He better get a call from the league on that. That was as clear as day he extended that elbow to give Jackson a shot to the head.

I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
"Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.
He played a dirty game. The late hit on Fitz was a questionable call, but he was involved in 2 or 3 other dirty plays so he's not going to get the benefit of the doubt from the refs.
especially knowing that Jackson is 'coming back' from a head injury. Let's admit it, if you have a concussion in the NFL, you probably are coming back too early. an additional hit like that to the back of the head is just so dirty. especially between teams with no ill will towards one another.

Jackson was probably shaken up from it, because he left the field, fortunately for the Bills the next play was Spiller's 44 yard TD. If he's not punished by the league for this, it will be complete BS.

I believe that in the NFL circles that is known as the Rodney Harrison special. Straight POS.

Babin was fined $21K by the NFL.
It wasn't for the forearm to Jackson's head, it was for a roughing the passer penalty on Ryan Fitzpatrick for a blow to the head.
Until the NFL starts suspending players for four game blocks, nothing changes.
Why suspend defensive players for playing the game. The league has bastardized the game so their marquee players don't get hurt. Is that really football? I guess the consumers play a part because most want to see 41-38 in Overtime.
