Toxikk Veteran Posted September 15, 2004 Veteran Share Posted September 15, 2004 DENVER - John Lynch saw the next-day-mail envelope in his locker and he knew the news wasn't good. The Broncos safety had the distinction of being the first player to draw a fine this season, when the NFL sent him a letter Wednesday demanding $7,500 for a hard hit on Chiefs receiver Dante Hall in the opener. "I'm going to let the appeal process begin today," said Lynch, who has a reputation for being one of the hardest hitters at the hardest-hitting position in football.

.... Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 That was a illegal hit. He doesn't have a leg to stand on. He lowerd his head and speared Hall.

TDQuiksilver Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 All this new ruling this year in the NFL (and some old) has brought out a lot of cry babies in the NFL. If I remember right, they don't call it "smash mouth football" for nothin'. It was a great hit.

[yt] Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 It was a legal hit.. the refs blew a lot of calls in that game. Especially the first one when the Chiefs receiver fumbled the ball and the refs called him down and he was never touched, he fell down then got back up then fumbled when he got hit. Refs suck so far this year... Go Broncos! :D :) :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/218218-nfl-john-lynch-draws-nfl-seasons-first-fine/#findComment-584566623 Share on other sites More sharing options...
beardly Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 I thought the hit was fair. He didn't hit him head to head. Also Hall, if I recall correctly, barely touched the ball right before he got hit.

Also Hall, if I recall correctly, barely touched the ball right before he got hit. It's not a matter of head to head, you cannot, by rule, lower your head and hit with the top of your helmet. Yeah, he was flagged 15 yards for the hit.

L3thal Veteran Posted September 16, 2004 Veteran Share Posted September 16, 2004 Illegal, therefore he's wasting his time appealing.

-=SD=- Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 Thought it was a good hit, Hall was still reaching to get the ball after he tipped it.. I would have blasted him as well :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/218218-nfl-john-lynch-draws-nfl-seasons-first-fine/#findComment-584567672 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 ,Sep 15 2004, 16:37] It was a legal hit.. the refs blew a lot of calls in that game. Especially the first one when the Chiefs receiver fumbled the ball and the refs called him down and he was never touched, he fell down then got back up then fumbled when he got hit. Refs suck so far this year... Go Broncos! :D :) :D Doesn't suprise me this is coming from a Broncos fan The hit was illegal...big time. Not only did he lead with his helmet, but the ball was well beyond the receiver. Hell, he had enough time to put his hands down before Lynch hit him. Completely unnecessary.
