Oh absolutely, among a handful of other guys.. I don't expect a penalty every time either but on crucial plays where there's a good chance Hughes would have made a difference and didn't because of a hold, ya gotta throw a flag. I know he got raped on the 2nd or 3rd TD throw . Overall i was very very disappointed with the officiating last week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddie's Dead Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 (edited) 53K. What crap. Same ***** who gave Gronk only 1 game for trying to paralyze Tre' White. Same ***** who Gave Jerry a UC for patting his own teammate on the helmet. ***** the NFL and their uneven discipline. I agree with other posters upthread. Jerry will be a target tomorrow, hope he keeps his cool. Edited December 9, 2018 by Freddie's Dead 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, he will not get any holding calls against the offensive lineman blocking him. He’s completely in the right going after the refs, he gets held on most plays, a lot of them are super obvious. Pegula should use some of that money to send a message to the officials. Maybe a horsehead in their bed or something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAinLack. Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Maybe the fans can show their support for Jerry Hughes if the refs get "picky" today against the Jets!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 (edited) I actually think the refs are more likely to go overboard in favor of Hughes today. It wouldn't be a good look for them to appear to be targeting him after this nonsense. And clearly the ref did something wrong or he wouldn't have been placed on leave. If I'm Hughes I go out during warmups today and shake every official's hand, and make it clear I'm not holding grudges.

WhoTom Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 $53k is a token slap on the wrist. They can't let players confront officials like that, but they also know he was right. Jerry got a trivial fine and the official got suspended - it's obvious where the league stands on this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RochesterLifer Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I actually feel there is no defense of Hughes for his behavior after last week's game. I don't care if someone called you a naughty name. Chasing an official, or any humanbeing, screaming and threatening irrationally, is inexcusable. Typical, entitled and arrogant athlete. Jerry is a great, hardworking player. I love what he brings to the Bills. But, he really needs to grow the hell up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjv001 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I feel the fine was excessive. However, my bigger concern is how the refs will treat Hughes going forward. Hopefully, we won't see small minded retaliation by any ref. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 12 hours ago, DC Tom said: Reasonable. They had to do something, given the public video, and that was pretty much the bare minimum. Agreed DC. The NFL can’t tolerate players threatening the refs, but even though this ref probably said what is reported, Hughes had to get a fine. Inter3sting how the ref was fined and suspended. Tells me there is some truth to the story of the ref initiating things. Hughes has to someday before he retires to cool his Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
without a drought Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Don't have a problem with this. I'm surprised it took this long to announce it. Jerry knew it was coming, that's why he denied everything at first. The ref was obviously in the wrong again and was already dealt with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmart128 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Love how that one lead official mentioned that Hughes has a past but failed to neglect that Ellison also had a past. He seems pretty biased and shouldn't be in the position he is in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad Hughes is a Bill This is true but the way to get off their radar is to shut up and let his play be his voice. Until that happens, they will continue to punish him, right or wrong.

And I agree. As for those mentioning Gronk on others, yeah they got off way too light. Doesn't mean Hughes can go and threaten officials, all caught o camera no less. The league let him off easy as the targeted ref is not exactly behaving as he should. We all agree he's getting shafted and it's a shame. I understand refs are humans and him getting "near-calls" not going his way, but he is held so much it goes way beyond normal payback straight into blatant bad officiating. Refs can't be THAT petty and get away with it! They should be held accountable way more. I still recall Hughes getting a 15 yard unsportmanslike penalty for "roughing" up... another Bills player in celebration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
