Well when you hitting their franchise QB three yards out of bounds one could argue they are backing their QB. I don't think I would have a problem if one of our players went after someone who made a late hit like that.

I didn't think the hit was even that bad. We saw one of our guys get slammed out of bounds a few weeks ago and no flag was even thrown.

I agree.
Landry launched right as Ryan was pulling up and about to step out, what makes it so bad is that if Landry had just changed his angle and launched a second sooner, it would have been a clean hit. Instead he was a second late, and on the wrong angle and hit Ryan out of bounds. It happens, you get a penalty and move on, there was no need for the ATL bench to clear and mob Hall.

funny how NOBODY went anywhere near Landry (who made the hit) and instead targeted D. Hall. Hall must have been over there talkin' smack. Matt Ryan went back on the field right next to Landry and they seemed ok with each other. My point being, the late hit, and the ensuing scuffle seemed almost like 2 seperate issues.
