Talib - dirty play of the year!

[Rob0729]

I think there are going to be a couple of Broncos players having an unpaid vacation next weekend.

Von Millers knee to the throat of a down player was probably worse

Seriouly? what the flying ****!

 

[bogengames]

Agreed. It was pretty low but you may recall Wilfo did almost exactly the same thing and we all thought it1 was funny. S1peakin1g for mysel1f at1 least

We play Denver Week 12, yes? That guarantees a ban of no more than 2 games. If we were playing them next week he'd have got a nominal fine and no ban...

What does it take for a player to be ejected from the game, by the way? That was as blatant a serious infraction as you'll get, yet he stayed in. A change of rules must come in after this...

Forgive my serious typing issues

 

[BingoBrown]

I'm surprised the media isn't calling him former Patriots CB Talib.

They would if it were a real league but it's not and it's Peyton (one yard short) Manning's team so...

 

[Brady6]

I think the Broncos should cut him. It's what the Steelers did when Blount walked off the field early.

Denver is a dirty team...Talib, Miller AND Ward! i am worried for our health when they play us. We really cant afford any other injuries as we are starting to run out of players

There's time for the Pats to get healthier.

 

[Bella*chick]

Why was he not ejected?

 

[neuronet]

From comment thread:

Sometimes you just have to stand back and admire it when a Belichick sleeper agent breaks cover at a key moment. That was a thing of beauty.

 

[Observer]

The NFL has a serious problem differentiating between serious misconduct and minor infraction. i am astounded that that did not merit an ejection.

 

[English Patriot]

I hope something bad happens to TJ Ward, i've never seen a player go at someones knee with intention to hurt REPEATEDLY the way he does. I will not be upset if one day news came out that he has brain trauma. Pathetic excuse of a player trying to ruin others livelihoods.

From your lips to God's ears...

No. The knee to the throat, egregious as it may be, was an immediate reaction at the end of the play. Talib deliberately walked over from a distanced and purposfully poked his fingers into the guy's eye. Should have been ejected. Should be suspended for several games and heavily fined. It's as bad as I've seen.

But, all that being said, thank you Talib. That was quite entertaining.

 

[Bruins29]

That is why the other day when I said Ward was on the list of players we want injured a couple of posters asked why? He is Bernie Pollard Jr

 

[MitchKumstein]

At least Talib was remorseful about it

After the game Talib said that Colts TE Dwane Allen "acted like he was in a 17-, 18- car wreck" at penalty at end of game

 

[MassPats38]

Remember the Panthers game a few years ago? Steve Smith said something that caused Talib to commit multiple penalties.

Yes. The bizarre/pathetic leg grab.

Worse yet, Smith followed that up with a verbal and physical beatdown ("Ice up, son.").
