Has anyone heard if Steve Smith was fined for yanking Jenkins facemask in Sunday's game?

Harper waited too long to take that late hit. There was too much time between Smith's taunting and the hit. I understand why he did it, but it was a mistake. That fired the Panthers up, and we are lucky it didn't cost us a game, as well as a player (Jenkins could have been hurt, and Harper could have been tossed).

I disagree....in fact, I think it took the Panthers best player out of the game mentally. #89 didn't do jack squat after that play.

I didn't even think about that. I will concede that Smith was a non factor after that play. Still not sure it had as much to do with his mentality, as it did our D making adjustments, and keeping him out of the game.

Harper is my hero, i hope Jenkins destroys Smith when the come to the dome, Panthers still suck so i still laugh at the end

I will say this, it's definitely going to make the next time we play them that much more interesting. I'm hoping Jenkins has a remember me hit for Smitty!!!

yeah I don't think it was the hit, or a mental thing, I think the deal with Smith in the 2nd half was adjustments, one of those things with the Gregg Williams D, where the stuff that is easy for the other team to do in the first half gets taken away in the second half. But also, Smith is a prima donna, so after that catch he probably knew he would be on all the highlight shows that night and felt like he was done for the day.
