ITT: It’s impossible to judge intent on the football field. He also definitely didn’t intend to injure him. Ironclad case. Open and shut. Can we really judge if that punch was INTENDED to injure? Who can really say?

We’ll never know. Maybe he saw red and lost his mind. What do know is that 99% of defenders let up when a QB slides and don’t forearm shiver their heads into the turf. Conflating this with the bang bang “defender doesn’t have enough time to completely avoid contact” plays is just excusing bad behavior. And you’re wrong. Which is why virtually all NFL players, media, coaches all disagree with you. Despite what the “game was like” with black and white television.

He doesn’t have to have come into the game deciding to kill Lawrence for it to be dirty af. Did the defender come into the game deciding to piledrive McMahon? Maybe, maybe not. Is the burden of proof you have to have planned your dirty hit 3 weeks in advance for it to count?

It’s crazy how almost EVERY TIME a QB slides down, almost EVERY OTHER PLAYER is able to resist giving them a forearm shiver to the head. What the ***** are you talking about

Hey now, 2000 years ago Jeffrey Dahmer may have been made king of the Aztecs. He wasn’t all bad!

How many years ago was it legal to beat your wife? Is this seriously the garbage we are trying to argue right now?

Rumor going round is that DJ refused to go into the game. idiot. If Harbaugh AND Tomlin give up on you, your career is ova.

I find it extremely comical there’s some effort on TBD to defend that play. If someone did that to Josh and concussed him, Bills fans would send death threats.

Super dirty. Deserves to be made into a villain. Arguably the dirtiest hit in the NFL in the last 5 years based on degree of impact, how long the defender had to stop and the injury sustained. It was a dirty play. Full stop. Zero excuse. Don’t do ***** like that then cry that no one supports you.

The context of island games is that you should assume the announcers last saw that team the last time they played on said island game. It all makes sense from that context.

I’m not sure it’s arguable tbh.

credit where credit is due, Mack’s TD catch last night was an absolutely great play by him.

Folks thought Purdy wasn't Tua West lmao.

400 year old tub of goo

Ball game

Can’t take em with you.

That is the best play he has ever made in his career. Wow.

This is the best CMC has looked all year. He was a shell of himself the last 2 weeks.

At least this proves once and for all the laptop story by the NYP was a total hoax

What is Shakir for comparison? I tried to find the numbers.

Here was my comment about Ladd pre-draft, and I stand by it:

so offended about an opinion on your favorite player! Sorry for sharing.

Meh, we just nit pick them harder because of their greatness. Baker and his ilk have their fair share of easy whiffs. You just don't notice them as much.

Ladd's ceiling isn't high enough. I felt that way then and I feel that way now. He's on pace for 79 catches and 1049 yards. That's a really good season for a rookie. IMO, it will likely be one of the best seasons of his career.

Why did Harbaugh do that???
