Suggs Penalty

[Atlsteelers]

I know I may be in the minority here but when I first saw it I jumped up and was ready to come through the screen. But after seeing the replay it wasn't as bad as a hit I originally thought. I thought he went for the knees.

the scrum after the extra point that drew flags..there was one of the Ravens that toward the end went back into the pile and distinctly tried to kick someone. He swung his leg way back and gave a hearty kick. That kinda **** should a suspension and should have been an ejection from the game.

 

[Steeltime]

Rats should have known ... do NOT take a cheap shot at Ben. You will simply unleash ...

His inner Popeye!!

 

[awboatguy]

why would anyone cheer for a player that goes after someone's knees from behind, as the play was getting blown dead? That was a BS move, no matter who did it. If Timmons or Harrison did that to Forsett, I'd be pissed at them.

Straight up that was a dirty play by Suggs and he talks a lot of **** for a guy who was handled by a Tight End all night.

Bottom line is it was unnessary and he was out of the play. Then he turned around and made a move to come in from behind and take a hit on a runner from behind when the runner was stopped. It was cheap.

It was Upshaw who hit Ben with the crown of his helmet in the first game, and it was Upshaw who hit Ben in the jaw last night.

Targeting an individual player with two blatant personal fouls in two games. He was fined for the first. One game suspension.

The last time the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers crossed paths in their AFC North rivalry, Baltimore outside linebacker Courtney Upshaw hammered Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger on a sack that made all the highlight shows. Upshaw was flagged for roughing the passer on the play and later fined by the NFL for hit, which only added to the buzz about the play. Upshaw's coach, John Harbaugh, was among those who considered it a textbook tackle, not a penalty.

Upshaw will have the opportunity to get after Roethlisberger again on Sunday night when the Ravens visit the Steelers.

Upshaw is a former Eufaula High School star and Alabama standout. He considers his tone-setting smackdown of Roethlisberger in the Sept. 11 game as the top hit in his career.

"I would definitely rank that No. 1," Upshaw said last week. "It's the NFL. Nothing that I did in the past can out-rate that one because it's the NFL. And it's Ben. ... I had a chance to get a big hit, and I didn't pass up on it. We pride ourselves on being physical up front, and it started with that first play."

They aren't learning Roger and clearly being coached that hitting with the crown of the helmet is legal by their whinny ***** head coach. Suspension for Upshaw and fine for whinny ***** coach. Protect the shield Roger!!!!!

Must have put something in the water in Maryland. Ravens acted like thugs and U of Md refused to shake hands during the coin toss at PSU.

 

[Steeltime]

My opinion is this. First off not sure if the guy who hit Ben in the Jaw (Mosely?) was the same guy who hit him with the crown of his helmet to the chest body in the first game.

Yes, it is - Upshaw is the guy's name. Here is the hit - late and he went after Ben's head:

 

[thesteelcity]

Upshaw is a little *****!

 

[SteelersHarley0120]

If it was any Steelers playing the same thing we would have gotten a fine, suspension and threated impeachment from the NFL. UGH!

 

[GoSteelers]

Yes, it is - Upshaw is the guy's name. Here is the hit - late and he went after Ben's head:

and no penalty on the play?

 

[Vader]

and no penalty on the play?

There were 3 penalties on that play. Late hit on Ben, Holding on the CB, and horse collar tackle on the CB.

 

[bigtwnvin]

When that happens the entire O line should just grab the offender and start kicking his ***. It would be worth the 15 yard penalty. The prick wouldn't do it again.

 

[SteelerFan448]

He probably should be suspended (I don't know what the player's Association says about it) but he will get fined. I was more disappointed that Ben gets his jaw rocked and not one OL does anything.

Didn't they step up for him earlier in the season (DeCastro)? Would have liked to see it again. I appreciated when they stood up to Suggs after his dirty hit.

 

[Steelersrule]

Upshaw should have his bank account emptied. For Suggs penalty, make him work the Grand Canyon hauling fat old tourists.

 

[Free Agent]

Yes, it is - Upshaw is the guy's name. Here is the hit - late and he went after Ben's head:

I was hoping someone would post this. This is absolute garbage. The ball was well out of Ben's hands. What Upshall take 3-4 steps and he even left his feet.

 

[Steeltime]

I was hoping someone would post this.

To quote the great Spike:

And yet my karma bin is strangely empty ...

 

[bermudasteel]

LOL! You can always lift the ban then ban him again.

Someone likes to double dip his teabags...

 

[bermudasteel]

I hope Dr. Wallace did some of his proctologist work during that extra point scuffle on suggs or upshaw

I'm on my phone but I promise to bump you on the karma when I'm home! Hilarious!!!

 

[sullysezso71]

He should have been ejected from the game.

 

[bermudasteel]

Ravens showed their true colors last nite.

That shot from Upshaw on Ben was about as dirty as it gets. That should have warranted a ejection. His intention was to injure the QB with a cheap dirty shot to the head way after the ball left.

They looked like a bunch of thug bullies who were throwing a tantrum because the Steelers didn't back down from them. and were getting their arse beat down.

If Upshaw doesn't get suspended I will be pissed.

And why does Harballs always act like these penalties aren't warranted when he is standing there looking surprised after he just watched it on the jumbo.

A decent coach would have apologized for his teams performance after the game, but he is as dirty as they are.

Excellent post.

I think he should be fined based on how ugly he is... man needs to be hit with a frying pan... might make him look a bit better...

God made T-Sizzle on Friday at 4:59pm...He just slapped some spare parts together a shot him out the door.

I know someone is going to steal my joke.

That was bad on Ben. Was worse on Blount.


Really wish we had someone like Hines on the O side to take care of the cheap **** the D did. he would have lit them up with a smile. : )
