In no way do I think Rahim deserves a fine. The penalty was enough of an over reaction. I'm not sure what the league is wanting a safety to do in that situation. He was late to the ball but he has to make sure jones doesn't come up with that catch. He led with the shoulder (perhaps a small bit of helmet- which I can see is argument enough for a penalty) but not a fine.Â Great play. Good to see some denver D.
Just being honest…

I will order my Moore jersey tomorrow.

Yo the ball touched the recievers hands. the object of D is to NOTÂ let them have the ball. he was doin his job, and might i say, doing it very well.Â its about time we had a steve atwaterish saftey in the backfield. i hope what he, miller, doom, and ayers bring thatÂ all season. they were the best part of the game on saturday IMO. finally seeing SOMBODY get there head caved in by a bronco in stead of ther other way araound is a refief (and i mean that in the most nicest of ways). i think we FINALLY have a D we might be able to depend on. if they play the way the did on saturday, through the season and stay healthy, they could be at least a top ten.

Clean hit but don't celebrate wile the guy is out cold on the ground. I would get pissed too if I where a Buffalo player and saw Moore celebrate wile my teammate is unconscious.

Nice to see some hard hitting by the Denver D again.
