jhowdy54 Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Look at this hit. Amendola was the return man and the Chiefs player was going to attempt to down the football. Amendola received a personal foul but the ball was downed at the 2 yard line. It was half the distance so the Patriots suffered a 1 yard penalty for this hit.

oldschooler Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 He doesn't have the history. I don't think Burfict will serve 3 games anyway. Maybe 1. Also Belicheck said that was a legal play ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArizonaRising Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 That's a joke. Any Chiefs (or any team other than NE, Seattle or Stealers) player makes that cheap shot and they are thrown out for targeting a defenseless player with a helmet to helmet hit. Cowardly or straight up crooked refs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooky Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Please humor me. Anybody that says the Amendola or Shazier play was legal, please explain to me why the Burdock hit on Brown was not legal. It was nowhere near as violent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's not a QB or a defenseless receiver, please feel free to try to seperate his head from his body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Dub Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 Darn! Those idiot refs are at it again!If only there was something like a "sports league" or whatever that was responsible for them... Make being a ref sort of like a "job" where your "performance" is "reviewed" and you could be "fired" if you "suck at your job"? Someone should really do something about that.

scharm Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Seems simple to me. Lower your head and leave your feet. Outside tackle box or in open field. PENALTY. Then fine/suspend accordingly.There's very little difference in the Mitchell/Eifert and Shazier/Gio and the one above. Very dangerous and always have been dangerous. Basically using the helmet as a weapon when the defender could easily run through the player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why is there no talk of him being fined for his hit? They must've looked at it. Is it because they saw that he shouldn't have been flagged in the first place?

scharm Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Shawn Williams was just a bad call. IMO, humans don't have the ability to determine that in real time. All should be reviewed but the hits I referenced above at the time of the play see them lower their head and launch basically using it as a weapon.Either go that route or go back to letting them blow themselves up.

Khatmandude Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 John Parry, the head ref, apologized to Marvin and said the Williams hit on Wheaton shouldn't have been a penalty. The thing is, that's all they have to do, is apologize. Their (error prone) decisions cost people their jobs and all the refs have to do is apologize afterwards.

Makes complete sense Always has been my point: the league has saddled these guys with regulations so multitudinous and complex, there is no possible way for any of them to be called consistently or equitably. They have completely altered the game to the point that penalties (or lack thereof) are consistently changing the outcome of games. This is not how it is supposed to be.

Consider the possibility that they've done this on purpose. The more vague the rules are the easier it gets to cheat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khatmandude Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Consider the possibility that they've done this on purpose. The more vague the rules are the easier it gets to cheat.I completely allow this to be within the realm of possibilities as to what's going on. Vague rules are much easier to selectively enforce and selective enforcement can very easily sway a game towards the direction of a certain team(s). It's a slanted table. It can't be stated enough....the NFL is a multi billion dollar industry. When you're dealing with that much money, there is going to be corruption. I have zero doubts the NFL has been infiltrated long ago. The manifestation of the infiltration is what we are now seeing. Get used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you suggesting that when billions of dollars are at stake people might not always base their decisions on the highest of altruistic moral principles?Take off the tinfoil hat, you crazy person! Next you're going to try and tell us that sometimes people lie to protect their interests! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooky Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 And of course, his team still being in contention plays a huge part in his punishment, word has supposedly come down that he will be fined, but wait until after Sunday's game to see if they've nailed anything down. Yet it took less than a couple of days to suspend Burdock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
