Was it BS or no?

The rules say you can't go at the head of a QB, looked like he tried to decapitate Drew with the clothesline. Good Call in my book

Re: The Hit on Brees
 

nfl has come out and said the call was absolutely correct

Re: The Hit on Brees
 

Right call. I love the hit from a pure football standpoint. But egh, whatevs. We won.

Re: The Hit on Brees
 

BS or No BS?

No BS.

Not only was it a tomahawk to the neck it was helmet to helmet. Surprised that Brees survived.

Same could have been called for the no safety on KapNeck

1975 vintage highlight reel. 2013, 1975 is only cool at a thrift store. Should have been ejected.

but he was "WAY" outside the pocket, according to the ref

Re: The Hit on Brees
 

To me it was a good call, not because of the location of the hit (it obviously wasn't to the helmet), but because of the way the defender swung his arm. You can't swing your arm at a player's throat like that and not expect to get penalized.
