That was the general consensus in our house yesterday.

The league wants to do all they can for the injured player AFTER it happens, and the player that hits them gets a "slap-on-the-wrist fine. If the league wanted to show they really had the balls, they would institute a game ejection clause for these plays, just like the "targeting" penalty they have in college football.
Add a mandatory game suspension with loss of pay and maybe, just maybe, there will be fewer intentional injury-intended collisions.

As I told my nephew yesterday, the Pats could have sent one of their guys out to retaliate, but that just wouldn't be our style.
I said what they WILL do is go out and beat the entire team, so that that one player will get the "waking the sleeping giant" response from his teammates...

zimmy 01-22-2018 11:49 AM

Other than bias, it is mind boggling that anyone would call that guy dirty. Didn't lead with his head, gronk brings his head down. Call it a penalty by rule, but the idea that it was dirty is limited to those who like their balls deflated.

Other than the fact that defensive players generally go out to hit the opposing player as hard as they can, with the unintended possibility of ending their career, it's mind boggling how many people just can't let go of the past.

It will never change...you have a team that has a winning record on multiple seasons and there will be many who will stop at nothing to try and discredit those successes. The only shocking thing was to what extent they went to "try and find" evidence to "prove" their claims. (I they've found more compelling evidence regarding the existence of BIGFOOT, but hey maybe HE plays for the Pats too?)

It did not look malicious but it was a helmet to helmet hit - concussion resulting. Penalty was fair. Sometimes unnecessary roughness is just physics.

^^^ Not this. This is the unnecessary shot we are used to as Pat's fans from the everybody -v- the Patriots crowd.

Slipknot 01-22-2018 02:15 PM

Did any of you catch that song on 98.5 Sportshub with the Kinks- Lola done to Danny Playoff Amendola? It is really good

I am thrilled the Pats are going back to the Ship again, can't wait. I hope Gronk will be ok. That was one helluva game.

I'm sure the Jags got boned on a few calls but so do the Pats.

Brady is a freak at winning. To be able to do this for so long, and now at his age...and to so consistently come up big when the pressure is on...and like David Ortiz, he seems to be better in bigger situations. I am a Steelers fan, so I am sick of watching the guy dominate, but it's really something to see. And not like he won 4 Heismans in college, he was a very un-heralded selection.

My brother has tix to go down in the Optum field lounge so I met up with Milo and upgraded his buddy John and he from the 300 nosebleeds down to section 104 row 13 and 14 on the end. He was happy. Here is a picture from the Fancam online where you can zoom in anywhere. I don't mind standing on field level as no one sits down at playoff games anyway, and I got to see Nellie, said hi to Mayo and his dad saw I had the right shirt on(51 Mayo) and also ran into Linda Holliday. The place was crazy.

Ha didn't know about the fan cam. Just found myself.

Unnecessary, sure, but calling that a dirty hit that should get a guy tossed is asking for that kind of response. While the deflating was inconclusive, 2002-2007 wasn't. The coach brought that on the organisation and the fans.

MAKAI 01-23-2018 09:46 AM

Wouldn’t every single franchise in the NFL trade their last 20 years for NE’s last 20 ? Warts and all.
Indubitably.
If you’re an owner it’s all about the Benjamins. No Boy Scouts in that fraternity of billionaires.

I don't hate the pats. I hate the cowboys. But the cowboys Superbowls aren't tainted other than the general stink associated with the cowboys. Neither are the great years of 49ers, Steelers, Giants etc. It is actually really too bad. Mostly unnecessary too.
Go birds.

Really
I find statements like this amusing.
So all that stickum Rice used on his gloves back in the day was ok? (and he still doesn't feel he was cheating)?
Coach Tomlin attempting to interfere with a Ravens player streaking down the sideline.
A Rodgers and E Manning using balls with air pressure outside the Leagues permitted air pressure range.
P Mannings use of HGH to heal and regain strength after multiple neck surgeries (We know it was mailed to their home under his wifes name and that a forensic tech goon squad in trench coats went to his and his wife's drs office to scrub their files).
Herm Edwards admitting that his team's and others were stealing signals.
It it helps the whining haters feel better so be it.
I love it when Bruschi, McGuinest and R Harrison address the cheating accusations on the networks that employ them.

It's ok. I have met some nice ones :)
The blowing it off as jealousy and hate may make some people feel better, but it is pretty bogus. I loved Lance Armstrong and Floyd Landis. Now they disgust me. It isn't jealousy or hate. As far as stickum on gloves or even deflated balls, they are nothing. The video b.s. is akin to cyclists doping.

The Pats were not hiding anything or denying filming from the wrong place, they were overly punished and moved on. the rest of the world has not.
As far as air pressure, the Pats denied tampering with the balls and the NFL took the other side and went out of their way to try to show it was probable Tom knew about it. They did not buy the science of cold weather which is the truth but you haters believe what you want if it makes you sleep better at night.

The team goes out of their way to be sure to follow all procedures correctly especially since 2007 and yet because they are a level above other teams it is just assumed that they must cheat. That is very unfair to all the players and coaches who work their collective asses off to be successful.

The more you hate the more we win, keep up the good work.

Read this article from the Times last year and found it pretty fascinating from a psychological aspect. Applies not only to our sports preferences, but obviously politics, religion, etc

Do you realize the Eagles have a player who was suspended for 10 games last year for his second positive PED test?

What about the tampering with Byron Maxwell a couple years ago?

It’s ok to admit you hate the Patriots. You say you don’t but your actions say otherwise.

Dismissing it as hate is really lame and tired. Luckily the dynasty ends next week!
