So I dont get it...a safety on an all out blitz can come through full speed and blows up the quarterback from behind (THE definition of a blindside hit, and the QB is about as defenseless as any player since he doesn't know what's coming), causes a fumble and it is absolutely celebrated.
Where's the fine for that?!

Alex Smith almost got fined $15k for doing this:
He's been wearing an SF Giants hat in press conferences for a looong time now (at least ~2 seasons) and now the NFL threatens to fine him out of nowhere. Maybe due to the changes in uniform/apparel suppliers?

They called a roughing the kicker penalty on a punt at the end of the second quarter in the Jets/Dolphins game. I think it was called on Smith with the Jets. He dove and nearly blocked the punt before the punter could get rid of the ball. He came down in front of the punter, and the punter fell down trying to hop over Smith. 15yd penalty, Miamis ball. BS.
EDIT - As I hit send, they blew another fucking call. The Miami receiver didnt maintain control over the ball as he fell out of bounds. They ruled it complete. NY challenged it, the call stood. More BS.

Its pathetic when the NFLPA has to make a statement regarding this issue:
http://deadspin.com/5945638/nflpa-ex...-out-officials
TO: Owners of NFL Teams
FROM: NFLPA Executive Committee
DATE: September 20, 2012
RE: Your Lockout of the NFL Referees and the Negative Impact on Football
The NFL Players Association Executive Committee is calling on you to end the lockout of our referees. We believe there is substantial evidence that you have failed in your obligation to provide as safe a working environment as possible.
Your decision to lock out officials with more than 1,500 years of collective NFL experience has led to a deterioration of order, safety and integrity. This affirmative decision has not only resulted in poor calls, missed calls and bad game management, but the combination of those deficiencies will only continue to jeopardize player health and safety and the integrity of the game that has taken decades to build.
As we predicted and explained to you weeks ago, the removal of the veteran officials from regular season games left a group of your replacements who have proved to be incapable of keeping pace with the speed of the game. Coaches and players have complained of numerous errors and failures including: erratic and missed calls on egregious holds and hits, increased skirmishes between players and confusion about game rules. Many replacements have lost control of games due to inexperience and unfamiliarity with players and rules.
The headlines are embarrassing: a scab working a game despite having been on the payroll of one of the teams, another who was assigned to referee a team he publicly supported on Facebook, and one who is a professional poker player when you propose even more stringent player rules on gambling.
It is lost on us as to how you allow a Commissioner to cavalierly issue suspensions and fines in the name of player health and safety yet permit the wholesale removal of the officials that you trained and entrusted to maintain that very health and safety. It has been reported that the two sides are apart by approximately $60,000 per team. We note that your Commissioner has fined an individual player as much in the name of "safety." Your actions are looking more and more like simple greed. As players, we see this game as more than the "product" you reference at times. You cannot simply switch to a group of cheaper officials and fulfill your legal, moral, and duty obligations to us and our fans. You need to end the lockout and bring back the officials immediately.
We are all men who love and respect this game and believe that it represents something beyond just money. For our teammates, our coaches and our fans who deserve better, vote to end this lockout now.

Well, the Dikes showed up to play today. All I can say.
I've been watching this and the Dallas tilt (since the Bears/Rams game is not televised for me here)...and yeah, seemed the 9ers thought Minny would just roll over.

Looking at the box score, looks like Da Bears had a nice day defensively getting to Bradford though. 6 sacks so far.
