We weren't* realistically competing for a Super Bowl this year even in the playoffs. It was mostly just for feel good vibes to see how far we could get.

Type of thing that has gotten fined all year. But they missed it, then try to defend it and just want to move on. Its whatever. I think most just wanted the acknowledgment it was what it was, not necessarily the fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most just wanted the acknowledgment it was what it was, not necessarily the fine. Just heard an interesting ESPN radio interview. I only caught about 5 minutes of it as it was a short drive. But the dude said it was Jon Runyan who decided not to fine the hit as he saw it as "incidental" head to head contact. ESPN dude said in no way was it dirty as there was no intent to injure nor make contact with Wentz's head. Of course, I loved the interview because the dude went on to bang on Philly fans. Said you guys will cheer the loudest for anyone else getting injured, but also cry foul the loudest if any of your dudes get hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the there intentional contact to the head? No. I think you can argue that maybe there should have been a penalty, but it definitely wasn't intentional or dirty. I'm sorry fellow Eagles fans, but y'all are soft if you're calling for a suspension to Clowney after that. I do get upset when we suffer injury after injury after injury simply because I want to see us do what I believe we're capable of doing and not be at the mercy of unfortunate circumstances time and time again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jroc04 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Don’t think it was dirty but it deserved a fine. He hit and drove a helmet into the ground. On a QB no less. It’s everything the NFL has tried to stop the passed few years. I’ve seen plenty guys not try to hit or land on a QB wrong, not try to hit him in the knees or accidentally swing an arm and hit the head and get a penalty. Don’t think it was dirty but it was helmet to helmet contact not initiated by the ball carrier with some extra sauce. Should have been penalized. Should have been fined.

He should have been fined. The NFL is inconsistent as hell with garbage like this. He practically speared Wentz who was already going to the ground. If that happens to Rodgers or Brady the dude is 100% losing some of his paycheck but that is how the league is. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2020/01/11/controversial-blindside-block-from-bills-texans-game-draws-a-fine/ That play got fined. Clowney didn't. It is a joke, the NFL is lost, and everyone who can think critically about it knows it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote It is a joke, the NFL is lost, and everyone who can think critically about it knows it. I can blatantly spell it out for you. People can have their own opinions on what should/shouldn't be penalized. The league shouldn't. Their rulings make no sense on a case by case basis. It is nothing new and has been going on for years. If you don't think Clowney should have got fined for that, so be it. If you think the league wouldn't have fined Clowney if that was Aaron Rodgers head he crushed, you are off your rocker. The NFL's former VP of Officiating's take on these two plays: https://94wip.radio.com/mike-pereira-jadeveon-clowney-cheap https://billswire.usatoday.com/2020/01/04/mike-pereira-questions-penalty-on-bills-cody-ford/ So according to someone who literally used to be one of the top dogs in the league is saying the EXACT opposite of what the league did. He believes Clowney took a cheap shot and he thought the call on Cordy Ford call was a no call. If this doesn't make it blatantly clear that the league is a joke and completely lost when it comes to how they deal out these punishments, then yes, you flat out can't use critical thinking skills.

I told you during the game I thought you were blowing it out of proportion. I thought the hit was borderline but not dirty. I even pointed out to you in the GDT that I was not sure it would be fined. And no, I dont think Arod = fine and Wentz it doesnt. You clearly disagree. That is exactly what the guy on the radio was talking about, BTW.

Yeah, your reading comprehension is just terrible. I didn't say a single word about what I thought about the hit in that post, or about Carson's injury. I only commented on how the league deals out punishments. Trying to converse with you is like trying to talk to a wall. Idk why I have ever bothered.
