Dwayne Allen & Anthony Castonzo fined for unnecessary roughness during Vikings game

[GoColts8818]

I saw the play wih Allen and I loved it and not only did it fire me up it fired up Allen and Luck shortly after Allen scored his first NFL TD and for those who said it was stupid and a rookie mistake get real you do your job through the whistle and because Allen had the upper hand thats what frustrated the defender. Im sure the coaching staff was very happy with the physicality of Allen on that series I know I was.

Luck was doing just fine leading that drive before the flag so no it didn't fire him up if anything it made his job harder. It was stupid because more times than not a flag like that will kill a drive. The Colts were able to pick it up thanks to a nice pass to Reggie Wayne. Credit to Allen for rebounding but no you don't want your players getting flags like that. Go ask the Raiders what leading the league in flags year after year does for you. Also I am sure the coaches were not happy with the physicality on that play that resulted in the flag. They gave away 15 yards and while they were able to pick it up this time you aren't going to keep many drives alive that have flags like that. Also it's the other way around the defender frustrated him which is exactly what the defender was trying to do and he got the reaction he was hoping to get which was the flag. The Colts were able to over come it this time but there is a reason why you don't see players react like this most of the time in the NFL it wasn't smart.

Dude did you watch the play, Allen had the upper hand blocking it was the defender that continued pushing Allen after the whistle and it was the defender that attempted to take Allen to the ground. Seconly you do realize our coaches come from the Ravens and Steelers plus the flag could have been called either way matter of fact those were the exact words of the commentators, the only reason Allen was flagged is because the defenders helmet came off and last Pagano said I want them to be physical I dont care if you make a mistake as long as your physical. I dont know about you maybe you perfer a much softer team but I love the fight in our guys at least they are willing to do what ever it take to get that W. Maybe you would perfer to see defenders push and punk our guys up and down the field I dont. Evidently you missed that part of training camp when Pagano told the media what type of team he would be putting on the field but from what I have heard out of Pagano is he loves the physicality and so do I, nothing soft or fitness about this team anymore.

oh and you said Luck didnt get fired up by that well we scored our first TD on that drive and to who Allen and the play was designed to get the ball to Allen why cause he was fired up and the coaches new he was as were they and I. Please please stop crying over spilled milk we won and get use to it we will win a lot of games in the furture by being more violent and physical then our opponent

If I remember right, Jared Allen went out after being flagged for the late hit. Castanzo slammed some guy to the ground, but it wasn't Allen. And it wasn't flagged or illegal in any way. Must have been some other play.

Oh but I like smart aggression
