I wonder if this hit had anything to do with the fine... like Goodell feeling as though he got away with one the first game in his eyes since Nate got hurt on the play.
No, that was just the definition of a clean hit. Goodell thinking he 'got away with ome' is a laughable notion fit for the most senile conspiracy theorist!*
Does the rule actually say "neck area"? If so what an absolutely horrible rule...
Is it? Did you see what happen to the Tulane safety Devon Walker? The slightest hit above the neck (friendly fire and it wasn't even hard), he broke his neck, suffered a fully collapsed lung and stopped breathing temporarily.
Your neck breaks, you risk paralysis or death. Yeah..terrible rule, just terrible
Clearly, you don't know what you are talking about. *The initial contact was with Doucet's SHOULDER. *You clearly don't know the difference between a shoulder and the neck. *
Do yourself a favor and learn the difference between the body parts before quoting rules you clearly don't understand. *
Mayo's hit was TEXTBOOK correct and your ignorance on the subject won't change that fact.
It was millimetres . Had Mayo just gone low, we wouldn't be debating it. His helmet made contact ABOVE. Go look the rule book up and stop being your usually, idiotic and dogmatic self. It's you who has no clue.
That's 'textbook'? I think you'll find NO coach wants his play tackling that high.
Deus isn't a homer. *YOU are blind. *The initial contact was in the shoulder area, not the neck. *Telling others to go read the rules when you clearly don't understand them yourself is the epitome of irony.
BTW, Here is the rulebook for you. *Go read it. *Let us know everything you don't understand so it can be explained to you in a way you might actually comprehend..*

Rule 12, Section 2 Article 7 (b)
If you actually read the rule, there is a note that says that INCIDENTAL contact is not prohibited. *ANd, at best, that is what happened. Incidental contact.
You've given me the same rule book I read, read a piece your deluded mind clicked on, and ignored all the stuff that proved me right. There was contact from Mayo's head/faceguard to the neck area of Doucet who was in a defenceless posture. Fine written all over it.
That was incidental contact? That was a deliberate hit. Incidental contact is when you accidentally run into him, not accidentally hit him from the neck or above
