Courtney Rivera Speaking Out Against Officiating

[TylerDurden]

And using their own words against them.  She is awesome.

 

[Mr. Scot]

Mrs Riv and Courtney are great.

Player's also know to not target peoples knees specifically, which they did to KB several times.

Yep. This has been lost in what they did to Cam but they were playing dirty to KB too.

With KB I can at least understand why a DB goes low. Not saying that there aren't cleaner ways to do it but at least it makes sense. Cam though... uncalled for.

The play that sent KB out of the game was an obvious result of targeting his knees. The corner plays heads up, dives, not to secure a tackle but to attempt to take him out at the knees. Now they can sit there and deny it all game long but an admission of wanting to put a helmet (using helmet as a weapon) or shoulder pad (perfectly fine) on Cam no matter what shows me that they had discussed where to hit players prior to the game being played.

This may not be a pay for play type of thing, but to intentionally take a "if you can't beat them, hurt them" stance is counter to what football is about. Personally, i'm excited for college football this weekend to avoid the bullshit hits and obvious bias against certain players in officiating.

Now we just need her Dad to step up to the plate.

The point wasn't that they didn't attempt to tackle him the only way you really can. The point is that you see the DB make a heads up tackle and instead of wrapping up, he launches directly toward his knee with his helmet.

Which is why I said "Not saying there aren't cleaner ways to do it".

Courtney, those officials are decent men who are paid to do their job too and we should respect them!

Yeah it's dirty but not illegal. Most players have to tackle low on players like KB or Gronk. You saw what KB did when Roby tried to tackle him by the upper body and KB just tossed him aside and ran for a first down. I'd go for the legs too if I was on defense, and I know I've seen our guys go for Jimmy Graham's legs before. That's just a part of the game.

He had the chance to speak out last night, but blew the opportunity.

[TylerDurden]

It's cool RE: their overall dirty play.  If we see them again come February I fully expect a few cut blocks to Miller and Ware, headshots to Semen (yes, misspelled purposely), Trai and/or Norwell tombstoning Darian Stewart and Wards filthy asses, and hopefully someone rips Talibs fuging headoff Mortal Kombat style just for shits and giggles.

I agree.

But I am going to be patient at least a couple of days.

If nothing further is said, I'll be extremely disappointed.
