Talib was a certifiable idiot. He should have gone down immediately, or at least immediately stepped out of bounds. To run with the ball was crazy, risking injury.

Seriously, this is getting ridiculous. Unless it's a blatant foul or somebody gets hurt, I think the NFL should bag the fines. It's football for cripes sake. That's what the in-game penalties are for.
Sports fines are ridiculous, if you're going to fine them at least make it worth it.
So they'll fine Dennard 20k, he makes like 50 times that a year (I assume). It's spare chance to him.
UEFA fined Celtic £4k for having fireworks in the stadium, the same week they made £4 million from ticket sales! Completely pointless

Smith threw 3 INTS in that game and Sanchez has been a leader in coughing the football up. Mangold has had plenty of practice.

When I saw Talib running with the ball, and then again when he did not immediately get out of bounds, the only thing I could think of was flashbacks to the 2006 playoffs. The Pats were losing late in the game and had the ball on 4th down. A San Diego defensive back stepped in front of a pass intended for Troy Brown and rather than simply knock it down (and take over on downs) he caught it.
That would have been okay except after that he then decided to run the ball, later explaining that he was trying to score.
Problem was that scoring served virtually no purpose under the circumstances.
So while trying to add unnecessary points the Chargers played was stripped of the ball by Brown, Reche Caldwell recovered, the Patriots scored a TD a few plays later, converted the 2-point conversion to tie the game, and won in overtime. Season over for the Chargers.
Most egregiously, the San Diego player (sorry, I forget his name) had no remorse after the game, saying that he would do the same thing (try to score) if he had the same opportunity in the future.
Back to Talib and his play: I'm confident that Belichick made it very clear to him in the meeting room the following day the importance of situational football.
Sports fines are ridiculous, if you're going to fine them at least make it worth it.
