He attacked then got hit that is what happened. League messed up here focusing on the more violent act without handling the underlying cause...

Mason Rudolph should be significantly fined as well for trying to rip @MylesLGarrett helmet off his head which ignited the retaliation. He's not without fault in the unfortunate matter. This is a physical,emotional game played by men. Let's not forget that. @nflnetwork #Truth

Everything about that incident was normal, and occurs in several games a year, if not weekly. Swingin' a man's helmet at his exposed head was where things got out of line. I've already said it... Mason Rudolph could have been killed , or his life forever changed by that. Nothing leading up to that act matters.

What would you be saying if that happened to Ryan Finley or any Bengal. I already know, but just checking.

Number one this whole incident was caused by Rudolph's dirty play. After Garrett retaliated by pulling Rudolph's helmet off , Rudolph repeatedly lunged at Garrett while he was engaged with a three hundred pound line man. If you don't want to get you helmet pulled off and KABONGED with it then don't try to do the same to others.

Bullshit. He's as much to blame as Rudolph, Garrett and Okechobee or whatever the hell his name is. 

Garrett should be gone for the year, Pouncey should be suspended 2-4 games and Rudolph and that other Brown should get huge fines. I didn't see DeCastro do anything other than try and stop Garrett from being more of an idiot.

If they would have stood up and Rudolph shoved Garrett and cussed a little, ok, flag and go on. But Rudolph didn't do that. He grabbed Garrett's helmet while they were on the ground twisting and turning his head and neck inciting the whole thing in the first place !

Is what Rudolph did anywhere near the level of what Garrett did ? nope, in no way close. But that doesn't mean Rudolph was just an innocent bystander in this mess. Rudolph should get fined and probably suspended at least one game.

The Steelers come into the game with the intention of winning, because we've been contending for the playoffs every year for the last 20 years. The Bengals have played many games against the Steelers with the intent of proving they're tough and not just a helpless laughingstock - with the Steelers stuck in their heads the whole time. 

(11-15-2019, 08:09 AM)6andcounting Wrote: The league would never implement this, but my take is retaliation should be 100% legal (no flags, fine or suspensions) as long as the retaliation is roughly equal to the initial infraction. Flagging both players solves nothing and the worst is when they only flag the player who retaliated. The penalty for starting something should be flag/ejection and whatever - plus the other team getting a free pass to do the same to you. This would actually reduce this type of behavior and reduce the antics or players that just antagonize for cheap penalties.

(11-15-2019, 03:45 PM)jason Wrote: A bigger penalty to the Steelers is actually allowing Rudolph to keep playing... Just sayin'.


Dat boy sucks!!!

On a side note... Baker Hayseed should watch his knees here in 2 weeks.

This is the type of post that makes crybaby ***** steelers fans look like crybaby bitches. Sack up, lady. You're not looking as tough as your team right now.
