That was clearly a "leading with the helmet", intent to injure-type "tackle" on Brady yesterday. I was VERY surprised to see no flag, but the refs could've been blocked from seeing it. On video, it was clearly a penalty and fineable, IMO, by the league....

I thought it may be worthy of 'leading with the helmet' but who knows. As for intent-to-injure, I wouldn't go that far. Brady was stretching to make a play and Ingram did what he was supposed to do.

I really don't think so.....He was making a run and dove head frist.....Don't get me wrong......nothing can happen to Tom.......It show how Tom know how to MAN UP.......GO PATS!!!!!!

It clearly was spearing, a 15-yard penalty. The refs simply missed it.

Johnny Mac

Absolutely.

Not only fined substantially but dealt with on the field as well.

It's worth reviewing but my initial reaction was that it was a legal hit.

Brady was taking a major chance - he wasn't in the pocket and therefore better "protected" by the rules - he wasn't sliding and taking the safe route - he was a defacto RB going for the first down.

Unfortunate that he turned the way he did with his back exposed but there's nothing wrong with a head first diving tackle - and it would have been near impossible for Ingram to stop his momentum/diving through the air at that point in time.

I would counter with 'fortunate' that he did turn and didn't take that hit on his throwing arm/elbow.

I think this could have been an 'unnecessary roughness' call, but as much as it pisses me off, I'd prefer that nothing be done about it off the field.

Absolutely spearing...and the refs missed it..TOTALLY!! Does anyone think that if Rodney hit Garrard like that a flag would not go up immediately?? The refs basically are pitiful..and embarrassing AGAIN..as they are it seems ALL the time now..
