Ravens- the dirtiest birds in the league

Slo-mo makes it much more fun to watch!

 

Suggs should have been ejected. He should be suspended at least one game and fined. Can you imagine if Harrison would have done this?

 

Welllllllll, I think it was Harrison's last hit on Flacco where he definitely drove him in the ground. Think he got the AARP benefit of the doubt from the refs; "no way that old dude could pick him up and slam him"

 

Or as a stand in for Enemy Mine 2. That's why I changed my avatar.

 

They need to add McPhee to the list as well. During that hat trick of sacks he jumped up and smacked the top of Ben's helmet which should have drawn a flag but didn't. Not as bad as the rest but clearly showed that they were going to hit Ben regardless of the rules.

 

Their goal was to knock Ben out of the game, they get their dirty playing from their sneaky head coach, it wouldn't surprise me if he didn't put a bounty on Ben, both Hairballs are losing and I hope they keep losing...

 

I loved how we went right back at them. Next possession McClendon drives Flacco in the turf. Not sure if it should have been a penalty or not. Don't care. You put one of ours in the hospital we put one of yours in the morgue to quote Sean Connery...

Last night was awesome when the dirty birds were falling apart and we kept the foot on the gas. 43 points on that "vaunted" defense is payback enough. Enjoy the cellar Johnny!!!

 

He should have been ejected for that. Suggs can and did say he was trying for the leg not the knee but the head-butt to the face on Ben was a deliberate strike. League won't do it but he should miss a game or two for that hit.

 

Now that a few hours have passed...and my blood pressure is back down to normal levels...I have to say that the ravens have stooped to an all-time low in their sleazy,scumbag,dirty,cheapshot,underhanded,slimeball defense tactics...particularly SUGGS.Suggs deserves maybe the highest fine EVER handed down by the NFL for his(what should be)criminal action against Blount.Ravens got stomped as they deserved...total scumbags. WAY TO GO STEELERS!!!

 

I agree that the Ravens may be the dirtiest team I have ever watched. I have been watching football for a long time (45 years ) and I remember the raiders and their tactics. The difference is the ravens cant out physical a team without the dirtyness. They cant play physical and win, they have to play dirty to injure and remove other players in order to think they are better.

 

Thugs will be thugs!

 

That was the dirtiest football i've seen since some high school games I played that involved tooth picks in knee pads and finger nails sharpened like knives. I just hope Dr Wallace did his work well enough that some ravens are visiting therapists today for hugs and support.

 

Can somebody tell me when NFL fines come out...or is it at Rogers discretion (control freak)? I have a bet with a sorry @$$ raven fan that Thuggs will get fined for his hit on Blount...but I can't find any NFL fines yet for week 9. I thought they came out on Tuesdays usually. Thanks in advance.

 

That is funny. So do you get feeling queasy every time you see Suggs without his helmet?

 

No, he got the benefit of knowing what the rules are. He clearly did not wrap up and drive Flacco to the ground and held his arms out to prove it. Even on the way down you could see he had his head up and was looking right at the official when he landed.

 

The Ravens are saying their top CB, Smith is out for the season. A little football karma?

 

Any fines will be announced today.

 

Ravens outside linebacker Terrell Suggs acknowledged that he's heard from the NFL regarding his controversial hit on Pittsburgh Steelers running back LeGarrette Blount.
Suggs was penalized for unnecessary roughness when he struck the running back from behind during a 43-23 loss Sunday night. He was called a dirty player by Blount and Steelers linebacker James Harrison accused Suggsof intentionally trying to hurt Blount with a low tackle.

Suggs might face a fine from the league office. Fines are typically communicated to players by Thursday via a registered letter from the NFL, and are announced Friday afternoon.
"A little something, but we're going to see," Suggs said when asked if he'd been contacted by the league. "We're going to look into it."

 

That's a small fine IMO.. He paused seen the runner was all but stopped and chose to go hit him and hit him low ...That hit could have very well ended his career ...

Should have fined him 25 K IMO...

 

Suggs was fined less, than when a player wears 'Beats bye Dre' headfone's
