Griffin whining about Rams playing dirty (1 Viewer)

Griffin is going to take more hard hits than a pocket QB, that is just the way it is when you are a running threat. Pretty sure he was not used to getting beat up in college.

I listened to the entire press conference.

Griffin was responding to literally dozens of questions about the hits he took in the Rams game. He was not "whining" at all but giving honest answers to the questions he was asked and made sure to give his due to the Rams and even stated he had only been a professional for a few weeks when talking about something of the things they were doing.

Listening to it, I knew some media outlets would pick up a few quotes and create a story but he was not whining at all.

:lmao: Crying? Hardly.

When a team compares negatively TO THE SAINTS for dirty play? That's saying something. It has nothing to do with his opinion of being hit. He - and many others - are ripping the replacement refs for the extracurricular stuff that's going on...and rightfully so.PSA: I don't own RGIII in any leagues and am not a huge fan of his - but the article is pretty clear - and your summary of it was WAY off, imho.

He compared the game vs the Saints to the one vs the Rams. He noticed a difference. He also said it's only his 2nd game.

Haters gonna hate though.

I think Griffin is talking about the late hits that the refs let fly in the game. The refs had no control after the whistle would blow.

And Vick cried too; maybe even more than Bob Griff.
There's no reason for me to go into a big dissertation about why I'm not getting the calls. The refs have to do their jobs as well. I even mentioned it in training camp to the refs when we had our little meeting.Michael VickI just think more precaution should be taken when I'm inside the pocket. Look at all the replays - I'm on the ground every time. It's unfortunate for myself, it's unfortunate for my team and I'd be lying if I sat here and said I wasn't frustrated right now.Michael VickIt's an unfortunate situation. After such a great play I felt like I got hit late, no flag, broke my hand. That's it. That's pretty much been the story for the past three weeks, and obviously at some point something catastrophic was going to happen, and I broke my hand.Michael Vick

As a 'Skins fan I wanna vomit every time I see Griff take off as the concussion is only a matter of time.
 
Way to make something out of nothing, he didnt whine or cry at all.

Don't you have something better to do than manufacture drama on a message board?

I've actually notices a lot these first two weeks that refs are not calling penalties when a QB slides and still gets hit (even in the head).

Preach it! Looking for every opportunity to alienate the guy. He handles the media just as well as Tebow does, minus all of the "Lord and Savior Jesus Christ" talk.

Hi Junior, you may be too young to remember the football of old..... but hitting hard is allowed and what is done in the NFC West.Pro Tip: Watch NFL Films and educate.

:goodposting: This.If you watched the whole game, it was crystal clear. The Rams were at it after almost every play. Not necessarily late hits, but just the jawing and bumping guys. A guy would run out of bounds, and on his way back, he'd bump into a Skin for no reason. London Fletcher got hit while he was on his back rolling over...guy just literally speared him in the back of the legs away from the play. When the Skins were trying to come back, there was a play leading up to the 2 minute warning where the Rams DL literally had a Skins lineman by his pants and wouldn't let him get up for a solid 10 seconds after the play was over.I'm not exonerating Morgan for his bone-headed move, but Finnegan did push his facemask down when he was getting up. It was little crap like that. Small enough to not draw too much attention from the replacement refs, but annoying enough to get under the...Skins skin (lol?). Ultimately, if it was a tactic, it worked...but it's a dirty one. It's also a tactic that I think was aided by the horrible replacement officiating and the refs complete lack of control in that game.

Before you tell someone else to get educated, maybe you should have watched the game this is all about. It is the worst Ref'd game I have ever seen in the pros as the ref allowed countless after the whistle stuff to occur. That is what this is all about, it's not about playing football and hard hits...its the crap after the play, like forearms into the head of a player while he's on the ground 20 or more seconds AFTER the whistle.Pro Tip (for you): Watch the game that's being talked about if you are going to comment and get educated.

Second Pro Tip: If you watched the game, get a new prescription for your glasses and get new hearing aids because the current version you are using suck!

You hit the nail on the head here, I thought the calls and no calls were just awful going both ways. There were penalties called on the Rams that I thought were not penalties at all and same for 'Skins. Just terrible officiating all around. On he control, there was so much stuff after the play going on that I thought a serious fight was going to occur...first game didn't have this issue of control, but this group ('Skins vs Rams game) of officials showed distinct difference of from the regular officials. I've seen HS football like that, but never the pros.

Ha. I forgot more than you'll ever know about football. Old time or new. RGIII wasn't saying that the Rams hit hard or tackled well. He was talking about bottom of the pile, after the whistle crap. There's a difference between gritty, tough, old style football and dirty, trying to hurt someone football.

Educate yourself.

Well...

Fisher hired Gregg Williams, both in TEN and in StL. (And Fisher played for Buddy Ryan, Williams' mentor, and Ryan ran actual bounties).

Fisher coaches great teams that are aggressive, hard hitting, winning (by and large).

Somehow someone somewhere decided this was subject to criticism and even penalty. Can you blame Griffin, the Rams did what exactly? Targeted him for hard hits? Well of course they did.

As is said elsewhere, this is football in the NFL, or at least the variety which wins... which the Rams did.

Nothing dirty about it.

It likely doesnt help that the positive reinforcement they receive is in the form of a check and entirely underwhelming in comparison to the amount of #### they get from literally everyone.In my opinion they arent that far off from the normal refs, but the difference is definitely noticeable.

It appears that you must have not watched this game because hard hits during plays was not the issue, it's the stuff after the whistle...which is NOT football in the NFL. This game was GREAT example of Ref's not taking control of a game, which is rare if ever in the NFL if not for replacement refs.

This was my opinion to a degree after the first game, now since the 'Skins vs Rams game...definitely noticeable is an understatement as not only in failure to take control of the game there were HORRIBLE calls for both sides that normally would not happen.

They were present in all games, but they have also made calls rightly so that were so ticky tacky that the regular refs would have just not called it at all. Which is in my opinion the most refreshing thing so far this year, its enraging when they miss calls or make bad ones, but when they make the ticky tacky ones and they are absolutely right they get no praise whatsoever.

:lmao: So easy to spot the 'posting from their mommy's basement' tools. You're spot on about the d-bag part.

 
Fisher's Titans teams played in the same fashion. It was pretty much to be expected the Rams will be like this under him.
