OGTEleven Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 This is not some claim that the Bills would have won yesterday if....... or anything like that. It isn't really about the Bills at all. I watched with disgust yesterday as three separate times (I'm sure I missed a few) Rodney Harrison appeared to me to try to hurt people. There was one head shot (I thin Bledsoe but I'm unsure at this point and I don't remember as well as the other two which were): 1. Neufeld over the middle. Bledsoe badly overthrows him while he is open (no big surprise). Harrison started on a path to hit him low and try to break up the pass. He clearly saw the pass go (way) long. Does he pull up ? No (he shouldn't have). Does he continue aling the same path? No. (He should have). What does he do? He decides to take the opportunity to go head hunting. He probably missed seriously injuring Neufeld by a couple of inches. I happened to be watching him on that play and his intent was very clear. 2. Garbage time. Moulds catches a 7 or 8 yard pass in the middle of the field and ends up laying on his stomach. One Pats players starts to touch him down. Another comes flying full speed helmet first into Moulds' wide open back. Anyone catch a number? 37. On the botched punt I thought Moorman took a late and cheap hit. I didn't see who it was but I wouldn't be surprised (although I would be a bit surprised if Harrison was in on ST). This was not as bad as the others. It is very clear that nobody on the Bills offense has the guts to stand up to Harrison. They play gutless during the play, why not after? Shouldn't the league do something about this loser. If not, shouldn't some offensive player (on a team that shows some guts) do something to stop him or at least let him know turnabout is on the way?

ACor58 Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 I agree with you that Rodney Harrison is a dirty player. Yesteday, I noticed a couple of late hits / cheap shots that they didn't show on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDH Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 That hit on Neufeld should have been a penalty according to NFL rules you can't hit a defenseless player...the rule was put in for the EXACT reason you saw yesterday, WRs going for a high ball and who have no means of protecting themselves from a headhunting safety. I'm not a big fan of the rule, but I understand why its there...and if the refs are going to call a fair game they have to make that call...why else is it in the rulebook? It should have been a 15 yard personal foul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll get another apology from the league today.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thurman's Helmet Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 The NFL is a hard hitting violent game. If you dont like it you should follow the NBA or something where contact is frowned upon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you dont like it you should follow the NBA or something where contact is frowned upon. 55447[/snapback] Don't be a mass hole. If someone on the Bills did that crap to a Pat, I wouldn't like nor would most of the people here. It is a hard hitting game. There is no reson to try to hurt people. If it happens it happens, but intent is another thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 The NFL is a hard hitting violent game. If you dont like it you should follow the NBA or something where contact is frowned upon. 55447[/snapback] Sure is. And someone on the Bills should have had the sack to make some contact at Harrison's knees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuckincincy Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 Sure is. And someone on the Bills should have had the sack to make some contact at Harrison's knees. 55459[/snapback] Yep. Another thread talked about DB getting slammed by a Pat's LB. There are times when suffering an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty is necessary. I have fond memories of when then-Dallas Safety George Teague flattened TO when he did his little dance in the middle of Texas Stadium... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will always feel that everything he sees is right and everything we see is wrong. It's his nature. He's a Pat's fan. On a Bills board. All the time. You're right...if it were reversed, he'd be pissed. That's what Pats fans do. Show up, blabber, and then run away until it's there time to blabber again.

Basically, every time a player gets fine, the money goes to charity. He has been fined $350,000 in his career, easily an NFL record. But they interviewed other players for the bit, and it was too funny: "Rodney almost blew out both of my knees on a cheap shot, but if that means a bigger classroom can be built in some school, I'll happily take that chance".. They all played along, and it was funny. Man, what ever happened to this being a violent sport? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lori Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 I believe the guy that took the cheapshot at Moorman after he was down was #48, Banta-Cain. (Yep, he got nailed for a different 15-yarder, but not for that one.) Looks like Harrison is teaching him well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell that to Tommy Boy Brady, who needs the refs to throw flags even when he gets hit cleanly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
