  • free td? explain how a wide open receiver gives us a free td

  • sorry to break your "we would've won if the steelers weren't cheating" theory, but this also happened earlier to a QB and said after he tucks the ball he is considered a RB and helmet to helmet hits don't apply.

    this is what happens when you run the "wildfag" offense.

    i don't think anyone was implying that. you guys won. i'm not serving up any excuses. congats on the win. harrison is still a dick.

  • see, this is how i know all you pansies played golf or some shit in stainland. if you ever had played football you'd understand that with the speed of the game these hits are almost NEVER intended.

    man up, quit playing shuttleboard, and learn what it means to play football.

    Woodley was held and pulled down by his jersey. By rule thats a holding penalty. The refs ignored it and gave you guys the free td.

  • Dr. James Harrison had this to say (per the PD):

    "I thought Cribbs was asleep," said Harrison, the 2008 NFL Defensive Player of the Year. "A hit like that geeks you up -- it geeks everybody up -- especially when you find out that the guy is not really hurt -- he's just sleeping. He's knocked out, but he's going to be OK. The other guy, I didn't hit that hard, to be honest with you. When you get a guy on the ground, it's a perfect tackle."

    FYI, a hit to the head resulting in unconsciousness is a Grade III (worst type) concussion using AAN and Colorado guidelines. Thanks a lot you ass. You're such a sportsman.

  • alright. anyone, and i do mean anyone, ever play even HS football?

    did you ever have enough time to see a guy and actually have time to think "hey, i'm gonna hit this guy in the head"?

    i'll answer that for you.................................NO.

    the game is played at such a frantic speed, even at that level, that mostly you're just trying to get your hands on the guy.

    so quit acting like this is something Harrison could have even planned. he was trying to play the game like it's supposed to be played......fast, aggressive, and

    not for women.

  • That argument didn't help TJ Ward.

  • I DO ROIDS ... and GIVE HEAD

    Wow ....Really ?? He was Catching a Ball and about to Run down-field with it . Is this not a Contact Sport ?

    my appologies. honestly i've heard so many "Steelers pay the refs, Steelers take roids, the NFL wants to see the Steelers win" theories that this started sounding like another one.

  • I don't think anyone is arguing about hitting helmet to helmet. We're just pissed we get called for the penalty when twice you guys didn't.

  • Harrison's hit on Massaquoi could have been flagged. The one on Cribbs would only be flagged if you thought he was leading with the crown. Cribbs was not a defenseless receiver. Massaquoi was.

  • Harrison deliberately took out Cribbs, who hurt them with the TD's last year, and who would have run a lot of

    plays in the WildDawg to take the heat off McCoy.

    Then he deliberately took out the Browns leading wr.

    and not one flag was thrown in pittstinkburg.

    Official(s) have to be on the take or something. The NFL needs to suspend at least one referree now.

    Harrison is just another cheap shot artist.

    I cannot believe NEITHER flag was thrown.

    Harrison needs to be suspended. A fine does nothing.

    WOW... You guys are out of Control. Thats just Good Hard Football. Seriously the Kind that Make an Offense think twice about things.

  • @spunkonmyback-dpoy said:

    What a dirty player TJ is. He intentionally tried to injure that Bengal when he hit him helmet-to-helmet.

    didn't see the hit, but again........i can remember only like 3 dirty helmet to helmet hits and all 3 occured on a QB when one person was already tying him up and another came in from the side and actually had THE TIME to see it and make sure their helmets collided.

    other than that they are all unintentional.................the game is just played too fast for anything to be intentional.

    Defiantly a Hold... But NOT One Holding Call all day on Browns correct ?

    and honestly, i don't think you guys shouldn't have been penalized. it sucks and you got the short end of the stick.

    the reason it wasn't is because harrison "initiated" contact with his shoulder and then immediately slid into his head. this is actually in the rulebook.

    That's exactly what happened in the Ward hit (one flag and $15K ago).

    yeah, and even after that no one could say for certain if he actually broke the letter of the rule.

    it was just such a vicious hit i think they felt they had to do something.

  • LOOK MOM, NO HANDS!

    @atenears said:

    LOOK MOM, NO HANDS!

    BS ...he was Running through the Play ... Cribbs had ducked to Impact a Tackler and Harrison was going Down low to take him out . Unfortunate incident. And Anteater HARRISON Could get hurt as well if he runs around using his Helmet to tackle all the Time. You must have never played. Helmets hits happen to Every player several time a Game. Going back to Jr High I remember the Hit to the dome. Seriously man...

  • More "deep football discussion", I see.

    I could be wrong, but helmet to helmet hits aren't generally called on running plays, otherwise there would be 50 penalties a game.

    But hey - don't let me interfere with your "deep football discussion". I can't wait until your next nugget of sheer football brilliance.

    (edit - ANTEATERS or someone replaced my original post with a pic of Cribbs getting carted off or something. Pretty lame IMO, but I guess frustration takes it's toll on the simple minded.)

    Actually if the Player has ball and is Running... there is NO RULE of Helmet to Helmet Hit. It Happens all the Time. I remember mendenhall last yr Getting Jacked up like 2 plays in a Row vs. Baltimore.
