Did you see that play that Aqib Talib did? The guy gets a ONE GAME suspension??? And he's appealing it?????? The guy could have ended someone's career with a cheap shot like that. He doesn't belong on a NFL field.
Same with the guy that knocked out Teddy Bridgewater. To me, that was also a cheap shot. I'm not a Vikings fan, but I don't believe in that kind of crap on ANY team.
These guys are getting away with more and more, and getting slaps on the wrist.

Agree both unnecessary. But something needs to be done about QBs. I've seen enough occasions where QBs know defenders are going to pull up either running OB or sliding so they make a fake move and than get extra yards as a result. Perhaps a penalty against the QB.
The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

That's true. And you are right, they should address that very fact.

Of course if Goodell suspends him for more than one game, everyone will bitch that he has too much authority.

Talib's actions were unacceptable - especially when he is claiming it was an accident. Pretty sure the odds are slim that you are going to try to poke a guy's helmet, and accidentally poke him in the eye - and with excessive force at that. That kind of stupidity can jeopardize someone's career. He should miss at least the remainder of the season, as it is plainly obvious to even my coworker who is a Denver fan.

The hit on Teddy I am split on. While he did come in quick with his shoulder lowered, he also appeared to be trying to avoid excessive contact once Teddy went into a slide. The penalty was probably justified, but a fine might be a bit much. Either way, tough call for me. As much as I don't like Minnesota, I would hate to see a guy like Bridgewater have his career cut short. Maybe it is due to me getting older, but I hate seeing injuries regardless of the team.

All the above said, I am also agreeing that something should be done about these QBs taking advantage of the contact rules. After the hit clay put on Kaepernick a while back, it was obvious that players are taking advantage of the rules. If a player takes off running down the sidelines - they often will step out right before contact to draw the 15 yarder. Some will act as if they are going out of bounds, defensive player lets up on persuit, player stays inbounds and has lots of room to run. A defensive player is bearing down on a scrambling QB, they slide right before contact to draw the flag. There should be more review of these things to consider whether contact was avoidable or not. I'm not fully sure how you deal with the tiptoe ballet dancers down the sidelines, but it is aggravating to see them gain extra yards because they can't be tackled without a 15 yarder tacked on.

In relation to beating the ever living shit out of one's girlfriend garnering only a four game suspension, one game sounds about right here. That, of course, ignores that a suspension of only four games for beating the ever living shit out of one's girlfriend is absurd.

Hardrocker,

I have to disagree on your opinion of the hit on Bridgewater. After just seeing it for the 1st time and rewatching it, the Rams player was going for the knockout. Not only did he lower his shoulder but he actually throws his shoulder and body at him. I think the NFL should take a look at college ball and follow their steps. The refs watch replays and see if they were targeting (as this was the case here) and if so they are ejected for 1 full game.





Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Talib is a punk. He hasn't the GUTS to admit what he did (with TV cameras right on him) and blames the guy he poked for over reacting to it.
A guy could lose his eyesight, and instead of apologizing, he acts like it was the other guy's fault.
Plus, if you are trying to push a guy's helmet, why would you do that with TWO fingers? Wouldn't you use your palm of your hand?
It was SOOO obvious what he intended to do, yet he acts like the victim.
ONE game.......NOT justice.
I bet he will get paid back by someone in the NFL for his cowardly actions.

We use to have some real cheap shot artists like Bill Romanowski, John Lynch, Mark Carrier, that safety from Jackonsvilee that damn near decapitated Robert Ferguson; and many more. There is a lot few dirty hits in the league than their use to be.

Aqib Talib should be suspended, no question about it.

The hit on Teddy Bridgwater. I have only seen it once or twice and didn't really see it as malicious at all. Yesterday I read Adrian Peterson felt the same way. It almost looked like the player was trying to pull up and twist out of the way and unfortunately hit Teddy in the head. Guess I'll have to watch the play again.

Fan Shout
packerfanoutwest (16m) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath
packerfanoutwest (18m) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.
packerfanoutwest (29m) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed
Zero2Cool (2h) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them
Zero2Cool (3h) : I just checked. What tie breaker?
bboystyle (3h) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner
Zero2Cool (3h) : Ahh, ok.
bboystyle (3h) : yes due to tie breaker
Zero2Cool (3h) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.
Zero2Cool (3h) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?
bboystyle (3h) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference
Mucky Tundra (4h) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network
beast (4h) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th
beast (4h) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly
Zero2Cool (4h) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.
bboystyle (4h) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed
Mucky Tundra (5h) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv
Zero2Cool (5h) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno
beast (5h) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?
packerfanoutwest (5h) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans
Zero2Cool (6h) : I see what you did there Mucky
Zero2Cool (6h) : dammit. 3:25pm
Zero2Cool (6h) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm
Mucky Tundra (6h) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground
Mucky Tundra (6h) : Yeah baby!
Zero2Cool (7h) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah
Zero2Cool (8h) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.
beast (8h) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue
Zero2Cool (9h) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's
Zero2Cool (9h) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.
packerfanoutwest (9h) : ok I stand corrected
Zero2Cool (9h) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th
Zero2Cool (9h) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?
beast (9h) : Saying no to the 6th lock.
beast (9h) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out
Zero2Cool (9h) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.
beast (9h) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games
beast (9h) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality
beast (9h) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs
Zero2Cool (9h) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread
Zero2Cool (9h) : I literally just said it.
packerfanoutwest (9h) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't
Zero2Cool (9h) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.
Zero2Cool (9h) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.
packerfanoutwest (9h) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what
Zero2Cool (9h) : Packers should get in. I just hope it's not 7th seed. Feels dirty.
packerfanoutwest (9h) : If packers lose out, no matter what, they are in
packerfanoutwest (9h) : both teams can not male the playoffs....falcon hold the tie breaker
packerfanoutwest (10h) : if bucs win out they win their division
beast (10h) : Fine, Buccaneers and Falcons can get ahead of us
