RyanC883 Posted October 24, 2016 Posted October 24, 2016 Wow. If he doesn't get suspended for that, Pegs should refuse to play the next Dolphins game. Or something. That was about as dirty a hit as one can make. He targets him, in the head, leaves his feet, and AW is about a mile away from the play.
Mr. WEO Posted October 24, 2016 Posted October 24, 2016 the ejection penalties must occur outside of the actual play. In otjer words. After, before, sideline, not a part of actual football Ok thanks
RyanC883 Posted October 24, 2016 Posted October 24, 2016 yes. You can. But that doesn't mean that the hit that Landry was malicious or had intent to injure. It just means that he hit our player extremely hard and our player got hurt. It's a tough game. People get hurt all the time. AW wasn't playing heads up on the play and he suffered because of it. incorrect. AW was looking at the play and got blindsided by a guy who targeted AW's head. Watch the video. People do get hurt. But like in Hockey, leaving your feet to target the head should = suspension. Also, AW was not near the play, and Landry came at him from the side. AW was watching the backfield, that's why he didn't see Landry. Love Eric Wood's comments. Also note the Bills (and I would assume any team with an understanding of the Rules) teach WR's NOT to do what Landry did. Landry should be out 4+ games. http://buffalonews.com/2016/10/23/eric-wood-calls-jarvis-landrys-hit-aaron-williams-garbage/
Talley56 Posted October 24, 2016 Posted October 24, 2016 He pretty blatantly went for Williams' head. He took a cheap shot at a guy with a history of a neck injury. If the league really wants to act like they care, that crap has to be eliminated. I was sort of disappointed to see such a little retaliation from our team. I agree it was a cheap shot but I'm glad we didn't retaliate. All it would have most likely done is drawn a penalty on us and if that penalty would have costed us the game then Landry comes out looking like the winner.
Santana Posted October 24, 2016 Posted October 24, 2016 Yes he should be suspended. I don't even know why there's an argument against this. This league is so freakin hypocritical on how they handle things and that's why no one respects Rodger Goodell or the process that they enforce. It's a joke. Those are EXACTLY the type of hits that ends careers, then after the game Landry pretty much said it wasn't a dirty play.
CardinalScotts Posted October 24, 2016 Posted October 24, 2016 it's a blow to the head he will be suspended - i like the NFL end a guys career 10 yds...spin the football 15. This league is unreal

All it would have most likely done is drawn a penalty on us and if that penalty would have costed us the game then Landry comes out looking like the winner. Sadly, as others have said, it's unlikely the league will really do anything here. If our team sent a message it would have been a motivating factor because they would be avenging their teammate and brother. I doubt it will happen, but the Bills should make Landry fear going out on the field when they come to Buffalo later in the year.
Peter Posted October 24, 2016 Posted October 24, 2016 (edited) To those guys saying that we should have retaliated: (1) I was at the game. At the time, I did not see what had happened in real time. All I really knew was that Aaron Williams was down and hurt after the play. They did not show a replay at the stadium. I seriously doubt that the players on the field saw what happened. (2) When Aaron was down, the refs moved our players and their players away from each other. (3) If one of our guys on the field actually had seen what had happened and did something, I am sure it would have been our guy who got the flag. Having said all that, I do believe: (1) Whether you think the hit was outside the rules or not, a player does NOT do that to another player if he has any respect for the game or his fellow NFLPA members. (2) Landry should be concerned that the legal hits on him in the re-match just might have a little more impact than they otherwise would. Edited October 24, 2016 by Peter
BillsMafiaWA Posted October 24, 2016 Posted October 24, 2016 the NFL needs to seriously look at this type of play and make it illegagal. They protect the QBs at all cost. WR get smashed over the middle, DBs on plays like this, and OL/DL get chopped or hit high The disturbing part for me as it appeated Jarvis was aiming right for him so it wasnt reactionary, it seemed like a desgined play they had -- coaches also need to held accountable if that is the case. I get it's football bang-bang plays happen but to purposely go after someone high when not looking is cheap -- even if its "legal"
BillsFan2313 Posted October 24, 2016 Posted October 24, 2016 AW was the man he was supposed to block on the play. Of course it was pre-meditated. He practiced it all week. I guess we can flag and fine players for doing film work throughout the week now too. ???????????????
hondo in seattle Posted October 24, 2016 Posted October 24, 2016 That was not a split second thing given the distance Landry traveled to deliver the illegal hit to the face of Aaron. He lined him up and launched his shoulder directly into his facemask. It was a premeditated and dirty hit. You might be right 26CB. But I'm not entirely convinced so - especially given Landry's reaction - I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. I don't think Landry's dirtiness is as nearly well and clearly established as Burfict's, for example. I know if I was A Williams I'd be asking myself "How did I not see that coming?" more than I'd be asking "Why did that m*th*r f*ck*r lay such a cheap hit on me?"
Peter Posted October 24, 2016 Posted October 24, 2016 As an aside, what is it with these receivers from LSU. Landry and Beckham seem like real . . . .
mrags Posted October 24, 2016 Posted October 24, 2016 https://youtu.be/DKaE31VgXjU I bet everyone loves this hit. Don't think Clements was fined or suspended for it either.

Crocodile tears, my friend. https://youtu.be/DKaE31VgXjU I bet everyone loves this hit. Don't think Clements was fined or suspended for it either. It was a garbage hit by Clements. No need for that. The Pats won that game, btw.
mrags Posted October 24, 2016 Posted October 24, 2016 (edited) Was Tom Brady running with the football? You realize they are totally different plays, right? no. It's really not. We're talking about a hit on a player period. The argument among most here is that it was dirty, illegal, unsafe, etc... Regardless of the circumstances of the play, it was a straight up hit directly in from of him. It wasn't from behind or on the side or anything cheap. You can all post whatever you want. Blame Aaron Williams for not seeing a rocket come at him from almost directly in front of him. He needs to keep his head on a swivel and have more awareness of what's going on around him. The Pats won that game, btw.whats the difference who wins the game? Here's a few more for you all that I'm sure you all loved so much. Because it was a Bill doing the hits. And here's Steve talking about how euphoric it is destroying someone on the field. OMG!!!! He's a savage Edited October 24, 2016 by mrags

mrags Posted October 24, 2016 Posted October 24, 2016 Don't assume you know what I love and don't love.yeah. Ok. I won't. But the other 84,000 people in the stands that day sure looked glad after that hit was made. High fives all around. I guess that's just the savagery at The Ralph that everyone is talking about.

Get with it you dolt! That may have been another lifetime ago with all the changes to the game since Tasker played. Bottom line is that it was a dirty hit. He got penalized and will be fined. For the life of me I cant figure out how Landry recovered the onsides kick and one of our cowardly players didnt put their foot on his neck.
