He gave himself up with a slide. That means he shouldn't be touched. Period.

 

I don't know if that's true. I agree sometimes it's impossible to stop. My problem was that whether or not Flacco slid, dove head first, or never went down, akiko went full speed head first at him. The fact his shoulder hit first was only IMO because of the slide to the side. Otherwise it's helmet to helmet because Kiko led with his helmet. It was a dirty hit.

 

Plus, yes he was trying for the first down and likely knew the yard line to get to. But the players don't see that yellow line. As soon as Flacco knew he would be hit he slid. It was late. If Kiko just ran right through him and not tried to take his head off it may not even have been a penalty.

I think Flacco slid late, but wtf is it with the Dolphins and shots to the head? How do you destroy a guy above the neck there? Alonso should be given a lengthy suspension. Ridiculous that's he's still playing in this game.

Brutal game. 3rd string QB v 2nd.

It was close. I never saw Kiko as dirty. I think he was hell bent on stopping a first down.

These guys are superb athletes.

 

Saying it was too quick is BS. Alonso had enough time to do a flip over Flacco.

 

I think he'll get about 2 games to sit and think about his future.

Kiko went low on a QB who was into his slide. No excuses for him.

I agree it was a dirty hit. I was just disagreeing that every time a QB slides he shouldn't be hit period.

Sure. Moron.

Watch the slow mo replay and you will see for yourself. I've been in that situation many times on both ends of it. If you don't want to get hit dont go for the first. When on defense you don't assume he's going to slide so you finish the play. It is what it is nothing intentional about it

I think you are way off base here. Even in slow motion Kiko had plenty of time to read and react to what was happening. The fact is he did read it, and chose to lower his shoulder into Flacco's head. I do not think i have seen a more egregious example of intent to injure all year. Edited by MDFan
