Pryor was fined $7500 for this. Insane! Legal hit.

[blitzac2005]

Wow....this got the fine? are you freaking kidding me?

Wait I don't think this was the hit I ranted about below. I was referring to the hit from the same game that required that cart to take him away.

@VikeFan284296 Worst line in history. Phil Loadholt is a fat piece of garbage. This is coming from a guy who doesn't usually rips players like a sportswriter but that is what Phil Loadholt is.

I didn't know he was fined for this. Anyway, this was the moment I finally thought that Brett needed to quit. This hit would have killed some men. Forget the chin music. That was a candle on the cake. The real pain came from the hit on the sternum and the drive into the ground. That line was 1 of the worst in history. People forget they got 3 QBs hurt that year including the 1 QB who never got hurt. That DL came through untouched. That happens occassionally with LBs or Ends...but a DL untouched?

@wareagle140 His head hit Brett's chest and with Brett falling back and Pryor still going forward his helmet slid up and hit Brett in the chin. It wasn't illegal it was momentum. I get the penalty hard to tell in real time. But to sit and watch it over and over and decide to fine Pryor is ridiculos!

His helmet slid up his pads under his helmet. I get the penalty but the fine is ridiculous.

@bigjon7501 it was head to head on a quarterback.. that's illegal.. read the rule book

@VikeFan284296 no miracle. he's brett favre. toughest player ever

[ORRLax3r34]

That's how every QB who challenges the Patriots should leave the game!

[VikeFan284296]

@bubbly747 He was already hurt prior to the game and the fact that his line was shit it's a miracle he played as much as he did this season.

that will teach you to not wear a chin guard from circa 1979
