ImNotSoIgnorant Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 http://sports.yahoo.com/news/packers-clay-matthews-fined-for-breaking-arm-of-bears-brian-hoyer-225812153.html Green Bay Packers linebacker Clay Matthews may have knocked Chicago Bears quarterback Brian Hoyer out of the teams’ Thursday night game on Oct. 20, impacting one of the Packers’ biggest rivals, but it also cost him. Matthews has been fined $18,231 for the hit that broke Hoyer’s left arm, after the NFL determined Matthews led with the crown of his helmet on the play. He was not flagged for the hit during the game. Did you see the hit? From the look of the picture Matthews punishment was almost nothing. He should have been fined A LOT more.

Dawgpound23 Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 He tackled(with the crown,sure), into Hoyers arm. This is a fineable offense now? I don't think I watch enough football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajncajn Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 I didn't see the hit, but this sounds a bit dumb to me. I get the fines for helmet-to-helmet hits when they obviously led with the crown. These guys launching themselves into the head of another player certainly deserve a fine. But applying the same to a guy who put his helmet into the torso of another players? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdko Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 I dunno, it's one of those things. It's not against the rules, but i'm sure Clay Mathews knew exactly what he was doing. The guy's been playing his whole life. He could have just as easily wrapped him up as Hoyer didn't see him coming. He led with the crown and drove it into his arm. Dirty, but it's Football Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papajohn Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 If Clay Matthews played for another team, and Vontaze Burfict wasn't in the league, he would be considered the dirtiest player in the game by far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
