Blatant Pile-Drive Hits on Michigan QBs Going Uncalled This Season

Winovich, Hurst, Solomon and Gary have been decimating fools all year, including some jarring hits on QBs.

Stop making excuses for the real cause of that play - the Michigan offensive line phoning it in when it mattered most.

There was nothing wrong with the hit that hurt Peters. Just stop, this is why people hate us as a fanbase.

Kugler and Bredeson were stuck on one man. No way does Bredeson get around that to make an effective block.

fucking acceptable about drilling a guy that is fully extended and vuilnerable after having thrown the ball? And he did pile drive him. The ball was away, it had no bearing on the play but it did serve to end the game as we knew it that day. 

That hit and the clear continuation of if on the ground was nothing but dirty. And to think a majority of the football world thinks Harbaugh is a whiner. Well fuck, what other coach in America in any sport has had two QBs or other team leaders sent to hospitals (did they even fucking have one in West Laffeyette?) on dirty hits with no fucking flag?  You put this on top of the Capron/Sager/et al fucking at OSU last year and one should have to ask, who the hell wouldn't be fucking screaming?  Hell, one of the late hits by Weber in that game last year nearly knocked the defenseless Michigan player into the fucking ref that couldn't get his head out of his ass soon enough to bother calling it.

One need no clearer evidence of the anti-M bias than these plainly observable events and how they are (not) handled by the officials. Again, name another team that has had two QB's sent to the hospital on hits that were not even tackles? 

I'd rather be thought of as paranoid than brain dead. 

watched Saints HOF ab Brees get hit near the head and shoulder area after releasing the ball, knocking him down for a 15-yard roughing call, which just led to a TD two plays later. Brees got knocked down, not tackled and bounced a couple times. Of course, the NFL is a qb league and there is a priority in protecting qbs.

Again, officials are more likely to protect in certain circumstances and not when an unblocked defender makes an appropriate hard hit.

The initial hit could be argued either way in real time.  In slow mo it is very clear that the Wiscy defender torques his shoulder in such a way as to put the full weight of both players onto Peters' head and shoulder.  I don't think he intended to actually injur but he definitely intended to make the ground cause extreme pain.  But - that's in slow mo.  At speed, you can't totally blame the ref for that.  All that being said, the grinding of an unconscious man's head into the turf for an extra yard in inexcusable.  For that, the refs can never be forgiven.  That is a huge miss that might have added to the injury.  In the NFL that would result in a 15 yard penalty and a hefty fine on the player.  These Big Ten refs continue to show how incompetent they are week after week.  And their unwillingness or inability to call penalties on dangerous plays has now given the entire conference the freedom to target QB's.  That's disgusting and unforgivable.

They define our OL.

i don't think it should have been a penalty.

it was cheap, though, just like the hit on aaron rodgers (who i TRULY despise, fwiw), and (sorry) like the play hurst made earlier this year.  it's not necessary.  put your shoulder into the qb and knock him on his ass.  

there was some chatter on the board that we should have sent someone to take out hornibrook, or some such.  no way, man.  respect your opponent, even when (as in this case) they will try to thug it up on you (by the way - wisconsin is every bit the thug team that sparty is, we just don't see them as often).

win with character, win with cruelty, but you don't try to actually injure the other guy.  period.
