I could understand that a cowboys fan might not be able to spell really well... but I'm pretty sure it was intentional.

If you play this frame by frame, one will notice that Roy's shoulder makes contact with Coles FIRST. Then Coles is launched backwards by the impact

Roy WAS NOT HEADHUNTING on the play...

Clean hit

No, ACTUALLY, this is a BULLSHIT post by a guy as blind as the officials were in that game. They missed this blatant foul AND THE TWO OTHERS THE NFL LATER APOLOGIZED FOR THAT COST THE SKINS 14 POINTS. I looked at that film, and saw the same thing the NFL experts did. His head flew back faster than his shoulders. Any way you cut it, it was a helmet-to-helmet spear. Typical of the cheap shots South America's team like to dish out. Maybe his shoulder (or pinky or some other body parts) hit at the same time. That has no bearing on the foul. Roy was driving at Coles' head with his helmet. But no need for all the tears, he can afford the $7500.

I misunderstood your post. I thought you were saying that you'd see us all again on Dec. 26, as if you weren't going to be posting at all until then. And I couldn't figure out why

EEich-

Thank you for the gentle reminder.

To all posters on this board:

Regardless of your fan affiliation, we at The Warpath require that your language remain appropriate. The C-bomb never is.

As always, we welcome fans of all NFL teams to join in insightful commentary. We also accept thoughtless bragging, pointless name calling, and careless rants. Profane and personal attacks aren't our bag.

I took my dad to the game Monday night and I agree that we beat them in every aspect except the score. I will say that it was a good, hard-hitting game but bad officiating ruined it. I also went to the Dallas game last year (that 27-0 loss) and there probably weren't more than 70,000 people there, nearly half of them Cowboys fans. This last time, the stadium was packed out, and I joked with a couple of Cowboys fans behind me that they were the only ones in the stadium. I may hate the Cowboys, but like mentioned earlier, I have a lot of respect for them (especially Landry). The Cowboys are probably the only thing from Texas that I don't like. As we were leaving the stadium, one of those Cowboy fans made a good point: "Yeah, we (the Cowboys) may have won, but the rivalry is back." We'll be back in December to kick some Cowgirls ass.

BrudLee,

Thanks for cleaning up that classless slur.

These hits happen all the time in the NFL and I don't think safeties should be finded for them. Since the NFL fines everyone I think Roy should be fined, only because that's the precedent. Hits like this are part of the game and they're not cheap. If a wide reciever puts himself out there, he knows the risk.

The NFL is trying to prevent broken necks and brain injuries. If the rule prevents one catastrophic injury, it's a good rule.

Absolutely a critical and GOOD rule. The last theng the NFL needs is WR's carted off paralyzed for life. That is what would happen if those hits were allowed - they would be so commonplace that many serious injuries would occur. When the rule first went into effect against clotheslining, I did not like it either, because it was the bread and butter of our own Chris Hanburger. It was great seeing those guys flipped in the air. Problem was, it was EXTREMELY dangerous. And another thing: you have to remember that just in the last few years, there has been a major emphasis on bodybuilding in the NFL. The players are all MUCH more powerful and MUCH heavier than they used to be. That intensifies the problem. You get a 250 pound LB spearing the head of a 170 pound WR going over the middle, look out. I don't want to see those injuries.

I agree that helmet to helmet hits can not be permissible, but didn't they have that as a rule emphasis a year or two ago? Which caused huge fines for hits that didn't look like anything more than just a huge hit?

I'm all for punishing truly dangerous hits, but I also want players to hit hard when someone comes across the middle (namely the Washington Redskins!)

[BIGREDSKINFAN63]

there was a guy from green bay who got fined for doing the same thing to payton manning.who did LA get fined for yanking the face mask of?

[Daseal]

Tiki Barber. Didn't even get a flag for it in the game.

DEFINITIVE PROOF there was no helmet to helmet contact from a new and best angle of the hit:

It looked like helmet to helmet to me, though not as obvious as the helmet to helmet hit RW lay on his teammate Terence Newman right after the play
