However, the nicks hit wasn't anywhere as bad. Plus he made it a point to wrap his arms around ryan once he made contact instead of just following through with the clothesline. I'm borderline on whether it should be a penalty or not.

yes, you can be fined for a non-penalty call.

If so, does the league need to examine all game tapes looking for potential fines that weren't called by the refs?

Yes... happens often.

It was a hit to the head so it should be a penalty by rule. Pretty sure fines follow hits to the head as well.

If Brooks would have went as low as Hicks, it probably would not have been a flag unless, like Hicks (which escaped the refs), he made contact with the facemask/helmet ... but in Goodell's litigious NFL, they're both fines,

Hicks should just send in a blank check to the NFL now because even though there was no flag he will get a fine, almost once a week that happens to some player

It should have been flagged. It was even more obvious than the hit on Bree's. We got some good calls last night.

For what it's worth, Hicks needs to be commended on his outstanding performance last night. The guy plays angry but within the rules. Face masks penalties will happen.

He and Jordan were in beast mode last night.

Even Dawson and Haralson picked up .5 of a sack. I don't even remember seeing Haralson on the field any...

Yes it should have been flagged but the difference between Hicks hit and Brooks was Hicks started high coming off of a block but finished with his hands low on skid britches chest when he turned Ryan towards the official. Brooks hit started collar bone high and finished with his hand under Drew's chin strap where the official could see it in plain sight. Again both hits deserved flags but Brooks was more obvious without instant replay.
