Clark Thinks Ref's Targeting Him

Can't say i disagree. The guy has a point

 

i think he only knows how to play one way and thats all out.

he could of hit that wr on the toe and they would have called it helmet to helmet.

im curious as to why no one is saying the wr may have been embelishing it a bit to get the call. Sanders is getting hammered for possibly faking an injury. the Giants wr layed on the ground like he did get hit in the head. just saying. it always seems like the Steelers are looked at a bit differently than other teams.

 

i certainly hope clark doesn't get fined by the commish for his comments......... the refs aren't the only ones out to get him.

 

Clark has become Matt cooke

 

Can't see it happening. If it does, it will be appealed and will be overturned.

 

Clark was flagged for helmet to helmet on a Raider's receiver a few years ago, when he hit him in the back. Do you remember that one?

 

Sunday, during one of the early games, a player who is infamous for hitting hard, got flagged - I said to my daughter's BF, Ryan Clark gets flagged for legal hits all of the time because he hits so hard...sure enough, on Sunday eve, he got another BS flag.

 

Yep, it's the way he hits guys. It looks scary, as intended, and is reminiscent of old school football. He puts fear into receivers who come his way. But he does it legally, like he did Sunday. Apparently Goodell and the current NFL regime don't like scary looking hits and fell intimidation has no place in todays NFL. :roll: Pathetic!

 

Clark wasn't being targeted but rather the Pittsburgh Steelers...this game was intended to be won by NY from the begining not only for the Giants but the tri-state area and the Ref's were in on the conspiracy C'Mon Man the officiated calls were well selected as well as the non-calls. But the Steelers over came all the adversity from the flight to the Bull on the field. That's my story and sticking to it!!

 

Sorry, if there really was a conspiracy the Steelers would have lost.

 

Soon it will be.

1. No helmet to helmet
2. Helmet to Rib
3. No impacts over a combined force of 12mph

Radar Speed Guns will be issued to all sideline judges.

We must protect our players.

 

I think Ryan should get some of his fine money back. The refs can blow calls all day and it is just Ho Hum. Fine them for blatant and costly mistakes. Or bring back the substitute refs.

And by the way, did you see the typical strangle hold the offensive tackle put on Harrison? I know its nothing new, but sheesh.

And the helmet to helmet on Wallace after he caugth the ball and was getting up?

 

Conspiracy--when people secretly plan together to do something bad or illegal.

There "attempted" plan failed......we win!

 

There were some horrible missed holding calls.

The Clark hit... I dunno. First time I watched it, I thought there was no way he could pull up out of the tackle. In slow motion you could maybe make a case for it. But seeing as the refs don't watch in slow motion, it's probably likely they called it because it was no. 25.

But Goodell said as much - the weight of fines is down to repeat offenders. So it's unsurprising that refs follow suit. "25 has just levelled someone? Probable a foul."

I may have posted it before, but in the 80's there was a soccer player named John Fashanu who was constantly getting targetted by the refs. Because, in fairness, he was a dirty player. But still. He got over it by chatting with the referee before the game, asking them about their wife and kids, generally being a nice bloke to them. Once he started doing that, he was targetted substantially less. The moral of the story? Sometimes players need to think a little less about the fairness of it all and more about how they can do what they do without costing the team.

 

That is like cheating and not winning.

 

Clark is dead on right. It sucks because he plays football the way its supposed to be played and is also just an all around good guy. Not dirty at all

 

Not sure we are on the same page here Scott...what did you mean by your last post? who are you refering to as the cheaters??? totally confused by your post.

 

Clark is a pretty hard hitter, I actually don't think he embelished it. I think he truly got rocked. No clue if Sanders faked that injury or not, but it sure looked like it at the time. I could really care less either way. The flag got thrown on Clark because the receivers head snapped back when Clark drilled him, and the refs have been told by Goodell that if there's any question at all about a blow to the head, to throw the flag. It's brutal really. Nothing like guilty until proven innocent, except in the NFL there's no way to prove yourself innocent.

 

If the refs truly wanted us to lose, we would have lost, it's as simple as that. They didn't make those calls so we would lose, they made those calls because they're incompetent.

 

I meant that if there was a conspiracy, the Steelers would have lost. There is no sense in conspiring unless you accomplish what you set out to do.

Conspiracy theories make me laugh because there are bad calls in every game against every team, not just the Steelers.

 

if the refs and Goodell want to take that approach than H2H hits need to be reviewable. there arent that many in a game so its not like it would slow the game down. it can be determined with one replay.

that call could have cost them the game.

 

i think he really was out cold. the neck snapped back pretty hard and i think that his head hitting the ground is what put him out. also i think the ref announced it as a late hit which makes it even worse as clark hit him before ike dropped the ball
