Helmet to helmet on Brady? Anyone? - New England Patriots Forums

I can't see where this occured on the play by play transcript but it was is the second half. The replay was shot from the skycam and the hit came from up the middle. Anyone able to confirm this?

Not crying sour grapes but if there IS a so called Brady rule, shouldn't it apply when we play the Colts too?

I definitely saw it too. If only Brady could have jerked his head like Henne they might have called it, but he was trying to keep upright so he could see the play. Definite helmet to helmet.

But its the Colts defense. They never do anything wrong..

I saw it - another brutal call.

Seriously, the Colts get the calls in their stadium against us. I hate sounding like a homer so badly, but this is 3 games now its been pretty one-sided.

saw it, multiple times too

I knew that we'd be whining about every little thing today.

I know what you play you're all talking about, but the Colts player didn't hit Brady's head. It was more of a helmet to the chest, with the top of the Colts player's helmet going just below Brady's chin. Brady's head went back a little, but not because of being hit with the Colts player's helmet. It was just the force of the impact.

I didn't have a big problem with that call, but Brady was hit low on several occasions. None were called.

I dont think the officating was THAT one sided. you could argue one maybe two calls but thats it. Stop bellyaching about the refs. If you complain one week about a penalty ebing called then dont complain the next when it isn't.

So in other words, the same type of hit as Chung's last week?

I saw two hits to Brady's head, kind of annoyed me they weren't called ...

I'm glad someone brought this up. This is the exact hit Chung had on Henne, but he got the ball away so the focus of the play wasn't on the hit. There should be a fine if that's truly the standard the NFL has set.
