He's been hit much harder than this. Seymour slaps the side of his helmet-he goes down like Monica Lewinsky. Check out the "Ben slapped in face by Dick" comment.

Ramius Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Now, we just need to teach college age girls around the country how to do the "Richard Seymour" to rapelisberger and there wont be any more problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pBills Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I still love the hit. Good thing is that it was hard enough to push his facemask back into his chin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I'm no fan of Small Ben, but I don't think he flopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When your team is getting its ass kicked in hit an unsuspecting player in the face right in front of the refs. There was a penalty called, ejection and a probable major fine for the stupidity. Hooliganism is not an example of smart football, it is the reason for losing football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWings Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 (edited) I'm no fan of Small Ben, but I don't think he flopped. Please....he's been hit harder by DLs and LBs and stayed up. It was clearly a flop to draw the flag. That was probably a legitimate reason for the ejection, but c'mon - this isn't hockey.

That was probably a legitimate reason for the ejection, but c'mon - this isn't hockey. As above. It was an open handed slap to the helmet. Then he laid down on the ground for like half an hour.

Doc Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 After looking at the video again, that was no flop. Had he stumbled backwards and flailed his arms, or even hopped right back up after, I'd say yes. Seymour cold-cocked him and he went down instantly.

Had he stumbled backwards and flailed his arms, or even hopped right back up after, I'd say yes. Seymour cold-cocked him and he went down instantly. I agree. Remember this is Richard Seymour folks. Also Ben was totally unprepeared for it, and it looks like it went under his facemask. Everyone who posted in this topic would have been knocked down as well. This is called a sucker punch. No way he fell down to draw a flag, as this would have been a flag either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 From what I could see, he didn't slap his helmet. He got him underneath a little. I'm sure it hurt a lot. I say no flop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdog1960 Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 did i miss something? looked like a palm heel strike to the chin. from somebody with seymour's strength, that's pretty likely to make anyone flop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way he fell down to draw a flag, as this would have been a flag either way Yes, because we're all of the same physical stature as Roethlisberger. Sure, it may have come as a surprise to him and I still think it was a legitimate reason to eject Seymour, but I still think it was a flop.

No way he fell down to draw a flag, as this would have been a flag either way His hand clearly never goes under the mask--it slides off the side. Look again. He does "flail his arms". Of course it was a sucker punch. Of course we would all go down. Ben is tougher than you and me. Flopola. A Stanislavski, as Johnnie Most would say.

And he is apparently too stupid to hate on the right guy in this situation: Seymour. Of course, Seymour is a former Pat* and WEO is a Pat*'s nob gobbler.
