      Look at it again. That's the first replay of that play I have seen and it was a cheap shot. He threw a forearm right to his head. If there is no questioning or league fine for that hit then Mangenious better bitch to the league about it!!

          I know the Browns did not play well at all last night, but in watching that last play, the fact is the hit that was laid on Cribbs was worst kind of CHEAP SHOT. Cribbs was completely out of the play, and the Ravens player came and gave him a blind shot forarm shiver to the neck and head. It is also highly possible that the play was already dead.

          Somewhere I heard that the guys name was Brandon McKinney? Well, that motherf**ker should not be allowed to make a living in the National Football League henceforth. Minimally, he should be suspended for the rest of this season.

          The son of a bitch should never be allowed to step foot into the City of Cleveland again.

          I am serious. That play was worse than the play that Jack Tatum laid on Darryl Stingley. At least there, Stingley had the ball and was facing Tatum who laid into him. Here, Cribbs was at that point a bystander on the play, and this asshole blind sided him.

          When I saw that I wanted to take a baseball bat to that c**ks**ker.

            I didn't think the hit on Cribbs was dirty. For all he knew Cribbs was gonna lay one hell of a block on him, so he did the logical thing. Brady on Suggs...still not sure. Only saw it briefly and it looked like he hit him in the thigh to me. Just trying in my opinion to clear the blocker so that the ball carrier could be tackled. Like I said I only saw it briefly

            *edit for spelling/grammar

              I don't know WTF you guys are looking at. It was a blind side forearm shiver to the neck and head.

              If that isn't a cheap shot, then there is no such thing as a cheap shot in the NFL....unless you bring a pistol with you onto the field.

                I don't think the guy was innocently just in pursuit, but I don't believe it was a cheap shot. He was within his rights to at least make contact with Cribbs, after all, it could have been a fake pitch to Royal. But he didn't need to use a forearm. It's football, if a player runs across my face, I'm going to hit him no matter where he is looking. But I'm not going to put a forearm into his neck, I'll leave that to Hines Ward.

                  I saw Quinn take down Suggs at the game and I just watched it a few more times on reply. I see a QB take out the lead blocker with a helmet to the thigh. Most QB's after they throw a pick are no where to be seen, or getting the cheap shot themselves.

                  Your going to tell me you don't see hits like that all the time? Really could care less about Suggs or any other Ravens player for that matter.

                  But then again I could really care less if the Ravens and Steelers planes collided in mid-air.

                  If you're going to lean on the fact that a flag was thrown on the play, I also watched the ref's throw a flag when Flacco was cleanly sacked with no illegal hit in site.

                  Either put a skirt on them all, or wrap flags around their waist and play powderpuff.

                  Kill em' all, let the medics sort em' out.

                    You can't look at the play in context to what happened in the 50's, 60's, & 70's. The QB was allowed to be hit then too. Looking at that play in context with today's rules and regulations, that is a cheap shot!

                    Also...does anyone have a clip of the supposed cheap shot by Quinn? I would like to see that again, before I make a call on that one.

                        How you can watch that clip and the one where Quinn went out of his way to cheap shot Suggs and then complain about the hit on Cribbs is astounding!

                        Here it is in slow mo...

                        I've watched this clip over and over...pausing at the point of impact. Brady Quinn hit him above the knee on his upper thigh. Look at it yourself! And make sure you have your eyes open and your glasses on or your contacts in. Brady did not throw a cheapshot there. The initial contact was above the knees where it should be...right near the waistline. What happens after initial contact is all incidental. It was actually a bad penalty call. Quinn made the right hit and got wrongly flagged for it.

                          There was a flag on the play...they had to fine him for that. Brady should send that fine right to the officiating crew. As I stated above...watch the play again and pause at the moment of impact...Brady's shoulder hits near Sugg's right hip...not the knee!

                            I never commented on the Quinn play as I did not see it when I happened.

                            But, again, I say that if you do not think the cheap shot on Cribbs was not a cheap shot, then you must think that there is no such thing as a cheap shot in the NFL, including the Quinn thing.

                            Cribbs was out of the play. Had long given up control of the ball. He was turned sideways to the guy who hit him, whoever he was. The guy leaped at Cribbs with his forearm and struck him in the neck or head.

                            Tell you what. Go stand on a street corner somewhere. I'll come up from your side, I will use my forearm to deliver a blow to your head or neck where you don't see it coming. Then tell me if you think that is not a cheap shot.

                              Couple things here Gip... Uh, where to start? Ummm... McKinney's hit was well within the rules. And well within what I would consider acceptable boundaries. And to compare that to Jack Tatum's hit on Darryl Stingley is just irresponsible. For one thing, the ball you speak of wasn't within 15 yards of Stingley at the point of impact. It had been tipped and was fluttering through the endzone. Stingley was in the air above the 10 yard line. At the time, the "code" was - a tipped ball, the receiver is fair game. Tatum took the opportunity to flex his manhood, and nearly killed a guy... in a preseason game. In this day and age he'd have been ejected, fined, and lucky not to be charged with assault by the local prosecutor's office, or at least sued in civil court.

                              Cribbs, flipped the ball to another player took two steps and got hit. He needs to be looking for that hit. It's no different than hitting a quarterback carrying out a fake. Was it too much of a hit? Maybe. He probably didn't have to go up top with it. But it was just a hard physical football play. Cribbs is fine. The kid caught him with a good shot. Let's not go overboard, here.

                                  If that isn't a cheap shot, then there is no such thing as a cheap shot in the NFL....unless you bring a pistol with you onto the field.

                                  I was looking at the play.

                                  Not to make this sound bad, but Josh tossed and then relaxed...the hit wasn't that long after the toss, and the forearm looked more like a guy making a normal reaction if it looks like someones head is going to hit yours....you put your arms up....this wasn't like Sapp hurting that Packer player 3-4 years back, and I don't think that was flagged as cheap at the time

                                    I know the Browns did not play well at all last night, but in watching that last play, the fact is the hit that was laid on Cribbs was worst kind of CHEAP SHOT. Cribbs was completely out of the play, and the Ravens player came and gave him a blind shot forarm shiver to the neck and head. It is also highly possible that the play was already dead.

                                    Somewhere I heard that the guys name was Brandon McKinney? Well, that motherf**ker should not be allowed to make a living in the National Football League henceforth. Minimally, he should be suspended for the rest of this season.

                                    The son of a bitch should never be allowed to step foot into the City of Cleveland again.

                                    I am serious. That play was worse than the play that Jack Tatum laid on Darryl Stingley. At least there, Stingley had the ball and was facing Tatum who laid into him. Here, Cribbs was at that point a bystander on the play, and this asshole blind sided him.

                                    When I saw that I wanted to take a baseball bat to that c**ks**ker.

                                    It wasn't Brandon McKinney.

                                    The hit was made by Dwan Edwards (Oregon State grad). He was fined 5k.

                                    Quinn was fined 10k for his hit on Suggs.

                                      like maybe the guy that hit him anticipating being blocked

                                        Couple things here Gip... Uh, where to start? Ummm... McKinney's hit was well within the rules. And well within what I would consider acceptable boundaries. And to compare that to Jack Tatum's hit on Darryl Stingley is just irresponsible. For one thing, the ball you speak of wasn't within 15 yards of Stingley at the point of impact. It had been tipped and was fluttering through the endzone. Stingley was in the air above the 10 yard line. At the time, the "code" was - a tipped ball, the receiver is fair game. Tatum took the opportunity to flex his manhood, and nearly killed a guy... in a preseason game. In this day and age he'd have been ejected, fined, and lucky not to be charged with assault by the local prosecutor's office, or at least sued in civil court.

                                        Cribbs, flipped the ball to another player took two steps and got hit. He needs to be looking for that hit. It's no different than hitting a quarterback carrying out a fake. Was it too much of a hit? Maybe. He probably didn't have to go up top with it. But it was just a hard physical football play. Cribbs is fine. The kid caught him with a good shot. Let's not go overboard, here.

                                        I have seen both the Tatum play and the Cribbs play, and I see absolutely no difference in them. The ONLY difference is perhaps that McKinney's hit was not, apparently as "strategic" as Tatum's hit in that it didn't do the damage as Tatum's hit (or maybe McKinney just wasn't the same caliber hitter as Tatum). But that was not for lack of effort on the part of McKinney.

                                        He gave Cribbs a forearm shiver to the neck on his blindside...long after Cribbs had given up the ball. Pure, plain, simple.

                                          Well, yea, you make my point. Cribbs was nowhere involved in the action of the play at the time. He had handed it off and strolled away. Call it "quitting" on the play if you want. McKinney wasn't looking to make a tackle on the play at all. He was looking to cheap shot an "uninvolved" player.

                                          This was by far worse than the stuff that Hines Ward has occasionally been accused of. Ward has on occasion, hit people on the blind side with a forearm to the neck. But at least he is in the act of "blocking" a potential tackler...a plausibly defendable action. McKinney wasn't doing that. His job was to tackle a ball carrier. Cribbs has long given up being the ball carrier and had moved about 10 yards after giving it up.
