26CornerBlitz Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 There was a commenter on Profootballtalk complaining the Bills were going low on Gronk too. Yeah sure! Tackle Gronk high and get run over! Great idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 There was a commenter on Profootballtalk complaining the Bills were going low on Gronk too. everyone tackles him that way. That was how TJ ward hurt him last year. It's the size mismatch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filthymcnasty08 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Doesn't ever seem to matter with that f-kng team - 12-4 - Division crown and a bye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 This is not a commentary on Ridleys injury, but that was a vicious tackle by Gilmore, I think, on that play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 Doesn't ever seem to matter with that f-kng team - 12-4 - Division crown and a bye. does seem that way, but they do have a loss in the division and looked pretty average to bad the first 4 weeks. We may not be able to beat them but other teams can. They have a pretty rough schedule patch coming up. You never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed83HOF Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) Albert Breer @AlbertBreer 2h2 hours ago As for Jerod Mayo, difficult blow for the Patriots. He's the heart-and-soul, and now his future in New England has to be in question. Albert Breer @AlbertBreer 2h2 hours ago In '15, Jerod Mayo will be at same point in a big contract as Mankins, Moss, Seymour when they were jettisoned. His '15 cap number: $10.6M. Albert Breer @AlbertBreer 2h2 hours ago Patriots RB Stevan Ridley tore his ACL as an LSU soph during 2009 spring practice. Was back for fall camp. This tear is in the same knee.

Clippers of Nfl Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 glad to see them gone.. but not like that You're glad to see them gone.... But not like that? How else would they get injured in a full contact sport? Orton breathing his hot ass breath on them??? I dont think so. Not all players go down by themselves after a sack dance!!!!! Where the nfl is heading, the hardest hit will be a slap on the butt or a hard hi-five. Super lame! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big C Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Hate to see players hurt so badly, but even though it didn't help us on Sunday as others pointed out, it may help us long term. I don't want us playing dirty and purposely hurting guys, but we are clearly playing physical and I like that, as long as we are disciplined.

If I recall, it was relatively late in the game. These injuries could very well affect them in the coming weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 we are . Calvin Johnson for example . I was chastised for opening a post with how hard the defenese was playing . I am proud of them . they all hitting harder and in full pursuit. I have seen no dirty plays excepting Spikes ( every team needs one it seems ) see Run defense stats ). Yep. they are that good. bitches. Pretty sure we've 'removed' star opposition in every game. Marshall & Jeffries in Chicago. Brandon returned, but was hobbled. Moreno from Miami, SD's RB (name slips me), Megatron and now Pats* If ANYTHING is different this season, it's usually US who lose half our starters by this point in the season.

ko12010 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Yeah sure! Tackle Gronk high and get run over! Great idea. That's the thing. How else are you supposed to take a guy like that down? Also, emphasis on head shots has made guys go low more often. This was brought up last year or the year before when the Texans guy tore up the Dolphins' TE's knee in the opener. How else is a 5'10" 195 lb guy supposed to take down a 6'5" 260lb guy esp when head shots are a huge point of emphasis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
