The NFL has determined that Seattle Seahawks safety Bradley McDougald’s big hit on Oakland Raiders wide receiver Amari Cooper should’ve been flagged for unnecessary roughness Womens Customized Seattle Seahawks Jerseys , and as a result they’re slapping McDougald with a fine.Adam Schefter reported on Saturday that McDougald will have to pay up $26,739 to the league. Cooper suffered a concussion on the play and did not return. Two weeks ago against the Los Angeles Rams, safety Tedric Thompson had a helmet-to-helmet collision with Brandin Cooks, who was similarly out for the rest of the game with a concussion in the aftermath. Thompson wasn’t flagged on the play and the NFL ruled the hit as a legal one.When explaining McDougald’s hit as illegal, NFL senior VP of officiating Al Riveron said in his weekly video review that it was “lowering your head to initiate contact” and it was on a defenseless player. Also of note, Riveron says that the screen pass to Rashaad Penny on Seattle’s opening possession should’ve been called back due to a chop block on J.R. Sweezy.FanPulse: Seahawks fans predict narrow win over Bears on Monday Night Football Welcome to SB Nation FanPulse — a survey of fans across the NFL www.seahawkscheapshops.com , powered by SurveyMonkey. Each week, we send 32 polls to 100+ plugged in fans from each team. Seahawks fans, sign up HERE to join FanPulse.This is the second week of SB Nation’s weekly FanPulse survey. Last week, Seattle Seahawks fans predicted a 4-point win over the Denver Broncos, and for a few minutes in the final quarter, that was spot-on. We only wish the game had finished 24-20 Seattle Seahawks T-Shirt , or that the Seahawks had found a late touchdown to win it 31-27.With Seattle heading on the road again for Week 2, what’s the prediction from fans for Monday’s matchup with the Chicago Bears? Well it’s still a win, but a smaller margin of victory than predicted against Denver.Will the Seahawks win or lose in Week 2?Odds: Bears are 3-point favoritesWindy City Gridiron FanPulse: Bears by 6Field Gulls FanPulse: Seahawks by 2You know how excellent the Seahawks have been in primetime under Russell Wilson. They are a ridiculously good 19-4-1 (regular season only) under the bright lights, and are 8-2-1 on the road, so it’s not just fattening up on CenturyLink Field dominance. Bears fans might be understandably confident that they’ll reign supreme in their home opener, although the sting of blowing a 20-0 lead to a hobbled Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers must still be there. As an aside Seattle Seahawks Hats , Seattle is 3-0 at Soldier Field in the Pete Carroll era, winning with Matt Hasselbeck, Tarvaris Jackson, and most memorably Russell Wilson in his rookie season.How confident are you in the direction of the team? Last week: 90 percent confidenceWhat a difference a few plays here and there makes. Last week, 90% of respondents were “somewhat confident” or “very confident” in the direction of the team. This week, albeit with just a simpler “Confident/Meh/Not Confident” set of responses Seattle Seahawks Hoodie , that number is down to 62%. Other than QB, what is most valuable to an NFL offense? Lastly, the NFL community-wide polling of the most valuable position on an NFL offense produced a majority response of “left tackle.” Much like a franchise quarterback, a franchise left tackle is hard to come by. It’s not that easy to find a Jason Peters or Andrew Whitworth or a Tyron Smith. I must admit, I’m really surprised wide receiver didn’t poll ahead of running backs, especially since it’s abundantly clear that we live in a passing league with many new and adjusted rules pretty much tailor made for QBs and WRs to thrive.Once again Cheap Customized Seattle Seahawks Jerseys , thanks to all who participated in the FanPulse survey. Check back next week and throughout the season for more results and great debate!
