"I don't know why it wasn't a penalty"
Boomer Esiason on Pollard's hit on Brady.
What the fuck? Pollard's being held, basically crawls into Brady's leg with a guy draped on his back, and that's a penalty? On Pollard? I could see some bitching if he came in untouched and dove for his knees, but jesus christ, do they even watch the plays, or just see that Brady got hurt and feel outrage that a defensive player dared lay hands on a quarterback, much less Brady... |
Bryant Gumble called a clean hit.

I heard that too.... did not know if it was Boomer or Marino that had said that.
What an ass. I am of the belief that washed up QB's make for horrid announcers and/or commentators. I cannot recall the last QB that transitioned to the booth that was worth a plug nickle. |
Boomer = douche
|
Its cause he went low alot of times that does get called.

The league is really really into protecting QB's there have been some really shitty things called before, so people get use to it then expect it.

It doesn't make it good. It doesn't make it dirty. It's a shitty situation all around. Much like Kimo Von Kneepoppin diving into Palmer. With all due respect though, if Pollard just lays there and Brady throws a perfect strike, we all shit on him for quitting or being a poor blitzer.
|
We need to put Sharp and Esiason in a cage fight to the death and hope that they kill each other. I could really root for the guys then plus it would be a boost for all humanity.

if Pollard had pulled back
he could have lost his starting spot |
You're not allowed to hit the quarterback from the knee down. It's as simple as that. In fact, you're supposed to "make every effort to avoid such contact." That's the rule.
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2389062 Safety was also a big winner during Wednesday's meeting. Here are the rules that passed involving safety. • A rushing defensive player won't be allowed to forcibly hit a quarterback below the knees. He has to make every effort to avoid such a low hit. Palmer, Griese and Roethlisberger suffered knee injuries on low hits but those three plays were considered legal by the committee because they involved defensive rushers coming off blocks. Several other plays such as the old Rodney Harrison hit on Trent Green when he was with the Rams along with a Jared Allen low hit on Kerry Collins would be subject to a 15-yard penalty. That proposal passed, 25-7. |
You have to tackle the guy. If you are on the ground, you can't pull him down by the shoulder pads. He didn't dive for his knees, he wasn't Rodney Harrison. He made a hard-nosed play.

And I wouldn't have been surprised if it was called because those rules go overboard....like touching a QB's helmet with your hand will draw a flag alot of the time.

That's what they'll look for in the film review. Like I said on another thread, don't be suprised if Pollard gets a fine/suspension. |

Of course he said that. If Brady doesn't play, these media types can't suck him off...
|
I think the non-call on Deltha O'neal on that fourth down play is much more of an issue. Yes, the defender has the right to go for the ball, but he doesn't have the right to impede the progress of the receiver, even if he is looking for the ball.

Has all photo evidence of two possible safties
been erased from evidence even if it exsisted |

I would have loved to beat them in overtime, though. Upset of the year in week one. Ah well. Now we're down to 15-1. |
Moss says Pollard knocked out Brady with dirty hit
Patriots wide receiver Randy Moss said after Sunday's 17-0 win against the Chiefs that he thought safety Bernard Pollard's first-quarter hit on Brady, which resulted in a game-ending knee injury, wasn't clean. "To me, personally, it looked dirty to me," Moss said. "When stuff like that happens, it opens eyes. That particularly situation, it opened my eyes." On that play, Brady threw deep to Moss before Pollard fell into Brady's left leg. Brady's knee buckled, and he lay on the field for a few minutes before limping off the field. He didn't return. Pollard said Sunday he didn't believe the hit was dirty on last year's NFL MVP. But Moss said he hopes Pollard hasn't heard the end of it. "Hopefully the league will look into it," Mos said. "If it’s good, it’s good. If it’s bad, it’s bad." Read more reaction, including a full response from Pollard, in Monday's edition of The Star. http://chiefsblog.kansascity.com/?q=node/232 |

Well, if Randy Moss says it, it must be true.

If the league fines Pollard, I'll be shocked and disappointed.
And fug Moss--how could he have seen it? He was 40 yards downfield fumbling without being hit when Brady went down. |

I don't know why the Chiefs' final offensive play wasn't a penalty.
Hobbs took D-Bowe's wallet. |
If it was such a dirty play, I'm thinking we could have found another dirty play to let loose on Cassell, especially after he took the Pats 99 yards on us.
|
any team that employs Randy Moss is cursed
|
they just assumed Bowe would have dropped it anyway
the kids need feed and the yard mowed |

With Brady out, there's gonna be a shareholder's hit from the loss of synergy with 'CBS Scene.'
