Exactly. You're missing the firest for the trees. But carry on. Pitt is gonna put up 35-40 and this game will be over by the end of the third. And dupree stays in the game. Throw him out, and tha ajayi play probably doesnt happen.

? They wouldn't have been able to throw him out before the Ajayi play happened.

Not true - they could signal that it was impending assuming the league made those sorts of plays ejection worthy as a policy. They don't, so players feel that retaliating, no matter how ill directed, is the only way they can respond.

But it's only on replay that you really know what the hit was actually like. And players don't see it the way TV viewers do. Chances are Ajayi wouldn't know for sure nor would all of the officials. It almost wasn't a bad hit. He led with his helmet, but it was three inches from being his shoulder. You can argue all you want about the bad hit but it happens so fast players wouldn't automatically know it was an ejection nor would it stop them one bit from an emotional reaction.

It almost wasn't a bad hit?!? What planet do you live on? Even if he had led with his shioulder, the deliberate violence of it -- plus the fact that it was a qb and the fact that he was entirely defenseless -- made it unconscionable. Maybe i'm alone here, but this sort of play is what i hate about the sport.

The deliberate violence of it? BS. The QB was scrambling out of the pocket. The player did what he had to do to prevent Moore from throwing past him.WrauLWa.png
