I think they should just give up the damn fines all together, These guys get paid millions because of the harshness of playing football. Stop babying these guys that make millions of dollars. I wish old school football could come back and we wouldn't have these panzy ass players we have now. I would bet there is maybe 20 guys in the league right now that could of even played in the 70's and 80's.

So I ask you guys this do we want pansy football or do we want good stuff like this play from college this year. Note there was no flag thrown for the hit.

This guy would have been suspended for 4 games and like a 250,000 fine in the nfl. And all he was doing was what every kid was taught to do. Drive thru the player. Make him fear coming across the middle.
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

I guess the NFL s saying that it has seen enough of the Stingley Tatum plays to last a lifetime. This was a preseason game if I recall. Pay is not the issue. Would Daryl and his family given $100,000,000 for him to walk again? I think so.

I didn't know a fine that low was possible for a helmet-to-helmet hit, and this one was more blatant than most. It's very weird how little attention this hit received both during and after the game. Lesser hits during regular season games were a bigger deal. It's further proof that the league doesn't really care about player safety. As someone else suggested, this small fine does send a message to James Harrison, and the message is, "Go for it!"

A (small) part of me agrees with you, but at the same time, no loss as a fan will ever equal the sinking feeling of watching one of the players you love motionless on a field, like Driver in '03 vs. Minnesota (although I don't think that hit would've been fined).

In the long run, it's probably best that they instill a mentality of solid, fundamental football, vs. trying to knock the other guy's head off.

I agree, but honestly I think James Harrison, just putting on his helmet and pads, gets the message to "Go for it!" The guy is an animal, he really doesn't give a shit what happens, and he has more or less said that much. He will play dirty because that's how he has his edge.

I was sitting in the endzone at the NFC championship and all I heard was the Bears fans crying and saying he wasn't leading with his head and it was only because He (Peppers) was tackling with his tall frame.

wpr, I remember as a kid reading Darryl Stingley's book. Saw the still pics in the book, but thats the 1st time I've seen video of it. Very sad story. Great guy though.

In my humble opinion I think if Peppers really wanted to take Rodgers head off he could have. First off, when Peppers goes to lay the hit, watch what Rodgers posture was. Rodgers throwing motion brought his head into the hit, had Rodgers not been in the motion of throwing Peppers would have just drilled his shoulder and not his helmet at all. So I think the fine is silly and all it says is "Please try and be nicer".

So Nick Collins gets fined 50k for barely hitting Roy Williams, but Peppers only gets fined 10k for nearly decapitating Rodgers. That seems about right.

I have so many complaints about this fine:

1. $10,000? That's it? The NFL is trying to clamp down on hits like these yet when a perfect example shows up in the MOST WATCHED CHAMPIONSHIP GAME IN NFL HISTORY  they give the guy a slap on the wrist? If you ask me this deserved a Seymour-style ejection. Peppers went straight for the helmet-to-helmet. It was blatant and wrong. It didn't even seem like he made an attempt to properly tackle Rodgers.

2. Why did it seem to take so long to get a penalty called? Does anyone remember last year when Matthews barely swiped the face mask of Matt Stafford and they called a roughing the passer penalty? If anything Lance Briggs should have been called in addition to Peppers because his hand came down on Rodgers' face mask.

3. Rodgers never seems to get these calls. If I remember correctly on Landry's (basically) game-winning INT in OT against the Redskins Rodgers was hit helmet-to-helmet and it wasn't called. How come every other QB seems to be protected more than Rodgers? I'm really not too big of an advocate for the new protection rules but if you're gonna call them you have to do so across the board. Fair and accurate. Sadly that doesn't seem to be the case.
