TFBillsfan Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 No beef with the penalty. Smith should learn to slide his helmet to the side and it would’ve been 100% legit. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maynard Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 (edited) Even McDermott was pissed about that one. I saw them looking at Fields helmet as well. Don’t think he had it strapped down properly and that’s why it went flying off. Edited August 21, 2021 by Maynard 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be livid if someone hit Allen like that. tennis? golf? maybe a good game of chess with a cold glass of ice tea and a touch of lemon. a few things that have no contact. look into them i think if the rook knew how to put on his chin strap correctly the optics of it flying off would have made it a ordinary blindside sack. its not suppose to feel good but there was nothing malicious there.

But, on one hand you have Fields squatting down like he's about to throw when Smith hits him. On the other hand you have Allen already being tackled when Jones launches into his upper body. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Stampede Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 (edited) Bears fans have to have hated how Fields teammates reacted, or should I say lack of reaction. #53 casual trots off to retrieve Fields helmet that flies 10 yards backwards. If that was Josh Allen there would be 10 flags on the field because a brawl broke out. Edited August 21, 2021 by Buffalo_Stampede Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GymShorts84 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Perfect technique, head up, did not not use crown of helmet as a weapon but unfortunately they are the same height and Field turned into it. He was completely unblocked, so difficult to adjust at full speed. I’m all for protecting QBs, they game is tough to watch with most back-ups, but there was no malicious intent with that hit. Definitely a penalty in today’s NFL but I also dislike QBs dancing around with no repercussions. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with helmets - whine, whine, whine. Quote NFL Players Association officials initially did not react positively to the league’s approval of the new rule about knee and thigh pads, saying there were more pressing player-safety matters that were not being discussed seriously by the league and union. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacklabel Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Sucks it didn't count but what a hit. Not a dirty hit, either. Smith would've collided with bus shoulder first had Fields not started to duck as soon as Smith hit him. His coaches aren't even gonna reprimand him for that one. It really does suck that it's always on the defender to figure out a way to rearrange his actions as he's going full speed and is somehow responsible for making sure opponents get hit "safely." There should be some subjectivity with these kinds of hits. If it's egregious, yeah it's a penalty. But if it's the ol' "bang bang" play as they call it where it's no fault of the defender then it should count. Also, nice to see Chicago fans are excited about Fields. It's just weird when I see a crowd and a teams sideline going ape$#!+ when a routine play is made. Bills keep calm and collected even when they're laying the smackdown. That Arizona game last year is such a perfect example of how poised this team is. Arizona ran around like they won the GD Super Bowl and then proceeded to lose all but what, one game the rest of the way? And the Bills were just like, aiet, they got us on a last second play, whatever. And then proceeded to win out all the way until the AFCCG. I friggin love it. I thought maybe this team might regress just a smidge this season but based on what I've seen in preseason plus what we've heard of how crazy Josh has been playing in camp makes me feel like I'mma be majorly wrong on dat, and I'm more than happy to be lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
