Can I have my helmet back please?

Absolutely, let me put it back on for you too.

 

Garret was targeting Rudolph's head all game, I mentioned it above, Rudolph was hit in the head by Garret 5 or 6 times before this incident, it was not a 1 time deal

 

As a paid professional, having self-restraint and discipline in the heat of the moment of a GAME should be something Garrett should be accountable for. Being suspended for the year and into next should've been what Goodell handed him.

The QB could've been severely injured and he has a prior concussion history too. Unforgivable idiotic moment by the Browns player. Period. And :ibjupitersolossaysdemons:...

 

Will Garrett ever face assault charges? Just wondering.

 

He should.

 

I personally wouldn't push for it but I also didn't just take a helmet to the head

 

Intentionally wielded too. As a weapon. This isn't even a tackle. This is attempt to injure deliberately not even from a PLAY.

 

Clearly the Demons told him to do it H

Word around here is that Rudolph's agent is a lawyer and is looking into if charges can be filed

 

Who started the fight? Who tried to walk away?

If there’s a case, it’s a PR stunt.

 

Regardless, to rip off the QB's helmet and swing and connect?

 

Are you talking about football or criminal conduct?

From a criminal perspective, there is a suspect, a victim, and a weapon in an aggravated assault. QB’s and DE’s don’t mean anything. You don’t get to pick a fight, get stabbed, and then say the guy assaulted you. That’s not how any of this works.

From a football perspective, Myles lost his mind and committed a heinous act of sportsmanship. I won’t apologize for him. What he did was wrong. The part that confuses me the most is that I watched literally everyone of his college games live or same day. We never saw this. Richy Incognito showed his thug side at Nebraska. Michael Bennett wasn’t an angel in college either. Myles wasn’t like that. That doesn’t excuse what he did though.

But to call someone a criminal is a step our society says has to be beyond doubt. Rudolph got tackled and tried to rip off Myles’ helmet. He isn’t an innocent bystander here, victim of a rampaging mad man, so let’s not pretend like he is.

 

I remember when the Canadians tried pressing charges against Chara

 

If fights resulting from an inherently violent sport involving one guy hitting another in the head when he's not wearing a helmet is assault then the NHL can just shut down now.

This incident was a lot of things, but taking it to criminal assault seems way over the top IMO.

 

K. Dunno...not an expert on the matter. But, if say, the guy injured the QB so badly that it fractured his skull and something terrible happened, is that assault then?

It's just with pure luck IMO that the helmet connected on the thickest part of the skull.

I'm not debating you guys per se. Just seriously asking.

 

In the case that someone starts a fight with you, you have a right to defend yourself. My example about someone getting stabbed isn’t hypothetical. It’s happened, and there were no charges pressed.

 

I remember when Andre Johnson whipped Finnegan around like a little bitch, ripped off his helmet, and punched him three times. And we all cheered him on for doing it.

 

I'm not a fan of the apology to Rudolph via the media, no matter who wrote it. (Garrett, his agent, etc)

 

The difference is that Andre Johnson was never known for being a dirty or controversial player. Quite the opposite.

Cry foul all you want, I hate the Raiders and Vontaze Burfict, but the NFL hands down arbitrary punishments. Video evidence screws players more than not, and everybody saw that on TNF.

 

I don’t remember crying foul. I laughed at all the Garrett haters. Like Doom bro-shaming him because he doesn’t power lift the way he wants him to. Garrett is a strong mother fucker.

Shit, I once watched him pull a grown ass man off the turf with just one hand by his face mask.

 

 

Ravens looking good.

 

Scary

 

so... I'm a little confused... the "trick play" that the Patriots did today, where Brady passed the ball to Edelman and then Edelman to someone in the endzone... wasn't that a backward pass? (from Brady to Edelman)

 

Not sure what you are confused about. Edelman can only throw the ball if he catches a backwards pass from Brady. Same idea from the 2014 Ravens game

 

Also I havent seen Brady this upset after a win in a long time. His post game was maybe 3 questions, all short answers. The offense hasnt had rhythm in a couple weeks

 

Believe it just falls into the category of a lateral, not considered a pass. So Edelman can initiate a forward pass after that. But if he fumbles the toss from Brady, it's a live ball not an incomplete pass.

 

Oh good. Bears can't kick FGs again.

 

Bears make a QB switch. Mitch is officially done in Chicago I believe with this move.

 

Aren't they claiming that he has a hip injury?

 

O RLY.

Dunno. Bears' season is over. No shot at the WC even, IMO.

 

NFC is stacked this year

 

Get the term right. Only bros quarter squat. You can be strong and still squat like shit. I don't hate him, I just said he's already doing one thing stupid, so makes sense he does something else stupid

 

And yet the Eat division winner will be lucky to go .500.

 

Ya but I feel like the NFC East winner is like 10-6 every year. Statistically I might be wrong but I feel like the 1 seed never comes out of the East

 

Ravens look like the most complete team, as long as they are healthy

Kyler Murray is the only QB to get a 100+ passer rating against the 49ers this season, and he did it twice

 

Saw that Niners have hardest schedule for remainder of the season.

 

GB, @BAL, @NO, ATL, LAR and @SEA. Yeah I'd call that a rough schedule to finish out for sure.

 

Could have a huge impact on playoff standings

 

Thanks for rubbing it in.

 

Good thing they haven't played any one good...
