The refs did a good job at stopping what could have become a full blown riot.

 

I have no idea how they pulled that off, but yeah, great work there.

It was just a slip up by the refs. They had to deal with a potential brawl on the field and slipped on the details when it was finally time to announce the call. Fair catch or not, you have to let the guy catch the ball, so it's still the same penalty either way.

 

Who says you have to let the guy catch the ball? There was no fair catch signal in the clip I saw. Was it brutal? Yes. Dirty? Yes. Was it illegal... you'd have a hard time proving that one to me.

you can't hit the guy before he makes contact with the ball. Nothing to debate, it was totally illegal

A one game suspension is crap. This should be 3 at least for a completely blatant illegal hit with absolutely no excuse. Until these players are made to pay and pay hard, this will not stop. Fines do so little, who the crap cares if a guy has to pay 50,000 if they are making 5 million a year? :bag::doh:

If you watched the GAME not a short clip, he called for a fair catch. At any rate as another poster pointed out even if no fair catch is called the receiver can not be hit before touching the ball. DIRTY & ILLEGAL.
