Richard Seymour gets tossed for slap

[SmootSmack]

I don't care for Roethlisberger, but on the field of play trash talking is part of the game. You can either use it to set the tone of a blowout with an 88 yard completion for a TD to start the game...or you can slap the trash talker and get tossed.

Ben claims all he said was lets get ready for the extra point. I'm sure that's what he said I mean this guys credentials are unimpeachable!! He knows he said something to incite that but he can't admit to it because he has to protect his "image" what a D-bag. Too bad he wears a helmet when riding his Motorcycle now

I have zero problems with Seymour getting booted. He was scuffling with someone earlier in the game too, so you have to guess he already had his warning. Plus you just can't go to the head on a guy, especially a QB.

I agree with this. The only thing I can add is the first time I saw it, I laughed, and had very little sympathy for Big Ben.

BR is a douche, yeah I don't really care about him getting slapped either.

Do QBs really deserve the special consideration that they are getting right now? I totally agree with making sure they don't go helmet to helmet on them or hit em low, but in the Eagles Colts game either Cole or Parker grazed Mannings head with his hand and a 15 yard penalty was called, then yesterday someone was called for landing on the QB with all of his weight? What is that? Your telling a defensive player they have to tackle the QB then roll in midair and let them land on you?

I agree with these new rules on hitting to try to extend players careers and their health after their careers are over but sometimes with QBs they want other players to basically play touch football. Its also why I am against an 18 game schedule.

[MTK]

QBs have always gotten special treatment, nothing new.

[Jontrem]

Yeah guess that's true. I tend to like defense more than offense so I guess I am biased.

Here's some footage of the slap...

We are talking about Ben.

Hahaha I remember how long and hard I laughed at that when I saw it for the first time...still damn funny.

seymour should get fined and ejected from the game for throwing an open handed punch.

They can land on the QB its driving them into the ground that they flag.
