I disagree with nothing that was said here, but the NE hit on Allen was worse.

Who lowers his helmet here, Jones or Allen? Does Allen slide or do anything to suggest he's not trying to get more yards? Does Jones launch? Does Jones try to get his shoulder in there, or is he using his helmet as a weapon?

This angle shows why Jonathan Jones avoided an ejection. Trying to establish shoulder contact, neither lowered his helmet nor launched into Allen, and Allen is running forward with his helmet down. Perhaps an unnecessary hit, but Allen invited contact with the way he ran here. pic.twitter.com/eB2lKWZt7D

I understand where you're coming from, but the position of the NFL is you get your head off to the side and keep your eyes up, hit him with your shoulder.

The hell of it is that you can do the same shit with Burfict. You could roll a slow motion GIF up there, break it down and ask, what is he supposed to do?Burfict didn't even hit the guy with his helmet.

Now I understand that Burfict has a long history of ****ery and I have no problem with him getting jacked then suspended. But the point remains that the hit on Allen was worse. And the NE guy got nothing, except a penalty, which was magically offset.
