WR Andre Roberts fined $7,500 for crackback block. Haggans, Marshall not fined. Can assume NFL deemed those hits legal. Bad calls.

WTF seriously?

I have never seen a crackback fined before now.

Agree. It wasnt even that bad.

I can see the fine though. That can end a guy's career and they probably have zero tolerance for it no matter how harmless it was.

I don't know if this was asked but why isn't this the type of play that is reviewed on the spot? IMO, penalties such as this should be reviewed in the same way the NHL reviews disputed and that is at a central office. And this is the only type of penalty that should be reviewed because not only is possession or yards at stake but a possible fine.

because it's a judgement call by the ref just like holding and PI. I doubt they start reviewing them any time soon. They probably get with the ref and make him adjust so it's not called incorrectly in the future.

I've met your wife. She didn't use to look like that. I'm sorry for your loss.

I sent her to a spa that Wisconsin Cards reccomended and she came back looking like that. He said it did wonders for him. I should 've known better .
