Skwirl posted:The kicker wasn't actually hurt though, right. They spiked the ball ball and brought him out to kick the next one, which he made, then there was another bullshit penalty that invalidated that. Call out the bullshit penalties, but stop claiming Sherman tried to kill the kicker when you know he's a good enough player that if he wanted to snap off someone's kneecap he could've. Sherman is not an anime real life doesn't work like that

Grittybeard posted:I will take the utterly insane position that Sherman is not a 'good enough player' to injure people at will. Dude made a dangerous play, luckily no one was hurt even if the guy did go full soccer player rolling around on the ground. I'm going to take the position that Richard Sherman tripped while trying to block a kick and didn't specifically set out to cripple his opponent.

i mean you can say it was a dangerous play he tried to make but to actually believe his intent was to injure someone is pretty ridiculous he's isn't james harrison or anything

If he'd injured the kicker I'd say "I don't give a poo poo what you meant to do, you've ruined a guys life," but no one was injured in the play. If he was trying to snap the kicker's leg and failed, then throw the loving book at him, but if he wasn't and tripped or failed to stop and no one was seriously hurt, then what the gently caress is the issue?

Skwirl posted:And how many points did they lose by? 6. Which means if they had 3 more points they had about a 95% chance at a tie game, given the redzone position, instead of being forced to go for it on a 4th and 10. Stop bullshitting yourself and us.

This is about the third time I've seen someone call it a "trip." What did he trip on? His own shoes? The grass? He was loving diving. And he was definitely not diving towards the ball. He had to reach back behind himself when he realized he dived too early, in the wrong drat direction, at the kicker. Two Tone Shoes fucked around with this message at 07:08 on Nov 8, 2016 |

He was diving towards where most blocked kicks are blocked, a foot or two in front of the spot it is held at. If you dive exactly at the ball as it is being kicked you're usually going to get there a second after the ball left. If you dive in front you usually intersect with the balls flight path. The problem is Sherman misstimed the kick and ended up getting there early. I absolutely agree that it is a penalty. I do not think it was malicious, especially since Sherman has no history of malicious hits or dirty shots. Yes, he is a player who breaks the rules often by holding or interfering, but he's definitely not in the camp of Brandon Merriweather or James Harrison. Considering the nature of the sport I think the benefit of the doubt should be in order unless the player has a history of illegal and dirty shots. Sherman hasn't made a career out of tearing ACLs or inflicting concussions; he's famous for intelligent play that often bends and breaks the rules, but doesn't endanger careers and health. The guy even writes articles condemning the league for its lip service to player safety. I don't see why he should immediately be thrown into the same category as Vontaze Burfict.

I'll concede that the Bills maybe could have tied the game with a field goal if the field goal in question hadn't been thrown out with bullshit penalties,TG-Chrono posted:Hahaha what a dipshit but I still have no idea what part of this applied.

Yes, he is a player who breaks the rules often by holding or interfering, but he's definitely not in the camp of Brandon Merriweather or James Harrison. If this was true every single time he, or anyone really, tried to block a FG they would run into the kicker. Carpenter had already planted his leg and was starting to kick when Sherman got there about .5 seconds early. Carpenter's position wasn't off from a normal FG attempt when Sherman ran into him. Maybe it was his weird adjustment to try to reach back for the ball, due to his early start, that caused him run into Carpenter's leg and go at that bad angle but I find that hard to believe when Sherman's telling reporters that Carpenter should've just not kicked the ball because Sherman was diving at his leg. If you want to give him the benefit of the doubt then fine. I'm not even saying Sherman's some gross, filthy player and I'm not the one who started naming dirty players. This was just a stone cold dirty play. I assume he won't make a habit of it. Two Tone Shoes fucked around with this message at 07:32 on Nov 8, 2016 |

Chichevache posted:The guy even writes articles condemning the league for its lip service to player safety. Then he's a hypocrite, because he absolutely set an example of disregarding the kickers safety (and even blaming the kicker for going through with the kick) which was then reinforced by the pathetic refereeing at the half. Charge down the kicker, only give up 5 yards and probably make it harder (if not impossible) to do again that game. I've stopped paying for any kind of NFL service over this continued bullshit. And seriously the rules do not allow for WRs to get laid out on the other side of the field once the QB has left the pocket. Blocks have to be "In actual attempt to get at or tackle runner." otherwise it's holding.
