You-tube it. Rahim led with his shoulder. The impact carried him up, causing the helmet-to-helmet hit. He didn’t launch, he just ran through the tackle. No “dirty, dirty” anything involved – just hard football hitting, which sometimes results in a guy getting knocked out. It sucks that he got hurt, and I’m glad he’s OK, but there should not be a fine here.

I just ran that play repeatedly in slo-mo frame-by-frame. The WR was not in the air. He was looking at the ball and didn’t see it coming, but he wasn’t in the air. And the hit was not helmet to helmet. Moore didn’t launch, either. I’m a Steelers fan and really really dislike Denver, but it wasn’t a dirty hit. Like Stevie Johnson and the refs, you’re reacting to the outcome of the hit rather than the technique of the hit. Watch it a few more times.

James Harrison, like every defender, has made some bad hits. I won’t argue that. But people focus on James because he has a big mouth. Forget his surliness and watch his play. James isn’t one of those dumb, blunt instruments. He actually has excellent technique. Using his brain (and he does have one) and developing his technique is how he went from perennial backup to NFL DPOY. That chip on his shoulder makes him a tough competitor, but it also creates a lot of problems for him.

Sounds like helmet-to-helmet hit to me.

Broncos also got a roughing the passer penalty on that drive and later in the game they also drove a guys head into the ground where he had to be taken off the field on a stretcher and went to the hospital.

Pretty dirty for anytime of the year, but waaaaaaaay out of line for pre-season.

been waiting for a safety like him since days of Jack Tatum at Oakland.

Dont apologize for nothing, Moore

and this is coming from Raider Fan.

Spare me the whinny baby crap from the Bills fans and Stevie Johnson doing the school yard punk thing. Weird how he kept a lid on the billy bad ass stuff until the very moment there was no chance he could at Rahim.

And the funny thing is, there’s always a whole crowd of cretins that think playing that way is “tough” or “manly”, and that to question it is to “pu$$ify” the NFL.

Well I’ve got news for those types: the guys who do the hardest cheap-hitting are the wimps, the cowards. What they do is just sucker-punching, no better than that. The line up easy targets and hit in a way that minimizes risk to themselves.

They’re the cowards on the field. That means you, Rahim Moore. That means you, James Harrison. Cowards.

And for all the people whining about Denver cheap-shotting Bills players, wtf were you watching? The only thing I saw was that play with Spiller in which they were still fighting over the ball after the whistle. Other than that it was just a bad Broncos team knocking around a terrible Bills team.

Instead, everyone’s going around tackling like that Headbutting Dinosaur from Jurassic Park2.

For those who continue to mock the new rule changes ie… kick offs as well as berate the NFL & Goodell for coming down hard on the players .

Are you listening Steelers?

The players held together during the lock-out now lets see them do the same for there own well being.
