It's funny that everyone think's there was nothing wrong with the hit because it was someone else's quarterback. A lot of people on this forum flipped out last season when Ramsey was clotheslined by Lance Briggs, even though it was technically a legal hit.

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.

I must say southpaw, grow a pair. Your bitching more then my brother the colts fan.

that being said Hurah for pressuring the QB im sorry that the line let 2 through and they hit manning within 2 secs if you look manning is going down and daniels is in mid tackle already. Now watch as the helmet flies off, a 10 i say. Dont get me wrong i am happy Manning didnt get hurt but he madea fine pretzel

I couldn't care less that he got folded up since he wasn't seriously hurt. I'm just questioning the double standard that is applied to football rules, when it's a Redskin that breaks them.

There's another good portion of fans that are parrots, firmly perched on Coach Gibbs' shoulder.

I never claimed to be in touch with the team, but when the head coach says his erratic, happy feet quarterback had an "excellent" game, it makes many people(fans, analysts, players, etc.) question what he's seeing.

And as far as what Gibbs needs to change; I'm going to be one of his parrots for a moment and say "I don't know".

dmek25 · 10-25-2006, 10:03 AM

I don't know if he was fined or not. My point was, when it happened to a Redskin, the majority of this forum flipped out and said it was illegal, should have been a penalty/fine, etc. When it's a Redskin making the hit, everything is fine.
