Unnecessary Roughness?

Just wanted to get the opinion of some impartial observers on this play.

Do you think a fine/suspension would be in order for this play? There was no penalty called by the attrocious officials...

I didn't think it was all that bad. The RB did not appear to be injured at all. There probably should have been a penalty on the play but I'm not even all that certain on that. The ball had been dropped and the D-lineman couldn't just drop the RB and allow him to possibly recover the ball.

I don't know if you watched with sound or not but the play had clearly been whistled down before he decided to dump Roberts on his head. Completely uncalled for, IMO.

I think it was uncalled for. Seems pretty obvious.
