NFL: "Open Season" on QBs?

**Mr. Kotter** · 10:38 PM

You know, on the one hand....it would have been hard to "stop his (Geather's) momentum." On the other, every rule for the last ten years has screamed....."don't lay a finger on the QB." And the rule says, once the QB hook-slides, you don't touch the dude.....but.....

If Geathers isn't fined for what he did against Green last week....am I a bad person for praying for Jared Allen or DJ to flat-out send Plummer (and Cutler) into La-La land this weekend?

FWIW, I'm dead serious. If they are NOT gonna call "foul" on the Geathers-Green hit....I admit, I'm thinking...."fugg it; send that Bronco bastard to the hospital too."

I'll repent on Sunday....

I dunno, it certainly is confusing, isn't it?

What's confusing is the mixed message being sent:

on the one hand, "don't TOUCH the QB" after a hook-slide....on the other, well, if you "can't stop momentum"....well....it's okay.

Not to me, the Raiders have always been cheap shot artist and I have never wished for a Raider to be hurt. Same applies in this instance, if the rules are inconsistent I understand and don't like it. However I also hate the fact that Kennison was clearly blocking in the back on the same play. The Chiefs cheating and injuring on purpose the opposing team is still wrong. Always will be.

I'll forgive a block in the back EVERY time....if the intent was to try to spare you QB an viscous hit.

There was no block in the back. Jim is imagining things.

Imagining, or hallucinating...ya think?

I'm not talking about cheating, or lowering yourself to their level....just asking if giving "Kharma" a bit of a nudge is okay....

But will you say the same thing about Warner/Leinart?

**Bugeater** · 09-13-2006, 10:35 PM

You know as soon as one of our guys tries something he'll be flagged, ejected, fined, suspended and nuthooked.

Yup. Exactly what I'm thinking.

...but not every cheap shot has a Kennison on the grassy knoll...

**OnTheWarpath15** · 09-13-2006, 10:35 PM

A bit overboard....While I hate Denver, they had nothing to do with it.....but they could help us out.....

As far as a little karma is concerned, I wouldn't mind Mr Geathers receiving an early Christmas present in the form of a Donkey-trademarked -chop-block at Invesco on Christmas Eve......

Well, YOU obviously aren't a "REAL" fan.....I mean seriously. This is DENVER we are talking about.....I mean, my second favorite team each week? It's whoever is playing DENVER. I'm dead serious. I even cheer for the Faders when they play DENVER.....
