Typical NFL fines expected for Broncos


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

God who tf cares honestly. Did anyone expect anything to be done? Seriously did anybody? After Burfict tried to amputate Cam and Olsen on camera a couple years ago and nothing was done to him I knew the NFL was full of poo. It's over with, it was a disgrace, but we have to move on and stop with the complaining about bs calls because face it, we are gonna be the Villins of the NFL for the foreseeable future. Especially after the Brady/Belicheck era in New England

It's a joke, tbh. That's cue to Ron and the front office to give the go ahead to start playing teams exactly how they play us. If I'm Cam, I light a fire under my offense. If the league won't protect him, his teammates should especially that Oline. Kalil said himself guys don't care about fines so it's time to take matters into your own hands. I'm gonna patiently wait on Mr. Newton to sound off.

The NFL has made it clear that it's open season on Cam. Time for our OL to do the protecting. The next guy who cheap shots Cam better get ear holed and spend the next six weeks drinking out if a straw. If the refs and NFL refuse to provide encouragement not to target Cam, then the Panthers themselves will have to provide that encouragement.

I am very disappointed in the NFL. They are always preaching about player safety yet our franchise QB was treated as an afterthought. I pride the way our team plays with integrity and playing the game the right way. Too bad other teams don't. It is very upsetting that those hits could have permanently out this kid out and all they get are slaps on the wrist. We need to protect our own. I want to see our players channel A little "Steve smith" in them if something like this happens again. I know it was frowned upon but I liked how Brandon Williams went after those saints players that one game. Yes he was suspended but he took up for his QB. Sorry NFL, but keep fueling the fire. Keep pounding!

Broncos to get a slap on the wrist for headhunting Cam

Considering the above, the following is thick, delicious irony...

NFL Commitment To Player Health And Safety

A Letter from Commissioner Roger Goodell

 

 

Quote

Our game, of course, is a contact sport. Fans love to see the action on the field, including the big hits. While we can never completely eliminate the risk of injury, we are always striving to make the game safer—for our professional athletes down to young athletes first learning how to play.

 

Quote

Today the National Football League is launching Play Smart. Play Safe., an initiative to drive progress in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of head injuries, enhance medical protocols and further improve the way the game is taught and played by all who love it. It begins with a pledge of an additional $100 million in support for independent medical research and engineering advancements—building on the $100 million that the NFL and its partners are already spending on medical and neuroscience research—and a commitment to look at anything and everything to protect our players and make the game safer.

 

LOL... what a bunch of jag-off hypocrites.

    • First off, my memory is faulty and so I should remember you. Anyways, welcome back. Having been around here since 2004/2005, I do have to say all these hot takes are not necessary new. I still very much remember all the constant complaints about Jake Delhomme. How he was too inaccurate, fumbled the ball too often, threw bad interceptions, and how Steve Smith deserved a better QB. How this franchise needed to replace Jake for someone better because he dragged everyone down. We even had names for Jake defenders; Blind Delhomme Jock Sniffers (BDJS). That one thread about Chris Weinke over Jake Delhomme because Weinke threw for 423 Yards but only scoring 13 points remains the worst hot takes I've ever seen around here. So to me, it feels like history repeating itself again and I don't feel like getting that much involved in flame wars like I used to. I am more of a sit back and see what the players/team does type of person. And even then, yes, there are so many moving parts that it's not as easy to pinpoint the core issues, especially when you're not inside the building and know every single detail.  And yes, I think even way back then, I hated how overvalued the QB position was and it hasn't gotten much better. It's to where my philosophy has shifted to where if you can't win a SB with a QB on their rookie contract, you might as well get another one. Otherwise, you have to give that QB so much money that the rest of the roster suffers and your window becomes quite narrow.  That's why I'm skeptical that Mahomes/Burrow/Jackson/Allen will win more than one or two SB's between them. None of them look as invisible as they did a few years ago and that's because their targets are much inferior and/or they are getting more roughed up behind a worse O-line.
    • Haha I was still off was thinking of mac jones he has done extremely well this year with basically no weopons as all the 49ers are hurt except for mcaffrey but he is playing slow this year for some reason.
