    “When we grade a player, if he has a penalty, we give him a minus,â€￾ Jim Harbaugh said Monday. “We did not assign a minus on that play.

    “Thought he made a great play, just didn’t get the result.â€￾

    Walnuts's Take: A biased take on it to be sure, but I can't say that I disagree with him, homer glasses on or off. The impact of it made it look bad, but he clearly took the arm to the chest and not the "head or neck area" as defined in the rulebook.

    Re: Jim Harbaugh Has No Issue With Brooks' Hit

    Honestly I hate that it was called, and that it's against the rules. I think it was a good football play. But his arm is definitely in the "neck area" so it's against the rules in my book. Again, I don't like that there's a rule against it, but there is so we have to deal with it.

    Not that it makes a difference, but it's definitely not the worst call on a QB hit I've ever seen
