Alexander didn’t horse collar that man. That was a complete crap call. The hit on Fletcher should have been fined for 50,000 just based on how classless it was. You don’t hit London Fletch when he is already on the ground. No fine for Finnegan? This week there will be at least one fight in the league because these refs can’t get a hold of the game.

Jenkins had a great hit. Nothing dirty about it, no fine necessary. Let football players play football.

The league is trying to justify the current officiating by handing out more fines in games where people are complaining about the officiating. The downside is that when the real officials return the flags will be flying. I feel for the rookies in theeague who aren’t going to know which way to play. Due to the different styles of officiating. Goodell is taking the
League and plunging it down the toilet.

Well said deangelo. However, Sean was about 235lbs. Man, I miss that guy. Big, fast, athletic, and with a very good understanding of his position as well as accountabillity; I doubt we will see another Redskin like that in our lifetime.

If people actually watched the clip of the hit on Fred Davis you can see he never had possession of the ball and Jenkins left his feet and launched himself head first at Davis’s helmet. Dirty play from the loser Jenkins who by the way, his mom is also a hooker.

Janoris fine is bogus. He even moves his head out of the way and leads with his shoulder. It was just a hell of a hit. But should not have been fined. Good work by a rookie. Looks like both teams were pretty evenly fined there RG.

For that one guy callng out Sean Taylor for doing the same, you proabably never watched him play. He never led with his helmet, and stuck his shoulder pads to their chest. Probably one of the most textbook tacklers i had ever seen. At 6’2 225lbs, he didnt need to lead with his head to deal punishment.

You should’ve seen it at full speed!!! Man… That was an AWESOME HIT!!! Keep it up Janoris!!! I love it man.

You guys need to stop watching the slow motion replay. It’s quite obvious in real time that he had no ability to defend himself. Jenkins also launched his shoulder into Fred’s helmet/neck area which is against the rules. He clearly makes contact as you can immediately see his head turn sideways on impact.

have any of the people commenting on that it was a “clean” hit watched football in the past 5 years? they don’t allow that kind of hit anymore. was it awesome? yes. but its not a legal hit anymore. a flag should have been thrown, and a fine should have been (and was) assessed.

Way to early to tell but looks like the lions blew this one. Jenkins looks legit….

Nice hit by Jenkins. Worth every penny.

Right to the shoulder pads. wtf? that hit was clean and legal. The question i have is, is Roger Goodell playing fair? or his he paying off his legal team for all the off season BS?

Total amount of fines

Washington $23625
‘dirty’ Rams $23625

Even more interesting.

I love Sam Bradford going nuts in the background after Jenkins lays Davis out. Clean hit IMHO. I wish the Lions had taken Jenkins instead of that T Rex armed Riley Rieff

How in the hell do you arrive at $15,750 or $7,875 ?
is there an algorithmic process for that – or is it like everything else that godell does just pulled out of his backside?

So no Rams were fined for their hits on RG 3.
Interesting.

A defenseless receiver hit warrants a fine per NEW league rules .. To the genius who referenced Sean Taylor .. It’s 2012-13 season with different rules … That is a dumb comparison

I bet the NFL is squirreling all this money so when
they lose that concussion lawsuit for like a billion
dollars,they can say “hey what do you know we
just found a billion dollars!”

You can’t hit a defenseless receiver in the head, plain and simple. Not hard to understand.

By: ramslam

ramslam — Fri, 21 Sep 2012 22:26:08 +0000

By the way, if you look at the pic of the hit on this page, notice where the ball is and that Jenkins did not lead with his helmet. Looks like a clean hit to me.

This is funny considering how people are criticizing rg3 for Complaining about the dirty playing of the rams.people are basically saying he needs to stop complaining, when come to find out he was actually right

By: mikebrownfaux

The crazy thing is, that is a very substantial amount for Jenkings. Not like he’s got a big contract, and the contract he does have, he is probably only seeing a quarter of the money.

So they get fined, but not flagged. Most of those infractions were missed by the officials…. Or was it Just a case of home cooking?

By: ramslam

ramslam — Fri, 21 Sep 2012 22:12:07 +0000

How much were the Rams fined for all the “dirty” hits on RGiii? $0.0 – and this proves he is a crying baby…Boom!

I am still not sold on the defenseless receiver rule. I can understand not blowing the guy up if the ball is uncatchable, but if he is in possession of the ball I say you gotta destroy the man.

Before you Redskins fans disagree, think about Sean Taylor knocking some Cowboy or Giant receiver unconcious. Exactly. Your smiling right now.

The Rams were clearly one of the teams that took advantage of the replacement refs in pushing the envelope to see how much they could get away with.

And they got away with plenty in the game which helped them win, but only after the game do they pay the price for it. I guess the Rams could say the win was worth the fines if it gets them in the playoffs.
