not because the guy hadn't become a runner but what I found interesting and worthy of being butthurt over was that Simms, Nantz, and the retired referee dude never brought up his if he had been a runner the hit would have been okay. Nope, they even said "once the helmet makes contact with another helmet, it's a penalty." I was like, "Oh really? That's not what you said two weeks ago."

I just laughed when I heard it. This whole "player safety" thing is the biggest load of crap the NFL has ever tried to feed the fans. 5 identical hits in 5 identical situations and you'd be lucky if 2 of them result in the same flag/no flag, Fine/No Fine or league saying was illegal/or not illegal. They have no clue what they are doing. If it was about player safety, they'd take away the helmets and with that it would end the guys talking with their heads down and spearing.
