YoloinOhio Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 I saw them all tweeting about it last night.... now they are saying today on the radio he should have been tossed out of the game and fined for hit on Hoyer. No mention, however, of the hit on EJ or anything to do with the Bills. And they said "Kiko Alonso, or whatever the hell his name is." Ummm... better start learning his name. Or maybe just call him sir. And I know, "scoreboard." Just speaking about the hit and Kiko's performance overall. Not the score. We all know the factors that led to that, and it sure as hell had nothing to do with Kiko or our front 7.
billsrcursed Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Meh, they just lost their "hero". Let them reach...
The Poojer Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 i thought kiko's hit could have been called helmet to helmet...i had zero issue with the hit on ej.
Kellyto83TD Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 !@#$ them. It was a legit hit, their hero was an RB at that point and wasnt' even close to sliding properly.
YoloinOhio Posted October 4, 2013 Author Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) i thought kiko's hit could have been called helmet to helmet...i had zero issue with the hit on ej. They are saying helmet to helmet. BTW I don't know about the hit on EJ but Gipson did go low and right at his knee. But they aren't even mentioning that EJ got hit and was out! As if that didn't have an impact on the game? Nope, all Browns. They are also having lots of fun with Tuel. Seriously, I hope the Browns lose the rest of their games except for Pats and Jets.

The Poojer Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 yeah i should qualify, that was in no way a QB slide that affords him protection, still thought it was a helmet to helmet hit... !@#$ them. It was a legit hit, their hero was an RB at that point and wasnt' even close to sliding properly.
34-78-83 Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 It became helmet to helmet only because Hoyer ducked into it. End of drama.
Kelly the Dog Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 yeah i should qualify, that was in no way a QB slide that affords him protection, still thought it was a helmet to helmet hit... I'd have to watch it again but I thought it was pretty clear that Kiko hit Hoyer in the shoulder first. I believe, but could be wrong, that helmet to helmet has to be going for the head and it being first contact. Plowing through a shoulder and then hitting helmet because the guy was falling would not be and should not be a penalty. The NFL will still fine him though, because they fine everyone, even when the league is wrong.
YoloinOhio Posted October 4, 2013 Author Posted October 4, 2013 It became helmet to helmet only because Hoyer ducked into it. End of drama. Kiko will fine the NFL for using pink flags before the NFL will fine him for that.
BarleyNY Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 yeah i should qualify, that was in no way a QB slide that affords him protection, still thought it was a helmet to helmet hit... Agree on the Hoyer helmet to helmet hit. Kiko lead with the crown. That was the only thing illegal about that hit, though. Hoyer slid late which opened him up for a hit. That is on him. EJ should have gotten out of bounds. The hit was legal. Not getting out of bounds was on him.
Realist Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 The Kiko hit will probably be fined, but looking at all the instances this season, I don't think they eject anybody.
Braedenstearns Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) Haha! At most he is going to get fined. Edited October 4, 2013 by Braedenstearns
Wayne Cubed Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Are they retarded, it was Hoyer's inability to slide correctly that tore his ACL not the supposed helmet to helmet hit, which I think was shoulder to helmet. Unless Hoyer is so magical that his ACL runs up through his neck.
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 I might agree if it was a proper feet first slide which it wasn't Should we say the same about the guy who took out EJ's knee?
RealityCheck Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 I will admit to my bias. Kiko's hit on Hoyer was awesome and effective. The low hit on EJ's knee was a punk cheap shot. If anyone is going to do the crippling, I want it to be the Bills. S***w Cleveland, the playoff rematch will settle this one.
The Wiz Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 I might agree if it was a proper feet first slide which it wasn't Should we say the same about the guy who took out EJ's knee? My only input on that is Kiko was tackling the body, "guy" went low from the start. He could have easily pushed him OOB but went for a low tackle on the sideline.
No Cease Fires Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Kiko didn't lead with his helmet. It was a shoulder hit followed by side-to-side helmet contact.
Kirby Jackson Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 I thought that the Aaron Williams hit was much more violent.
judman Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Kiko's arms were spread out like he was trying to let up. Could have been called; then we would be the ones chirping. It surely did not look intentional. But I'm on this board so...
