Eric Smiths Hit On Anquan Boldin

Somebody give me a break on this.  This is an accident and to have the guy flagged and then penalized for this.  Look at the angles and see where he was coming in, then at the last minute the angle is changed dramatically by an immediate hit from the backside thus forcing the reciever’s head down and causing the helmet impact.  Now I understand the rules, but let us use some common sense.  There are simply time where things are an accident and do not require someone to be punished.  This is one of those times.
