The No Fun League will eventually figure out a way to ruin the fun.

thats cool .. we all knew the fine was coming

Not all. A few in this thread didn't think the play even deserved a flag, let alone a fine.

Still don't - just goes to show the inconsistent application of the rules by the NFL.

A helmet to the jaw tends to be a penalty these days.

Dupree will appeal, not sure what kind of fairness he will get - but I'm sure they will argue the passer protections don't apply since Moore was out of the pocket and advancing that ball.

And he will lose that appeal. Fine may be reduced, but it will not be thrown out.

Nope (see the running QB to the left in my AVI)... at some point these guys need to be classified as runners, and the NFL is struggling with that definition.

When you start penalizing result and not the rule, you get this. IMO Moore should have been classified as a runner on the play.

I can agree to disagree
always though advancing the ball would be beyond the line of scrimmage.

Your opinion is not the issue. The way the rule is written is clear. Whether you think it is a stupid rule that shouldn't be on the books or have issue with inconsistent application of the rule doesn't matter. He broke the rule and was flagged accordingly.

We've already gone round and round on the verbiage of the rule - now consider that the defender has to make that decision in a fraction of a second - whether the QB is a runner or a passer. Dupre will appeal and have an argument whether you like it or not.

I would hate to be a defender in the NFL these days...

Grogan sure did take some hits in his career. He was a tough SOB.
