Let's not pull out the "Goodell's a Nazi" stuff when one of our guys actually screws up.

Was it $8K worse than Cam Newton's bumping of an official?? Cam only got $22K in fines so either Cam got off easy or Vince got shafted because in my book, Newton's action were far worse..

And if Wilfork had hit the guy in the lower back, there would have no fine. That precedent was set on the hit that ended up injuring Connolly.

So if Im correct this is the play he got fined for right?

Hasn't Vince already had a fine this year? It would explain the slightly steeper fine. We have no right to complain though. He's a leader, he should know better. Don't retaliate.

There was another incident where Jacksonville did a late hit and Vince came in and got some retaliation. It is good that he does this; we need an enforcer.

Rodney used to be our enforcer. I remember in a pre-season game some goon had a late hit on Brady. Next series Rodney destroyed their QB...
