"Baker didn't do anything wrong with that hit," Vincent said. "When you look at the rule, he didn't do anything illegal. People can say it's a cheap shot and you can talk about whether it might fall under unsportsmanlike conduct. But when you know the rule and you look at the play, he didn't hit him in the head. He didn't hit him in the neck. We looked at it. I looked at it very closely. He's not going to be fined for that."

I'm all for real football, but with the way they have protected qb's over the last 6 years or so, how can that be deemed legal? At the very least it looks like he "launched" into foles. #92's feet almost come of the ground (lot of effort for a man his size).

No player in the NFL should be pursing the ball as lethargically as Foles was on that play.

And yet Patrick Willis performs TWO textbook tackles last weekend and gets TWO 15 yard personal fouls.

Foles could take a lesson from Peyton on this one. Throw a pick, run straight off the field.

If that was Drew Brees Saints fans would bitch and moan about how illegal the hit was

QB gets demolished on a play he's trying to make a tackle - total outrage

Punter gets demolished on a play he's trying to make a tackle - should have paid more attention
