YoloinOhio Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 @jasonrmcintyre: So dirty. Suspension? RT @thebiglead: Dominic Raiola Dove at the Knees of a Patriots Player http://t.co/HD3sWo8AwL http://t.co/3ucZVebR7H @jeffphowe: Raiola told @davebirkett he dove at Zach Moore's knees in retaliation for Blount's 2nd TD when he felt the Pats should've taken a knee.

Beerball Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Based on circumstances I can't say I blame him. If the pats truly could have taken a knee to run out the clock then they got what was coming to them IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the pats truly could have taken a knee to run out the clock then they got what was coming to them IMO. That may be scummy by the Cheats*, but if true, that's even scummier conduct by Raiola. No excuse for possibly ending the career of a competitor because of a decision his coach makes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattM Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 What other way would you suggest that a player take? How about call a pass play near the Pats* sideline and have your receiver target Belicheat out of bounds? That way at least you're targeting the right guy. Never happen (nor would I actually endorse it), but in theory at least there'd be some measure of justice as you're defining it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Suspension? Why? It's legal to go for the knees, unless it's a QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
....lybob Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I don't know Zach Martin but would applaud anyone who took a cheap shot at Vince Wilfork because that guy was as dirty as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterpan Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 How is that center supposed to know the DL wont shoot out hard and try to cause a fumble? With the Cheats* its defiantly possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerball Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Why should they do anything in that spot? Because that isn't the first time that he's pulled that kind of crap. Until something happens he'll keep it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a player doesn't cheap shot his guys they may continue scoring too many points? I didn't see the play but is that the argument you are making?

NoSaint Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) I think it's more of a, "they wanna keep going 100% when the game is over, so will we," situation. Ah- going at the knees sounded different than simply playing hard but instead being dirty as payback. Very different things in my book.

Augie Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I don't know Zach Martin but would applaud anyone who took a cheap shot at Vince Wilfork because that guy was as dirty as hell. That really stinks and it shouldn't happen to anyone.... but if you HAD TO pick one guy, why not the guy who made the helmet visor such a good idea?

I didn't see the play but is that the argument you are making? Yes, that's exactly what I said. Jesus. If the game truly (I didn't see it) could have ended with kneel downs but they went for another score instead then YES, their players deserve whatever treatment they are given. Riola's only fault was admitting what he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireChan Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Ah- going at the knees sounded different than simply playing hard but instead being dirty as payback. Very different things in my book. That's a legal technique for blocking. It only was cheap because the Pats players stopped playing hard because the game was over. Very similar to running up the score when the Lions stopped playing hard because the game was over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
