CircleTheWagons Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Does anyone think that McGinest hit Manning around the head on his sack? Seems to me that everytime I saw that last year it was a flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to me that everytime I saw that last year it was a flag. 25156[/snapback] In any other situation...maybe. But there isn't a ref in the league that would call that BS penality when it would decide the game (as this one would have) unless it was really, really blatent.

zow2 Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Nah, it wasn't a helmet to helmet thing and McGinest sort of collared Manning around the neck. Neck tackles are fine as long as you don't rip at the facemask. The Colts O-line completely screwed that play up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corp000085 Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 yeah i agree, that was just a great blitz, a missed blocking assignment, and a good hit. even if it wasn't the patriots, that wuoldn't have been a penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EndZoneCrew Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Didn't Jack Tatum patent that type of hit......if I were him....I would get Jackie Childs involved......McGinest is a damn thief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerball Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 No problem with the hit. He collared him, but no blow to the head. Manning also flinched, given another second he would have been in the fetal position. In other words he lowered himself, so a hit that would have been below the pads was around the neck. Stupid play by Manning, stupid protection scheme--unless someone blew their assignment. The fullback on the play just breezed by WM into the flat. He should have at least chipped him to slow him a bit. If DB took a sack like that at a critical point in the game (none more critical) this place would go absolutely nuts. Wonder how Colts fans are reacting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 I don't think it was a penalty at all. What was a penalty, however, was Rodney Harrison's sack. He left his feet to hit Manning in the head. Of course, the refs, who had a very questionable game, called a few ticky tack penalties on the Pats, too. So it evened out, IMO, and had no effect on the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 What was a penalty, however, was Rodney Harrison's sack. He left his feet to hit Manning in the head He also went right after Manning's knees with very bad intentions when Peyton waggled out there nekkid on 3rd down and ran for the conversion. 'Ol Peyton was pissed about it too. The more I watch Harrison the more I want to marry him ;-) Cya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a GREAT call in that situation, BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Woah - how else was he supposed to tackle him on that play? lmao, yeah how could an NFL safety possibly have run down a speedster like Manning when he had a good angle and Peyton was a whole 8" from the sideline? That was a vicious and intentional move on Harrison's part and Manning was pissed off for good reason. I loved it! That was a GREAT call in that situation, BTW. They nailed us with that 2-3 years ago and Manning went around left end and ran for what had to be close to a 40yrd TD! Boy was I chuckling watching him trying to lumber that far;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
