You know.

 

[Novice2]

When does the DUI'er get to play?

 

[Memphis Foundry]

Edwards is out until the end of the first quarter.

 

[Ignoramus]

Edwards trimmed that sweet, sweet beard down considerably.

Move him down in your rankings, folks.

I am not soft on those who drink and drive but hurting your whole team like this is stupid. Fine him or use a punishment that hurts just him.

I'm guessing the NFLPA would have something to say about a team fining a player for getting a ticket.

Yeah, it seems like a half-measure to suspend him for only the first quarter. Collinsworth and Michaels hinted that the one quarter suspension was a sort of compromise between Woody Johnson (who apparently wanted to sit Edwards) and Rex Ryan (who didn't want Edwards to miss any game time).

He needed to. He was starting to look radical muslimish....

You think DUI is a "ticket"?That being said, I think you understand my point and are just being pedantic.

 

[BoerumHill]

Nice game thread so far.

 

[Native]

The Jason Taylor sack on Henne was pretty cool.

 

[j3r3m3y]

It is looking like it might be a long night for my Fins.

We need a spark on either side of the ball.

 

[Desert_Power]

Stupid penalty.

 

[RUSF18]

Am I the only one who didn't see a "hit" on the "hit to the head of a defenseless receiver" penalty?

 

[Trey]

I think they should have called that personal foul on Cotch... he actually hit Clemons harder since Clemons was pulling up.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

What a joke of a penalty.

 

[broncofan13000]

Keller is a STUD

 

[j3r3m3y]

Am I the only one who didn't see a "hit" on the "hit to the head of a defenseless receiver" penalty?

Probably, it was pretty clear to me.

 

[TLEF316]

Jets got the same exact thing called on them last week (Eric Smith on Wes Welker).

Its the correct call.

 

[Novice2]

What a joke of a penalty.

But it is the rule.

 

[RUSF18]

That was a forearm to the head. It would also qualify under the "launch" test that seems to take place.It looked like Clemons was pulling up but still ran into him. And hit him in the chest. Whatever, no dog in this fight.

 

[Masked Vigilante]

Sanchez looking like a stud

 

[Rovers]

Marshall appearance

 

[Desert_Power]

What a joke of a penalty.

But it is the rule.

It is illegal to have someone run into your shoulder pad head first while you're pulling up?

 

[j3r3m3y]

RICKY!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[j3r3m3y]

Bess just wanted to prove that he could actually catch that.

That being said, I think you understand my point and are just being pedantic.

No, I'm pretty sure he's not been convicted of anything yet and that a fine before a player has received his due process would draw some ire from the NFLPA. That being said, I think I do understand your point and while a fan might piss and moan about losing some fantasy points or hurting the team, there are not a ton of ways to punish an individual player outside of benching him.

 

[Trey]

The Dolphins' OC (Henning) calls such an atrocious game.

Was passing working too well? You need to bring in the wildcat and throw the team out of rhythm? Awful.

 

[j3r3m3y]

In that case why are they in a position to punish him at all?

And to be clear, I am a Miami fan and dont have him on my team, I just think it is a stupid move.

That is indeed what happened and indeed that is illegal. Safety first

If you believe that that should be a penalty then you are everything that is wrong with the NFL right now. If anything, the defender was the one who got "hit".

 

[CB31]

Kyle Wilson is the epitome of the "rookie corner" rule. He's really gotten picked on.

 

[Native]

That was a horrible PI call.

Pretty soon they are just going to playing flag football out there. Terrible.

 

[Carter_Can_Fly]

I think that was a really bad PI call as well after seeing it in slow motion

 

[cyberrat]

Is this going to be another Sunday Night game with more penalties than good football? Good grief.

I think this is kinda like the Calvin Johnson (non) TD. By the letter of the rule, the refs were right; but by the spirit and intention of the rule, it was a bad call. Tough situation for a zebra to be in, but they gotta call what the rulebook tells them to.

The team is in a position to start whomever they like at any position they like.

 

[ang12]

Leon would have taken that to the house.

 

[PolishNorbi]

Anyone else catch the Futbol Americano right before commercial?

 

[VaTerp]

Why did the Jets try to get cute there. Just run the ball, play-action, and hit Keller. MIA cannot cover him.

 

[Trey]

Mike Nolan needs to spend the entirety of halftime coming up with a scheme to cover Dustin Keller. He is the entirety of the Jets offense right now.

 

[nzranger]

That should count as a blocked FG for jets DST right?

 

[Max Power]

Anyone else catch the Futbol Americano right before commercial?

The team names are in spanish on mine...

 

[RushHour]

Jets making too many mistakes, silly penalties.....that 'drive' after the the long kick return was just awful. All the momentum with the Phins.

 

[Novice2]

Spanish night @ NBC. Is next month when they paint everything green?

 

[BoerumHill]

No fumble

 

[Ghost Rider]

Okay, this is gonna be overturned, but how many times is Ricky Williams gonna put the ball on the ground before he pays a price?

 

[Native]

Davone Bess is money tonight.

 

[Raider Nation]

Running the wildcat on 2nd & 15 is a joke. Totally giving up a down.
