NFL Week 11 Thread: Hines Ward crack-back block edition

Is it too late to flex the next one to Sunday night? Or is that not allowed?

 

I'm sure many on this board know of this incident, but for those who don't: History Lesson: The Time Matt Millen Punched The Patriots' General Manager In The Head

I was a Raiders fan at the time, and that was one of those "how the hell did they lose" kind of games. Almost as maddening to me as the Patriots' playoff win over the Chargers 21 years later.

 

Has a regular season thread ever been locked?

 

There are 30 other teams' quarterbacks that Myles Garret could have clobbered upside with a helmet.
Just our luck, he did it to a Steeler.

 

Garrett's attack on Rudolph began with his grabbing the QB's helmet violently and repeatedly, wrenching his head back and forth and for quite a long period of time. The event when taken in full really truly is felonious and career-ending, IMO.

 

Rudolph grabbed Garrett's helmet first, when both were still on the ground.

At the :21 second mark here, in the reverse angle.

He grabbed it to protect himself. He was probably scared shitless.

 

Mike Mitchell was a goon.

 

I still cannot figure out why Garrett just didn’t just let that play go on. The ball was gone. The game was over.

 

Mike Mitchell was incompetent.

 

I was there! I was about 50 feet away, but behind the initial scrum so I didn't see it happen. Amazing to think of what would happen to a player who slugged a GM today. At the time it was just like, "oh, well, the Raiders." Even Pat Sullivan joked about it.
