Karma will comeback and bite them in the ass, their QBs are going to get it, hopefully its the same manner  as Denver's defense used to hit Cam in the helmet.

Time to become a Raiders fan.

They will definitely have a couple fines (and we probably will too).

I've read some articles saying we could lose draft picks and get major fines for not taking cam to evaluate for the concussion protocol at the end of the game.

The Broncos should lose draft picks and face suspensions for admittedly targeting a player and admitting to using their helmet as a weapon. That's bad PR for the NFL who is trying to prove that they care about player safety considering the players don't care about their own safety.

This is disturbing. Cam is apparently that good and intimidating. Commish has to do something.

Different "game" or even "sport" I know, but a future first round pick, Jalen Reeves Maybin, was EJECTED for "targeting" after THIS last week https://www.seccountry.com/tennessee/tennessee-lb-jalen-reeves-maybin-says-calls-targeting-ejection-a-weird-play

So...do we still hate the Patriots more? It's getting pretty close for me.

This is something I haven't seen posted but they clearly went low on Benjamin, not to tackle him as they didn't go for his feet, but to test his knee. I saw at least 4 instances where a Broncos defense attempted to take KB down by way of targeting his knee instead of trying to trip him up at his feet. 

I'm sure there will be gif's of it somewhere but that poo pissed me off as soon as I saw it. 

I noticed that too. The league has to do something about Denver. You can't allow them to play like this.

I keep thinking back to the 49ers divisional playoff game several years ago, where we brought the physicality and intensity, but were told to tone it down after some penalties. Since then, I don't know that this team had been the violent aggressor when an opponent plays with that same style.

Unfortunately, they can and will.  I doubt anything will come of this from the league office.  I hope I'm wrong but I'd bet I'm not.

Yeah, I have little faith in them as well but there needs to be something done. You can't have players out here targeting and trying to injure on every play. Something other than heavy fines should come of this. The league is all about player safety until you're a 6'5" 260 quarterback I guess.

I was going to say, maybe a fine or some meaningless punishment would be imposed at the worst.  But that's it.  My guess is there won't be suspensions or anything.

I know it's not the thing to talk about but I'm starting to believe it.  Was Steve Young treated more as a RB than a QB with his calls?  I know it was a different time but many people claim Cam doesn't "get the calls" because he is a running QB.  Did Young?  I'm trying to remember if there were ever any white QBs that also weren't given calls due to their mobility.  Makes you wonder if it doesn't have anything to do with the mobility part. :(

Cam can take the hits WHEN HES RUNNING I think those don't faze him it's the hits when he is still attempting to throwing lets keep it all the way real..

Face it, if the Pathers had played better as a team, just like the Super Bowl, they would have won last night. I fear we see a trend with this team and this is going to be a tough season. I still think we are looking at 9-7 or 10-6 and one playoff game. This team isn't as good as some people think it is.

Denver was the more physical team last night point blank. We have to be better if we plan on winning anything this season because every team is going to try and copy the same play style.

The powers that be has it out for him. I don't think Steve had it bad, but he wasn't as big as Cam is either. 

Cam is big, black, crazy talented and doesn't apologize for any of it. He knows it; he said it in January. He knows that's why he doesn't get the same treatment, no matter what he says (or doesn't) today.  He's gonna go back to saying what he feels without safe stepping by mid-season. I know he hates to bring race into football, but lets call a spade a spade. He knows what's up.
