Let's take a look at the rules shall we?

Definition of a Defenseless Player

The following is taken from the 2011 NFL Rule Book (pages 73-74) and defines players who are in a defenseless posture. The material is also covered in the 2011 League Policies for Players Manual, distributed to all players in training camp.

It is a foul if a player initiates unnecessary contact against a player who is in a defenseless posture.

(a) Players in a defenseless posture are:

(1) A player in the act of or just after throwing a pass;

(2) A receiver attempting to catch a pass; or who has completed a catch and has not had time to protect himself or has not clearly become a runner. If the receiver/runner is capable of avoiding or warding off the impending contact of an opponent, he is no longer a defenseless player;

(3) A runner already in the grasp of a tackler and whose forward progress has been stopped;

(4) A kickoff or punt returner attempting to field a kick in the air;

(5) A player on the ground at the end of a play;

(6) A kicker/punter during the kick or during the return;

(7) A quarterback at any time after a change of possession, and

(8) A player who receives a "blindside" block when the blocker is moving toward his own endline and approaches the opponent from behind or from the side.

(b) Prohibited contact against a player who is in a defenseless posture is:

(1) Forcibly hitting the defenseless player’s head or neck area with the helmet, facemask, forearm, or shoulder, regardless of whether the defensive player also uses his arms to tackle the defenseless player by encircling or grasping him; and

(2) Lowering the head and making forcible contact with the top/crown or forehead/"hairline" parts of the helmet against any part of the defenseless player’s body.

Note: The provisions of (2) do not prohibit incidental contact by the mask or helmet in the course of a conventional tackle on an opponent.

Penalty: For unnecessary roughness: Loss of 15 yards. The player may be disqualified if the action is judged by the official(s) to be flagrant.

Bolded the pertinent parts. Guess what? Andrew Luck was not in a "defenseless position" during this play. He wasn’t throwing, he wasn’t about to throw, he hadn’t just thrown a pick – he was perfectly capable of avoiding the rusher – he wasn’t defenseless, and therefore a tackle that does involve the crown/hairline of the helmet hitting something other than the QB’s head is legal. This fine is complete garbage, and the league is violating their own stated rules in issuing it.

Brady Quinn starting vs Tampa Bay!!

Maybe if more Packer fans around the world cry, the good commissioner will come off his strike.

Remember last year when the Giants got some bullshit calls in that playoff game against the Packers, in an attempt to let the Packers come back.

Shit happens. You're gonna have 1 possibly bad season in like...0-1 since Rodgers took over. It's fine man, happens to alot of teams eventually.

[archibaldcrane]

The arrogance of the commissioner doubling down on a bad call on the field with a fine on top of it is appalling.

[Cail]

archie is the king of bawwwwwwwwwwww this year

Archi was riding the Rodgers dick long before he was winning a SB and doing State Farm commercials, don't try and knock him on that. He was repping him for awhile.

[Abandon]

That doesn't mean he isn't BAWWing like a baws

[Cleverness]

Oh he's indeed crying real hard over this, I just wanted to clarify the arrogance thing. He's earned the arrogance. But not the tears.

[Churchill]

Xajji is like an angry elroy

Can't wait to hear another one after JJ swatt eats Rodgers and blocks all his check downs.

I'm sure it was rough moving on from Farve to Rodgers.

I suppose by the Bill Simmons rule I can't complain about anything for another 4 years or so. I still feel confident about the team, but man we've gotten some shitty breaks so far.

I rep JJ Watt pretty hard too (Wisconsin), but I expect TJ Lang (my boy) to control him.

I'm sure it was rough moving on from Farve to Rodgers.

lol I was over Favre by about 2005.
