Sherlock Holmes Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Uh oh...looks like Epenesa got Hussey throwing a hussey fit with some extracurricular elbow action! (Great move by the way) My question is Jerry Hughes only bitched out a referee and forever was targeted, can we expect the same from here on out with young Epenesa? Did he just make his career that much more difficult? Discuss! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 (edited) So in the NBA getting kicked out of a game includes a suspension for next game. What are NFL rules on that?

Buddo Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Possibly. Looked to me that AJ was moving Shaq out of the way, when Hussey pushed him, AJ had his back to Hussey, and stuck his elbow back and caught Hussey, who then lost the plot. No doubt the NFL will side with the zebra, but imho, common sense should prevail, and Epenesa shouldn't be unduly punished, especially as he was trying to keep Shaq away from getting into it. Imho, Hussey was a complete idiot in his actions. You don't go shoving NFL players around who can't see you, and expect no reaction. Good referees don't get involved in that way in the first place, especially when the guy you are shoving, is trying to defuse the situation. 9 10 2 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmart128 Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Cant believe AJ fot ejected for removing his teammate from a fight. It was obviously Epenesa just accidentally making contact with elbow as he was taking Shaq away 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ had no clue who was pushing him. Hussey (Steve Carell) will never be a top ref. And yes I'm sure he'll hold a grudge on AJ from here on out. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddie's Dead Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Just saw the replay, and it's clear that AJ is reacting to being pushed in the back. Hussey doesn't want to get contacted, so he shouldn't be shoving Epenesa. Hopefully AJ is not subject to any further discipline. The ref had no business laying hands on Epenesa from behind. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All true, Epenesa used his elbow but never really made contact, but he hung around and said something and that made Hussy throw his hat for the penalty. I doubt Eppy said "Sorry Ref, didn't see you" which was the only smart thing he could have said at that point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 meat-head Ref had to be pulled back from other refs from going after a player. Ref should be suspended. AJ didn't know he was elbowing a ref when trying to get Lawson out of there. If you are a ref and can't handle inadvertent contact without loosing it, you shouldn't be a ref. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beck Water Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 (edited) 2 hours ago, Simon said: QFT I personally have some faith that the Bills will take the situation up with the league and point out “hey, our guy was trying to defuse the situation and take his buddy away, he had no reason to believe the guy shoving him was a ref, he had no intention to throw an elbow at a ref” with pics. Hopefully they have some cred, and Epenesa will make some amends somehow and not make a habit of this. 2 hours ago, Sherlock Holmes said: Uh oh...looks like Epenesa got Hussey throwing a hussey fit with some extracurricular elbow action!

Did he just make his career that much more difficult? Discuss! I share your concern but I think Hughes had a years-long pattern with multiple refs that earned him ref purgatory, not just that one B word-out moment. Jerry had a pattern to transition into a scary guy Kyle Williams called “Gary” when his fuse got lit Edited October 9, 2022 by Beck Water 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
