Kazee suspended for the rest of the year

You hardly ever see big hits in the NHL anymore. The NFL is getting to the point of flag football while taking the same path. Perhaps they should just play Duck Duck Goose or Tug of War But hey that might be too physical as well.

 

I'm all for player safety, but I'd rather see a player's soul draining out onto the grass after a big defensive hit than watch these idiot offensive players get up and dance after every single little play they make. Not sure what the big draw is there, but it's a different game now I guess.

 

All he had to do was keep his head up, feet on the ground, and play through the guy to avoid the penalty but still break up the pass. It's not any different than the Burfict hit on AB.

 

I’m an old schooler … I miss 70s-80s even 90s NFL football. Back when you could actually play defense.

 

I mostly agree, although I think Burfict had intent just because of the fact he was a lunatic. Kazee hit the head directly. It was a bad hit that was clearly illegal. Kazee plays a reckless style of football

 

The Burfect hit on Brown was different in my opinion. The ball went through ABs hands and Burfect came in with the head shot after the play was all but blown dead. Kazes hit was more bang bang, albeit illegal regardless.

 

I don't know if these players have that much time to make an analytical decision at the speed they play at. JMO>

 

Just wait until some defensive back let's up in a big game to avoid the penalty and the reciever blows right by him untouched. People are gonna lose their sh!t.
I remember it happening with a quarterback where the defender wrapped him up but didn't throw him down to avoid the penalty. The quarterback simple spun out of it and they didn't call in the grasp. He took off and ran for big yards.

 

Strongly disagree. Look at the photo. Kazee literally could not have gone any lower with his strike zone. He was bent over 90 degrees. If he stayed upright and ran through him, Pittman would have blown out Kazee's knees.

 

Not just the season, but the playoffs too if by some miracle they make it

 

They don't give a you know what about player safety. They care about being sued. If they cared about player safety they wouldn't be adding games and especially Thursday games where sometimes teams have to play on not nearly enough rest.

 

Why do people keep saying this? There's absolutely no correlation between injuries and thursday night games.

 

You're not wrong, they didn't show a replay of it on the broadcast until later as well.

 

or he would have actually compressed the head into the neck, a much worse hit than what happened.
It's a very unlucky situation for Kazee.

 

From that shot you can clearly see he's taking a shot at the ball and has his head turned away from contact.
The only reason the WR head is contacted is because he's diving and coming down.

How does a league look at that picture and call it a headshot?

 

Goodell hates the Steelers

If that was the one involving Prescott, the DB avoided contact and flew over him, not making contact, and called for the penalty I don't believe he even touched him. JMO>

 

The NFL is an entertainment business, makes lots of money, and does what it wants instead of what the fans want. So as long as people go to the games and watch their commercials, you just need to embrace the BS. If you still watch the NFL (live) with the way things are, you should be fine with what is happening. I used to be an NFL addict and go to my fav bar if we were not on tv, but Goodell convinced me that isn't a very smart thing to do as he has/is ruining the game, and the product is in decline.

Everything was warranted IMO. No need to dip and use your shoulder.

 

I miss 2008

 

It's was a shoulder hit not helmet.I disagree with suspension.
The NFL don't give a damn about player's safety or they would get rid of artificial turf...NFL stadiums will switch to grass for World Cup Soccer but won't do the same to protect it's own players

 

Because as the play unfolded from that picture he makes full contact with his head and neck area. Gonna draw the flag every time which sucks because as he's going into the hit I don't think that was his intent but it's the end result that matters.
