But you’re right, it does seem like the league is at a point they’re not going to ignore the really dirty (and dangerous) stuff from them anymore.


It was bullshit, no question. The league has painted itself in a corner with all of the awareness about concussion and helmet to helmet hits. There would be a lot of uproar if they were allowed to continue those egregious hits. Rightfully so. Gone are the days of "keeping your head on a swivel", so why fear these guys anymore? They're not that good, and not really that well coached anymore with all of the assistant turnover.

Yep, I liked Dupree a lot when he was at UK and wanted the Bengals to draft him. Tomlin sure turned him to the dark side.

I'll take what I saw yesterday. That just fires up our guys and reminds them to keep a foot on their neck.

They still tried to take out Reiff's (I think it was) knees on a block, and Watt tried to hurt Burrow.
