straightouttacoughlin Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Anyone else love when players get in fights? I mean its like a love hate especially now-a-days, because fights between players are way more strict and they can get fined and suspended for a game/games; which is understandable in that aspect. But I've always loved when players fight.. It's bothersome when some people say, 'I cant believe they would actually do that' or 'how could they, they are a disgrace to there team'. Football is a competitive 'contact' sport.. of course the players take the sport seriously and can get worked up from the competitive nature/in the moment. I do agree that sometimes it can be out of line. But hey at least in Hockey they give the players time to throw down with each other; then once they are done, they continue the game like nothing happened. I truly miss the Steve Smith Sr. days, he was one of my favorite players alone just for fighting.. The dude was a bulldog and would put people in there place. At least A.J. Green punching Ramsey's with his helmet on wasn't as dumb as no-helmet Brian Cushing headbutting someone WITH there helmet on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with Evans being suspended but how is AJ Green not suspended? I think choking a guy and throwing several punches is worse than blind siding a guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Evans blind sided someone at full speed for no reason. It was equally as bad as Green, but as a new Green owner I get to play with my shinny new toy a week earlier than I expected. Should I buy low now on Evans 🤔 Edited November 6, 2017 by jamesplante11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's as bad, but still suspension worthy. Green not being suspended is mind boggling to me. He looked like an MMA fighter and not a football player. Next week should be a good week to stream whatever defense is playing the Bucs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just dumb. Choking...can't help you on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaft Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Both should be suspended and as an Evans owner I'm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounded to me like AJ should have been suspended. I heard somebody say that the guy said something to him, because AJ never goes nuts like that. Also heard the ref admit that Ramsey was ejected because he thought he saw him throw a punch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMD Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I think one of the differentiating reasons why Evans was suspended and Green was not is that Green was already ejected at the start of the game so he sort of already had a one-game suspension. Evans still played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evans still played. They were basically ejected at half time, a half game suspension doesn't seem like enough. I do agree that Ramsey should not have been suspended 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
