Sherlock Holmes Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Uh oh...looks like Epenesa got Hussey throwing a hussey fit with some extracurricular elbow action! (Great move by the way) My question is Jerry Hughes only bitched out a referee and forever was targeted, can we expect the same from here on out with young Epenesa? Did he just make his career that much more difficult? Discuss! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPT Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Hussey should be fired. His reaction to that bump was totally unhinged and definitely personal. 5 15 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 (edited) So in the NBA getting kicked out of a game includes a suspension for next game. What are NFL rules on that?

Buddo Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Possibly. Looked to me that AJ was moving Shaq out of the way, when Hussey pushed him, AJ had his back to Hussey, and stuck his elbow back and caught Hussey, who then lost the plot. No doubt the NFL will side with the zebra, but imho, common sense should prevail, and Epenesa shouldn't be unduly punished, especially as he was trying to keep Shaq away from getting into it. Imho, Hussey was a complete idiot in his actions. You don't go shoving NFL players around who can't see you, and expect no reaction. Good referees don't get involved in that way in the first place, especially when the guy you are shoving, is trying to defuse the situation. 9 10 2 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wppete Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Hefty fine for sure let’s hope not a suspension. We need him next week against the Cheifs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillies Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Prolly thought it was a Steeler player, until it wasn't (oops). Plus, he was already a little hot from some after-the-whistle shoving he got the play before. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmart128 Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Cant believe AJ fot ejected for removing his teammate from a fight. It was obviously Epenesa just accidentally making contact with elbow as he was taking Shaq away 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hussey is not a good referee. Wouldn't be surprised if he initiated contact from behind on purpose to draw a reaction. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Yeah Hussey was completely in the wrong. Epenensa better not get fined, much less suspended. 3 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ had no clue who was pushing him. Hussey (Steve Carell) will never be a top ref. And yes I'm sure he'll hold a grudge on AJ from here on out. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
