The Browns as an organization deserve that kind of injury, but Nick Chubb didn't. Who from what I've heard is probably the best "person" on their team.

 

Rapist Watson deserved that to happen to his leg, which would have been cosmic justice. As it stands, Chubb pays the pittance for his QB's sins.

OMG... Just saw jungle tiger's post and clip.

Horrible cheap shot.

Fitzpatrick should be suspended for the year or longer.


Is what he did illegal…by NFL rules?  He went low to tackle a running back.  Is that not allowed?    :shrug:  

 

 

[Now I need to go take a shower, as I feel like like my questions may possibly be construed as defending a stealer.]

Browns' Deshaun Watson avoids ejection after pushing official, commits 2 personal fouls in loss

Watson's costly fumble resulted in the Stealers' go-ahead touchdown

 

 

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson had an aggressive night against the Pittsburgh Stealers on Monday and appeared to get a little chippy with some of the opposing players.

In the third quarter, Watson ran to his left and tried to escape Stealers linebacker Kwon Alexander as he went out of bounds. However, Watson grabbed Alexander’s facemask, and their momentum together pushed the defender toward the Stealers bench.

Alexander and the Stealers coaches and players on the sidelines were not happy. Alexander had to be held back, and as Watson started to chip, he appeared to push an official out of the way. Contact with an official is supposed to warrant an ejection, but Watson stayed in the game.

Instead, Watson was flagged for unnecessary roughness – a personal foul, and it would not be the only one of the night.

Watson was again flagged for a personal foul in the fourth quarter on a scramble. He grabbed linebacker Nick Herbig by the facemask and pushed him down to the ground.

Cleveland was up 22-19 at that point, but it would not last long.

The Browns quarterback later fumbled, and Stealers star T.J Watt picked up the ball and returned it for a touchdown. Pittsburgh went up 26-22 and never looked back.

Watson was 22-for-40 with 235 passing yards, a touchdown and an interception which was returned for a touchdown. He was sacked six times.

His low hit was dirty, but not illegal or against the rules. There's sort of an unspoken brotherhood agreement to try and avoid direct hits to the knee, but it is allowed on non QBs (and in Shittsburgh encouraged).

GMFB on Minkah's hit ... 

 

This is, of course, nonsense.  Minkah is a known head hunter as others have said - he's dirty as hell.  And from a defensive players perspective, I'm sorry - he's not going to go low like that *in sight of the goal line* unless it's with malicious intent.  His assignment is to stop the guy from attempting to reach the nearby goal line, you don't do that by diving at a guy's lower legs.  I would go as far as to say he saw his teammate engaging high and took the opportunity to take advantage of it.  Look how he went into him - no shoulder, no face-up, he threw his back directly at his knee.  Dirty.

He’s a Steeler. There are no dirty Steeler players. They’re hard nosed and physical. 🙄

 

And no one is mentioning the blatant hold that Joey Porter, Jr. had on the Browns receiver at the end of the game. The refs “missed” it. He’s picking up where Daddy left off.

There are more rules in the NFL rulebook named after specific Pittsburgh Stealers players, prohibiting specific injurious actions they undertook in games, than any other team.  The Kimo von Oelhoffen rule makes it illegal to hit a defenseless Quarterback low or below the knees.  The Hines Ward rule makes it illegal to lead with the crown of the helmet into the chin to shatter an opponents jaw.  There are others.


Last night, Steeler Minkah Fitzpatrick will join that club as he ended Nick Chubb's season, and possibly his career, by diving head-first and forcefully into the side of Chubb's knee while he was being held up by a teammate. It was deliberate, and it was devastating. It was so bad that ESPN refused to broadcast the replay - it's absolutely stomach-turning.

 

This mentality of attempting to injure opponents must end.  It starts with the coaching staff and permeates the entire atmosphere of that team.  Fitzpatrick and head coach Mike Tomlin must be held accountable.

 

They won't, of course, as Goodell will continue to protect them. But the 31 owners not named Rooney must step forward now and put a stop to this.

And who can forget the infamous Ryan Shazier LAUNCHING himself head-first into Dalton's chin and ending his own career after being paralyzed.  No better for him

 

Stealers are dirty, period, and they're coached that way.

Tomlin and his team of "goons" (a term HE coined himself!). Scum

Not Dalton.  Josh Malone.  Otherwise your points stand.
