Romo's 6'2 and he usually has no problems getting it over the defensive line. Ew we signed Sammy Morris to back up Felix Jones, REALLY worried now if Felix goes down.

I don't know if I should be happy or sad that of Romo's 26 TD passes this year, 25 of them have gone to the same 4 guys.
What pisses me off from that is that Robinson was a Ram!! he got injured one season after starting out really good then the Rams decide to let him go, just like Donnie Avery. lol.. Our GM needs to go!! As for Spags, mayb its time as well..

Harrison only has this singular offense against him, this season. And it was on a borderline call. Colt McCoy had indeed tucked the ball under his arm and left the pocket. He did not even really throw the ball as much as saw James Harrison bearing down on him and flipped it away on the line of scrimmage right before he got blasted. As a RB, the hit becomes legal. As a QB, it's not.

I don't agree with the suspension, especially when it removes him from a game where it leaves his team at a major disadvantage against a tough opponent. The 49ers have a back-up guarding what would be Harrison's side of the field. I guess if this were another Thursday night game on the NFL Network, it probably would've been settled with a fine (see Andre Johnson last year.)

Again, these new player safety rules are only in place to make sure offenses are still scoring points. Hence why o-lineman and d-lineman that take helmet to helmet shots on a weekly basis, and are the players whose brains are soup 10 years after they retire, receive no attention from these "safety" rules. Player safety - comical.

Leading with your helmet is never legal, regardless of the position. Helmet-to-helmet is just as bad on RB/WR/TE as QB.

A suspended player doesn't get paid for the game they are suspended, and that's usually a big chunk-o-change.

He was a Charger as well, we should probably send Norv a thank you letter of some kind for teaching Robinson the Cowboys' offense while he was in San Diego. So glad we got him, he probably got us 2-3 wins we wouldn't have gotten otherwise, especially since Dez and Miles have both been in and out of the line-up at points this year.

From Jamison Hensely (AFC North Blogger for ESPN): "What could save Harrison from a suspension is his shot on McCoy isn't as clear cut as his ones in the past. Harrison hit McCoy after the quarterback had scrambled near the line of scrimmage, which has led some to say McCoy was acting as a runner (helmet-to-helmet hits are allowed on ball carriers). But McCoy flipped the ball right before taking the shot, which still made him a passer (helmet-to-helmet hits aren't permitted on passers)."

Harrison's weekly game check that he will lose if the suspension is upheld is $215,294.

I’ve never seen a helmet to helmet call that is blatantly obvious not get called for a personal foul.

how can it be called legal??

It is Harrison's fifth illegal hit against a QB in the past three seasons, according to the league. Harrison is set to make $5.33 million in 2011, meaning the loss of a game check will cost him about $215,ooo, the equivalent of about $1,700 for the average American. He plans to appeal the penalty, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Obvious helmet to helmet hits happen on goal line plays, every week. Ball carriers are not afforded the same protections as they're not deemed defenseless.
