I'm sure were going to hear the Ravens and their fans cry about all the penalties at the end of the Cincy game just like they did with the Pats last week. Ray Lewis got a PF for this hit:

I have a feeling that is not the last he will hear about it. Not only did it help cost his team a win, it will likely cost his some cash, maybe even a game (doubt he get a suspension though). Chad had pulled up on the over-thrown ball and Ray (b/c his head to DOWN in launch mode) continues to launch his body like a missile at Chad's head causing a violent collision and the removal of Chad's helmet. Chad did pop right up which I give a ton of credit for, cause that was a violent hit! But Ray left his feet (no-co according to new rule) and led head down with his helmet (don't give me the shoulder crap, head was down and pointed forward, that is leading with your head). These are the types of hit that have no place in the NFL IMO.......and I'm glad the ref made the correct call and it played a critical part in their loss....maybe if they continue to lose games due to losing their cool, they will finally learn. And while I don't see the suspension, I'd love for the league to send a message here.
Thoughts?
