With the rules protecting the quarterback these days, you can't do much more than sneeze in a quarterbacks direction if he doesn't have the ball. Manning was folded in half, and had his helmet ripped off. The fact that it was a couple of Redskins that did it doesn't make it legal.

Okay well i wasn't here when everyone went crazy over the Ramsey hit. Now I'm guessing that you are saying that I'm saying it was legal just because the Skins were on the "winning" side of the hit. It honestly doesn't matter who did it I'm looking at the hit itself. It wasn't late. There were about 3 guys tackling the same guy. It happens all the time, you see running backs twisted up more than that. Peyton got sandwiched between some big guys who are all trying to tackle him. His legs got caught up and yes his helmet did come off but did someone grab his helmet ? I don't remember seeing that. Did any of those guys come in late ? It was unfortunate like I said that he got twisted up like that but it was not illegal. It looked bad and the thing is that folks look at how painful it must have been and are assuming roughing because it was a painful tackle, not illiegal though.
