You can see the clips yourself. At the time I thought it was a personal foul for sure and ejection worthy, but the gameday thread didn't think so. What I saw was Forbes lower his head as he was approaching Lockett and leave his feet.

But I didn't stay at a Holiday Express this whole year.

I've only seen the one clip and it doesn't look like he launched at all. It looked like a clumsy attempt to lead with his shoulder and Lockett ducks into it. Yes, I guess it's a PF by rule as its H2H, but its not deliberate and its not targeting as he didnt lead with his helmet, let alone the crown. Certainly not an ejection.

OTOH I simply can't understand why defenders aren't coached (or coach themselves) to make good tackles. Too many missed tackles going for a hit that lead to big gains (and I'd find it embarrassing lying on the floor with the ball carrier running off downfield). Winning the game is more important than one potential highlight reel.

Lets all be honest that ejection hurt the Seahawks more then us

Lol. Seriously. Are we really acting like Forbes would have made a difference?

he would have helped the Seahawks; epically if JDR had put him on DK

That was my feeling too.
