Courtney Rivera Speaking Out Against Officiating

Recommended Posts

Most of the Broncos fans (albeit on the one thread devoted to the topic) are in agreement that the hits to Cam were at the least questionable, and at worst egregious. When the offending teams fan base agrees with the headhunting narrative, you know there is some truth to it. 

I commend them for not being so self-absorbed to completely deny that their team played with the intent to harm and hope that if they can see it clearly, the NFL can see it clearly.

Benji is our guy and we love him,   and it's painful seeing players attack his legs..      but going low on big WRs is what is taught these days.   Defenders will try to shoot for his lower body this season,  to try and knock him off balance and trip him up.        Players have always gone for the hard hit,  it just used to be to the upper body,  but upper body hits don't mean poo to guys like Gronk, Benji,  Evans,  or  Megatron (prior to retiring).     They also don't mean poo to guys like Julio.               Defenders are going for or have went for all of these players legs.  

 

 

It's what makes the hits on Cam so confusing and leaves me with no other thought than they were head hunting.           Cam is a big,  big man.   the only reason to attack him high like that,  is to try and aim for the head.    Most go for his legs.

It'll be great if he finally says something, but I don't think he will.

Yep I don't think so either, he's sat back and watched this Cam's entire career. Ron has always taken the cowardly way out and doesn't want to rustle any jimmies... Well Ron it's about damn time you start speaking out and protecting the man that keeps you employed and your little minions employed. 

I wish Ron had balls the size of Courtney's

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

He's smart to watch the tape and really see what happened from multiple angles. There is nothing wrong with waiting to get your facts straight before you start throwing blame around.

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

Actually I'm glad he isnt. Let his daughter and wife do the dirty work for him. He needs to be focused on getting the team ready for San Francisco. 

Side note... I told my Dad last night that the 49ers better lube their asses really good, cus the Panthers are not going to be gentle.

Per league source, the NFL's review determined officials should've flagged Brandon Marshall for his blow to Cam Newton's head last night.

no kidding.

 

what I want is action. I want suspensions for the scumbags who committed the crime. I want consequences for officials who fail to properly perform their jobs. I want action.

That's just a sorry excuse. Greg Olsen and Thomas Davis criticized the officiating last night.

Plus he gets fined if he just mouths off.

Rivera can complain about the refs in private all he wants, but embarrassing the league in public makes them pissy.

    • Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.
    • How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.
    • I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
