He did not lower his head and lead with the crown of his helmet.  But you canât hit a QB helmet to helmet these days. Automatic flag. No one on here wants to see Allen take shots like that. Edited August 21, 2021 by BarleyNY 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got some news for you, that will get a flag 10 out of 10 times. Refs donât care about the chin strap. They are taught to protect the QB at all costs. Every. Single. Time.   I donât think it was intentional, and I enjoyed watching it (especially in a blowout preseason game), but I do NOT want to see that hit in a close playoff game. Have to play hard AND smart.  Agreed. Reverse the roles and this board will light up on fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 It was an easy flag, as that is the type of hit that the nfl is trying to get rid of. But, he was fine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He never lowered his head and the hit was high and reckless.  That get you suspended in the regular season.  That would not result in a suspension in the regular season. You can see Smith bending his head away from Fields' helmet, yet it's not enough and he makes helmet to facemask contact. According to modern rules he was appropriately flagged for it, but that would not get a suspension.  Also, I don't know if I've seen a helmet that loose since...who was it? McNabb?

I agree about how lose the helmet was on. That flew right off.  I see Smith bending his head but itâs towards fields not away. (Obviously IMO).  Mind you if that had been Allen receiving the exact same hit I dare say 90% on this board would be calling for a huge suspension of whoever did the hit.  Now I donât think he meant to light him up like that (helmet to helmet) and if I was a Bears fan Iâd be just as angry at the lack of O line protection.  (I donât think anyone touched The Bills guy on the way in) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunTheBall Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Spare me the sanctimonious BS, I absolutely loved that hit and the best part about it was Fieldsâ head band going flying off too. It was an absolute yard sale on the field haha. Itâs preseason and means nothing so give me a break. If Josh got hit like that Iâd say next time switch the protection so you donât get whacked by a free rusher. It wasnât dirty, it deserved a flag in todayâs NFL. Thatâs it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the particular angle of the hit that made it pop off, he said.  The hit wasnât so much on the OL as it was on Fields. The OL did shift protection to the left side which was incorrect as the Bills were overloaded to the right side.  Not sure if that was on the Center, but ultimately it is Fields who needs to see that pre-snap, read the blitz, and take the hot read to the RB in the flat on the right side. He instead wanted to wait on Ridley making the double move on the left and that was the wrong decision with the unblocked pass rusher coming from the right. A vet QB makes that read. Fields said after the game that he was aware of the mistake and it was a learning moment. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
