Article 9(c) (pg 75):
In covering the passer position, Referees will be particularly alert to fouls in which defenders impermissibly use the helmet and/or facemask to hit the passer, or use hands, arms, or other parts of the body to hit the passer forcibly in the head or neck area (see also the other unnecessary roughness rules covering these subjects). A defensive player must not use his helmet against a passer who is in a defenseless posture — for example, (1) forcibly hitting the passer’s head or neck area with the helmet or facemask, even if the initial contact of the defender’s helmet or facemask is lower than the passer’s neck, and regardless of whether the defensive player also uses his arms to tackle the passer by encircling or grasping him; or (2) lowering the head and making forcible contact with the top/crown or forehead/?hairline? parts of the helmet against any part of the passer’s body. This rule does not prohibit incidental contact by the mask or non-crown parts of the helmet in the course of a conventional tackle on a passer.
Now, what kind of whiney a$$ little douchebag b!tch would question that call given the plain wording of the rule???

Like I said, people don't like the rule, but it was the correct call.

San Francisco is the epitome of butt hurt.
For more reason than one.

Thanks for the posting the rule. Just what I thought it is perfectly legal to hit a QB across the chest. Terrible call.

That hit is straight gross.
I am really glad Brees is ok.
Dude is iron man.

OP, you are a Man among Men.
You walk with the quiet authority of Zeus.
Nubile virgins whisper your name and think of you in forbidden, muted conversations with themselves.
In short, you rock.
The only reason why this issue might be discussed today in Sportstalk is because they need SOMETHING to talk about.

I don't see the part where this rule should not be enforced, and it is ok to try to break a QB's neck if he is a short QB (like 6'0" short.)
