So players get fined for wearing the wrong headphones,not talking to the media and doing certain TD celebrations yet an admittedly deliberate cheap shot with intent to injure goes unpunished? For all the talk about player safety,how's that for consistency from Goodell not that I should be expecting anything else

Disgusting.

'Cause he did that doesn't mean he had the intent to injure. Dude is 300lbs. If he wanted to injure dude he would have. He just took offense to the pats running the score up and showed it.

Eric Berry had chest discomfort after the Raiders game, MRI showed mass in his chest, Chiefs think it may be lymphoma, but no diagnosis yet.

He fully admitted himself that he went low on him and who does that during the kneeldown?

No ******* way man

Thats so awful . If it is cancer i have faith that EB is the type to beat that and continue his career

 

[bigmike23]

Plzzzzz don't be cancer

 

[elpablo21]

 I hope it isnt Lymphoma

 

[rolaholic]

Damn hope that EB diagnosis turns out to be not as serious

Statement from #Chiefs S Eric Berry on his diagnosis via @KCChiefs:

“I am truly thankful for all of the support from family, friends, coaches, teammates and the entire Chiefs kingdom. At first I was in shock with the diagnosis on Saturday and did not even want to miss a game, but I understand that right now I have to concentrate on a new opponent. I have great confidence in the doctors and the plan they are going to put in place for me to win this fight. I believe that I am in God’s hands and I have great peace in that. I know my coaches and teammates will hold things down here the rest of the season and until I am back running out of the tunnel at Arrowhead. I am so thankful and appreciative of being a part of this franchise and playing in front of the best fans in the NFL. I will be back!”

New England was about to kick a FG until their center got illegally trucked. That resulted in a 15 yard pentalty and an automatic first down

DET ran the score up on themselves if anything

Risking another man's potential to provide for his family because youre salty that you cant score? Pretty low

please explain to me what his intent then was? last play of the game being down by 25 points knowing that your QB is going to take a knee ?

you're smarter than that bruh

you also clearly didn't watch the game . the pats didn't run the score up ; they chose to kick a field goal on 4th and 1 but the Lions penalty made it first and goal . they ran the ball and scored a touchdown . if in your mind thats "running up the score" you do not understand football

 

[rolaholic]

People like to act like it's pee wee football when talking about running up the score 

 

 

[proshares]

They should have really tried to run it up with that pathetic showing and that dirty play.

Sucks to hear about EB man, hoping for the best

I look forward to the NFL changing the playoff seeds after one of these NFC South teams make the playoffs. I think after the Saints or Falcons make it this year, they'll address it during the offseason.

Not going to happen.

Are you sure? Not too long ago the NFC West was probably the worst division in football and the Saints had to play a road playoff game in Seattle despite winning 11 games.

It happens.

don't forget the part about the Saints losing to that 7-9 Seattle team. division winner will always make the playoffs.

I know he admitted it. I think if he was trying to hurt him dude would have at least a sprained ligament in his knee. I think dude was just expressing his frustration.

The Pats couldn't have run out the clock instead of scoring like most teams normally do?

Just saw an ESPN article that says they are reviewing it and considering a fine but not suspension : http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/1...ons-cut-block-new-england-patriots-zach-moore

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Should be suspended to set a tone that injuring players on purpose has no place in this league. It's a game. Not ufc.

 

[Retroballer]

Let's hope they caught it early enough and its beatable.

 

[jumpmanfromdabay]

EB

 

[stillin729]

That's some terrible news for Berry

Agreed.  I think the issue was about running up the score. Trying to justify a low blow is never acceptable.  The league has put rules to enforce such hits.  Had it gone south, another controversy might've occurred.

this. EB, man
