Id wouldnt mind seeing that if BM is out

ugh, I'm still not convinced Rambo has matured into an NFL caliber player. i hope i'm wrong.

Hopefully he appeals and gets it reduced like last time.

Well, it is his 7th time? Not surprising the league is gone to suspensions again. The hit on Pierce was definitely the worse of the two in my book. The other one wasn't as bad to me. He led with the shoulder and did what a S should do. Maybe Flacco shouldn't get his WRs killed by throwing shitty passes to guys covered.


edit: Looking at it again, he did go high even though he led with the shoulder.

I dont think he went high i mean he tried to aim at the numbers. How low can he go?

Didn't say it was intentional, that the hit landed high. Hence we are, where we are today.

Seemed like a clean hit to me,

Swearinger Welker hit:

IMO it's the same exact hit. Welker does the same thing as T Smith and gets smaller as he is about to be hit. Swearinger then lowers his should and leaves his feet hiring Welker in the head. And there is clearly no attempt to wrap up by Swearinger.

How Meriweather gets 2 games and Swearinger doesn't even get a fine is absurd.

I think this also goes back to a point made by NC Skins, and something that I've said and heard before. It's time that these QB's take some responsibility. They can see where the safety is playing and it's their job to lead their WR away from the hit. The pass from Manning to Welker and from Flacco to Smith, were both terrible passes in the middle that left their WR's exposed and open to get laid out.

Does Swearinger have a track record like BW? I mean it isnt a complete mystery why BW got suspended.
Edit: i dont think BW did anything wrong this time around, but as far as his penalty - it has everything to do with his priors.

i find it surprising the number of people defending meriweather. he has a history of doing this, he's been suspended before, it's the number one reason he's considered (entering this season) a liability for this team.

he's a dirty player and a marked man. no other player in the league has such a huge issue with tackling correctly like meriweather does.

i don't know why we continue to bring him back. he's perpetually one hit away from a suspension and he's proven he's too stupid to understand that and play the game the way he's been asked to play it.

a) because it wasnt an illegal hit, he lead with his shoulder

b) because the penalty is baised

c) how the fuck is ray rice only suspended 2 games

I be more upset if BM played OL considering we have to play JAX and HOU the next 2 games. Losing BM for those two games really not a big hit.

This. Thank God. Would be so much worse if he played OL. Or imagine the first two games were Denver and the Saints?!?

If this was last year he would he left his feet about 2 steps earlier and lead with his forearms. He left his feet right at contact put his head down to go into the body of the WR. His target was the rib area, but the WR ducked down and and he made contact shoulder to shoulder, and his helmet hit the WR helmet, but not intentionally.

He obviously has a target on his back and rightfully so. This suspension is BS and will hopefully get reduced to 1 game.

a) the league says otherwise, and they're th eones that make and enforce the rules.

b) of course it is. this is what happens when you have a track record of being a dirty player, you get scrutinized more and judged more. some people would call it unfair but that's life - you get to earn your own reputation, it's his fault.

c) while i agree the rice suspension is ridiculous, that has nothing to do with meriweather forcing the league to hand down a punishment for the same problem for the 6th time, and it has nothing to do with our organizations inability to prevent itself from being harmed by it. we KNOW this is the type of player he is. EVERYONE does.

yet here we are.

at some point the league is going to tell meriweather he can't play any longer because the risk he poses in injuring other players is simply not fair to the rest of the league. and in my opinion, they'd be right.

if meriweather played for the ravens and he hit jackson/reed/garcon like that and injured them, given his track record, how would you react?

assuming you'd react like i believe most people would react (the way every other fan in the league reacts when they see a meriweather hit worthy of punishment), why do you react differently just because he's wearing your team's jersey?
