I don’t think it was an intentionally dirty hit, but there should have been a penalty. Last year when Vince Wilfork did nearly the same hit to JP Losman he got a 15 yard penalty and a large fine. Also had Kevin Faulk not have been caught with drugs he would have been blocking, and he could have easily prevented it.

It was clean. Brady deserved what he got. Pollard is a tank.

I don’t think it was a cheap shot. Brady takes a risk everyday in football hard hits occur and Pollard’s was just another hard hit. I don’t care how many times it’s replayed in slow motion or whatever, he was playing the game and hard hits and injuries are part of what the game is about. All i know is that my fantasy team falls apart without Brady so I’m basically screwed.

For any of you have seen the replay, ive watched it over 10/15 times, every time it looks like on the ground Pollard was looking to hit Brady low and hurt him. Morris said he didnt throw Pollard into Brady….so clearly this was an intentional hit and a huge blow to Patriot Nation
