WOW these Refs need to go...

[Fox007]

Bey got ktfo, he's hurt had. Should have been a flag, def will be a fine.

Or a suspension.

[megadeth078]

You guys want them to throw a flag?

I'm surprised that thug wasn't arrested. There's a difference between playing football and what that man did.

[4Corners]

the Steelers player certainly led with the head and if you look up "how to not tackle someone" in the dictionary there would be a picture of this.

[Ruff]

Should definitely be a fine, if not a 1 game suspension. That's pretty rough.

If you really don't want to see this happening in your league, I don't see how you can let a player off so easily.

[TheRed]

I hope he'll be alright. That's beyond a cheap shot. Suspension may be incoming, clearly lead with the helmet.

I think it depends really. I mean, yes, it did look intentional, and yes it was pretty bad, but it could be a first time offense. If so, I'm not for going out and suspending a dude 16 games for a helmet-to-helmet hit.

The loss of 1 game check (a 1 game suspension) is actually a pretty big deal.

Now, if this was someone like James Harrison, where he is constantly called for helmet-to-helmet hits, I think you start getting into the range of 3, 4, and 5 game suspensions.

Well, it only takes one hit to paralyze somebody. The thought of a player paralyzing another player with an intentionally dirty hit only to have the league call him up the next day to say "This is your last warning" is just disgusting to me. It's a dangerous, deadly hit that is also very illegal and the players are very aware about the rules concerning this kind of situation (or they should be anyhow). Players shouldn't be using their helmets as weapons with the idea that is okay until they get slapped on the wrist with a fine or suspension. They should get punished harshly on the first offense. It's not okay to play around with other people's lives, even if these thugs have no problem with it.

[Sapper]

I really like DH-B (I saw him a lot in college and loved the pick over Crabtree), and hope he is doing jumping jacks right now.

[beginning sarcasm]

But did you see those guys playing football and all? They tried to prevent a touchdown and stuff. Defenders, trying to defend their team?! The nerve.

The thought of safeties not being able to count milliseconds is astounding.

[Keith Moons Liver]

I thought this was the Pats/Ravens thread, cuz my god these refs are awful. The NFL can go fug themselves.

[Ruff]

Pretty sure these refs think they're officiating UFC 152, even though that was last night.

[cammycamjooce]

raiders would tear our crap up

[smitty_89]

True, their offense looked really good today. McFadden would run all over us and we would make Palmer look like the Palmer from the his Cincy days

[Ruff]

Dennis Allen seems like a really good coach, something that Raiders haven't had in a long, long time.
