That was the same thing that Bromell did to Manning a few years back. helmet to chin. He got flagged and fined.

I didn't think there was anythig deserving of a flag on that play. He had a few guys hit him all at once and his head kind of got twisted and hit. It didn't look like anyone intentionally hit him in the head though.

Doesnt matter if its intentional

Its helmet to helmet contact with the QB

I didnt think of it till now but yes a flag should have been thrown
 
I agree it was legal given the circumstances.

That doesn't mean the refs are doing an OK job in general. Game after game there are bad calls.

I was flipping channels during commercials during the game. The Ref actually threw a flag at a Bengals player who was bearing down on Rothlisberger all by himself. He said there was an unabated path to the QB. When the heck is it a penalty to rush the star QB? Then I turn the channel and see other QBs get nailed the same way with no flag. The inconsistency is glaring!

It looked like Gus was already on the way down when he was hit with the helmet. Sometimes you can't avaoid it, and in those situations I don't think a penalty is warranted.

but see he drove his helmet down into the QB

besides by the rules any helmet to helmet hit w the QB is illegal, thats just the way its written and the way its usually called

if a guy taps him w his helmet yeah dont throw a flag, but when you drive it into him and cause a concussion it should be 15 yards

No fine because it wasnt intentional but 15 yards for the penalty
 
There should have been a flag on that play. Now if that was the NFL's little baby (Mick Vick) that they flag anyone that touches him, it would have warented a flag. But I'm happy there wasn't a flag because that might have changed everything and we might not have came back.

or we might have had better field position and come back earlier

but you do make a good point, if they flag it do we win?
