Should Morstead Have Been Thrown Out of the Game?

[GamecockSmitty4]

Saints probably paid him 10 grand for the play. Would have been more but Ginn stayed in the game.

[Davidson Deac II]

Ejected?  No he should not have been ejected.  But he might get a fine. 

[Inimicus]

Anyone who thinks he should have gotten tossed has lost the right to bitch about the pussification of the game.

If we had lost by less than a TD and been competitive in all other phases then you could blame the loss on this. As it was we got schooled by a team playing better ball and THATS why we lost.

[Darth Biscuit]

Yeah, that wasn't a ejectable foul imo.

 

It was egregious but it was just a personal foul.

[OneBadCat]

Yes, he could have broken his neck.

[Cyclonus]

Based on that play, yes he should have been ejected.  I hope pays a huge fine.  That was one of the most blatantly violent facemasks I've ever seen.

 

However, I don't think the outcome of the game would have been much different.  I could have punted for the Saints yesterday.  

[jamos14]

Fug yes. I want to run that little prick over with a smart car.

  Does this work?

Does it really matter, We got our butt kicked. We got out played in all parts of the game tonight. But the revenge will be sweet in two weeks when they come to Carolina. So please for the love of God let's not start acting like the Saints fans and start saying this and that. Let's just accept the lose and move on. Congrats to the Saints and their fans. Enjoy the win this week. We will be back in 2 weeks for our win in our home.

 

exactly !!

 

what's next........."should Rivera be fired" threads ??

[hepcat]

He should be fined.  I mean yea you can take a penalty play to save a TD but, not when it endangers a mans life.  He could have broken his neck.  

[Kuhndog94]

I wonder how much Morstead would've been paid for breaking Ginn's neck?

[Niner National]

I'm just happy Ginn didn't get hurt. As fast as he was going, that very easily could have been a serious injury.

 

I don't think Morstead did it on purpose, he is a punter, so tackling is not a strength of his.

[SevenSixes]

Go and watch it again..

Morestead should be expecting a FedEx in his locker on Friday..

[PanthersAlv]

I agree, that facepalm was about 10 times worse than any horse collar. He was past him. He reached out and grabbed his face mask.

I dunno about anyone else but I swear te Saits were head hunter Ginn all night. He to he neck twisted and his head almost taken off on a sideline throw he never caught. There was another one but I can't remember when it happened. Just insane the stuff tht happened in that game. And the Panthers themselves didn't but up and take the reigns. Just a horrid game with no help what's so ever from the zebras on pretty basic calls.

Facemask* dam autocorrect.
