So defensive players are supposed to over come physics now? Oh, OK.

I want the people who decide whether a person should be fined suit up and take hits at a QB who is throwing the ball at receivers. When Suh dragged Schaub to the ground way worse than what Watt did...

look at the picture at the top of the page ... is that not the very definition of a textbook tackle?

The busybody control freaks in charge of the NFL are doing their level best to ruin the game.

I doubt JJ gets fined but I bet Crick will for when he hit Stafford in the back of his helmet in the third quarter at around 13:42

meh, after what the Lions were doing to Schaub Im glad we laid into Stafford and pushed the limits, if only our oline would defend matts honor after he brutally gets taken out, thats the one thing I miss about Winston

That's exactly what I said. Everything looks right. Brought is arms up from underneath, hit him in the chest, everything looked good. If the whole incidental contact with any part of the helmet of the QB is the case, you are going to see a lot more QB's lowering their head to touch their face mask to touch a defenders helmet to draw the 15 yards. It's going to turn into the whole ripping off the helmet thing in NCAA to make a player sit out a play...

JJ made every attempt possible to wrap up. His arms are the key. He hit stafford square in the chest. Its not his fault he's a big dude. IF he gets fined, it will be an absolute mistake by the NFL

thats what i'm saying, Arent you supposed to let up once the QB has thrown the ball ?

[thunderkyss]

If they don't fine Suh for that drag down of Schaub I'd be upset.

That's a fine for the kick to the gnads & a fine for the calf roping.

I'm writing this one off to ProFootballTalk trying to garner page hits.

The way fines typically work is that the players receive notice on Tuesday, and the league officially announces the week's fines on Friday.

So what it means is either JJ didn't get fined, or he got fined, and chose not to let that fact be known. My money's on the former. We'll know for certain tomorrow.
