Steve O Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Admittedly I didn't listen to any talk shows today or any of the press conferences yesterday but I've been searching the web and haven't seen a thing on this. The hit was late, should have been flagged and fined. Would have been an ejection if it had been on Tom Terrific. Anyways would appreciate knowing if anyone has heard anything on this.

Maddog69 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 It was a sack. And a rough tackle. It was not dirty. It was not late. Stop putting dresses on the Qbs. They are protected enough. It's not the defenders fault that Trent could get a concussion putting on his hair gel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Why? are they trying to get into trouble for having players fake injuries to justify removing them from games? If they wanted it to be believable, they should have atleast said that he had a leg/lower body injury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkady Renko Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Edwards was down. It was objectively late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddog69 Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Edwards was down. It was objectively late. You play through to the whistle. How the hell is a defensive player supposed to know exactly when the QBs knee hits the ground and them stop his tackle or hit completely ? That is just plain silly. Every time Edwards gets hurt doesn't mean it was a cheap shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holy crap, even the announcers were shaking their heads that it wasn't called a penalty. For Trent to suffer a concussion without having his head hit the GROUND, you have to look back at the film and watch what that crazy mother!@#$er did to his head there. !@#$ing unreal. He was trying to decapitate him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time Edwards gets hurt doesn't mean it was a cheap shot. Dude, Trent has gotten some cheesy roughing the passer calls this year... THIS was the one where it should have been called! How can anyone look at that hit objectively and say that it wasn't a RTP penalty is beyond me. Bending the QB backwards, while twisting his head sideways, and slamming him to the turf with your entire bodyweight? I could have sworn that his head pummeled the turf, too...but, I haven't seen too many replays so I'll defer to you on that one Chimpo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then number 97 (Calvin Pace) does a knee-bend and celebrates after it! It is right on the TBD drive page... Go back and watch it... Totally roughing the passer! I hope these douche Jets lose every game here out... Because that is all they are, douches. Fault DJ for being DJ, but the Jets are the exact opposite and WORSE. I would take DJ anyday over that fat ass trash talking coach Rex Ryan and his band of thugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judman Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Here is the brady "RTP" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnmGSMccDuU...feature=related The commentator says it looked like he might have stumbled.

It was a gang tackle and they wrestled him to the ground. Sucks for him that he got a concussion. But, last time I checked, football was still a contact sport.

Sucks for him that he got a concussion. But, last time I checked, football was still a contact sport. Fooled you too I guess, as it did the refs. This was not a gang tackle to prevent further forward progress. But it was dressed up to look like that. The action causing injury began when TE was already bent backwards at the knees. He wasn't going anywhere. Maybe the refs had not blown the whistle but most roughing the passer and/or unnecessary roughness penalties occur before the play is whistled dead. Trent was deliberately mugged because opposing players know he is susceptible to injury. In the normal course putting a starting quarterback out of action generally improves your chances of winning. That is why they did it. Kawika Mitchell is probably the only Bills player with the nastiness to get even for something like that - witness his chin strap hit (technically not "helmet to helmet") on Kurt Warner after AW clocked Trent in the Arizona game last year.

Skunkpost Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Penalty or no penalty, everyone has been pining for Edwards to take a seat. Pace did us a favor. I don't like seeing anyone get hurt, but at least now we will have the opportunity to introduce a few variables into the equation and determine where most of the blame should lie.....

Every time Edwards gets hurt doesn't mean it was a cheap shot. 1. They bent him over a player and pounded his head into the ground. 2. If you're going to give Brady a RTP every time somebody sneezes then you have to at least throw a flag for that play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kota Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I doubt the Bills need to do anything. When a QB gets a concussion they are going to look it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfreak Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Probably not-they don't wanna spend the money on postage. Seriously though, I would think that if a team loses their starting quarterback with a concussion, they would automatically look at it, what would it take a couple minutes?
