Did anyone else notice...

[stillers4me]

We taped the Ravens game last night on NFL Network (we got diresct TV on Monday, yeah!)and I watched alittle bit right before I went to bed.

I watched the "stupid play", the one where Ben fumbled and the Ravens scored a TD while everyone stood around and dranking latte with the refs. :drink:

I need to look at it again, but when they showed it from another angle, one arm was knocking the ball out of Ben's hand and the other was behind Ben, shoving his head down. This was right after Suggs dove at Ben's knees. I have to watch it again tonight to be sure.

[X-Terminator]

No, your eyes didn't deceive you. A number of people have complained that there should have been a flag thrown for Suggs hitting Ben in the head, but of course it wasn't. We just have to face it - Ben will never receive the protection that the other star QBs get.

[venom]

I was watching it last night again , I did not notice it-will look at next time its on .

[Texasteel]

I noticed it right off, but have become so use to the new Ben rule, which is that you can do what ever the hell you want to do to him, that I didn't think that much of it.

If half that stuff happened to Marsha, the entire Jets team would have been kicked out to the game and the cheerleaders executed.

Thank You mister GODell for a fair and even NFL.

[CPanther95]

You can punch him in the face and break his nose without a penalty, so I guess we're still waiting to see where the line is drawn with Ben.

I think if 4 guys get to him and draw & quarter him, we'll probably get a 5 yard defensive holding call.

[T&B fan]

but he was just trying to tackle him:sarcasm2:

[Galloway6]

I don't think Ben will ever get the calls.

[Silverback]

Yeah. Noticed it the first time I saw the replay. Suggs right hand smacks the right side of Ben's helm, and Sugg's left smacks the back of Ben's helm, twisting and forcing his head down.

Luckily, we have a man at QB and not a Nancy.

Still, gotta love the NFL's double standards when it comes to "the elites". Remember the Indy and Philly game when Manning fumbled on 4th and long but it was called back because a defender touched his helmet while going for the ball?

Ben (around the 1:45 mark):

C'est la vie. We won, now it's on to the Jets. Hopefully, Ed's crew will do a good job.

[Animal Mother]

Wow those two videos spell it out perfectly. Unreal.

[T&B fan]

thanks for posting the video . I did not see that in the game. he was going for his head .

[zulater]

Wow those two videos spell it out perfectly. Unreal.

Wow, that is absolutely true! What a double standard!

[zulater]

Yeah. Noticed it the first time I saw the replay. Suggs right hand smacks the right side of Ben's helm, and Sugg's left smacks the back of Ben's helm, twisting and forcing his head down.

Way to slam home a point Silverback! If we we're in a courtroom, you just had a Perry Mason moment. :applaudit:

[Texasteel]

After seeing the video again I think I changed my mind. He didn't hit Ben in the head, he grabbed his head with both hands and tried to twist it off like a bottle cap.


**** You GODell.

[Angina]

Oh hell, if Ray McStabby Lewis knifed Ben on the field he wouldn't get a flag, maybe a fine after the fact for using a prop, ala OchoStinko.

Thank God, Ben is so tough and resilient.

[Silverback]

In the case of the NFL vs Roger GODell, the prosecution rests, your honor :wink02:

[Dino 6 Rings]

kind of funny that we didn't get a call there...but I have a feeling...I feel that we will get all the calls this weekend...after all...we pay the refs :)

[GodfatherofSoul]

Same thing happened to Brady, too. A guy barely swiped his helmet and got called for a PF.

[Butch]

No I did not notice but the FOOTBALL GODS Noticed

Final Score we win losers go home!!!

Suggs is a LOSER just like his scumbag team!!!

Enjoy the golf games boys!!!

[tube517]

As soon as Ben drops back to throw, the refs look at the OL for holding and any false start/procedure calls. After that, they will look at their watches to see what time it is.

[vasteeler]

yeah i saw it as it happened. what can you do though?......fuggin' refs

[stillers4me]

Check it out at 1:42............

[ALLD]

Goodell reminds me of Col. Klink from Stalag 13. The NFL will do anything to slow down the Steelers because they win too much. That's why there are rules created to restrict their play and other rules to enhance the play of others who cannot compete under existing rules.

The head shot was definitely there, but he didn't take a shot at the knees, that was a perfectly good hit right on the quads.

[BigNastyDefense]

This is what I have come to expect from (no)Goodell's NFL.

[SMR]

Nuthin' surprises me as long as Goodell is in power.

[O'Malley]

That's against the rules? I was under the impression that hittin Ben in the head was okay!

[86WARD]

Definitely should've been a penalty for both of those plays. Again...Brady/Manning get that call...obviously, Ben does not...lol.

[Galax Steeler]

Suggs had every intention of taking Ben out of that game. He was hit in the head by Suggs and also he went for his knees.
