Were the 49'ers robbed?

You shut up. Many others say what I am saying. And it has everything to do with Tom Brady. He is one of the NFL's little bitches that gets protected by rules that get enforced more strictly when he is in the game, Bree's is another one.

From NFL.com....

"It was a borderline hit. It's easy to identify with Brooks' frustration on a game-changing call. At the same time, one can see how a referee would see the hit as a clothesline across the neck in real-time game speed.

For better or worse, officials are going to keep protecting marquee players at football's most important position."

Yahoo Sports:

"NEW ORLEANS – He is Drew Brees, and with that name comes a measure of entitlement. Primarily that entitlement is protection from the men who police the NFL. They ensure he will not be subjected to the most eager, overzealous and violent of hits. When you are one of six quarterbacks in league history to throw for 49,000 yards, a flying tackle from a 259-pound man aimed high at your body is going to draw a penalty.
And that is the reality San Francisco 49er linebacker Ahmad Brooks absorbed as he stood before his locker on Sunday night, his 15-yard roughing the passer penalty likely being the difference between a Niners win and a 23-20 loss to the Saints."

I really believe if that were Kaep taking a hit like that, the flag still comes out.

Ray Lewis called the hit the worse thing since the tuck rule. Said he will personally pay half brooks fine if he is fined. He also called out Bree's for saying.. "I knew it had to be a flag because I got hit so hard"... Ray lewis basically calls Brees a pussy.... I kind of agree.

Ray Lewis put it best... "He can't do nothing else"

This is as bad as hanging your hat on the Stpehen A Smith comment. Ray is dumb as stump and will always defend the defensive player. His comment is just asinine if Brees were 6' 5" he would have been hit in the right place. Well he's not Ray so he hit Brees in the neck height matter not, location of hit does. Just dumb and you are dumb for using that as justification. Please show me the rule where it say's QBs under the height of 6' 2" can be hit in the neck

Ray also said "Drew Brees neck slide down to that man arms"

Geez when people start making shit up it only hurts their credibility.

I would never use this clip of Ray for an argument painting this a bad call it makes it invalid for so many different reasons. Another being the point they make in here regarding the Billion $$$ settlement the League just doled out. You know that's 'Billion' with a 'B'!

Oh and last I checked, the Saints' didn't put in Drew Brees to replace Peyton Manning. Mr. Brees played the entire contest as a dude 6' even!

Disagree with the brand of Football we get these days is one thing but to try and say it was a 'bad' call is another entirely.
