Something no one is talking about.

"You saw it this morning"

Speaks volumes

He's going to be suspended for knocking one guy down by pushing him in the back and grabbing another player's helmet by the facemask during the ensuing scuffle I have watched a lot of high school, college and professional football in my life. I have never seen a player ejected or suspended over a shove in the back or grabbing a guy by the facemask. This would be the first. Good luck with that.

I was a little surprised he wasn't ejected although I agree that would be rare. I agree he won't be suspended; I fully expect him to be fined, though.

I gotta disagree on this. The play was very clearly over. It was dirty, as was the trip from last game. Flo started a fight, plain and simple. He wasn't, however, going after Kiwanuka, as others have claimed. Flo saw Kiwanuka coming after him, so he got his hand up on his mask.

Yeah rewatch the play, daBoysFan just posted a youtube link to disprove his theory. The ref in the foreground is clearly blowing the play dead not a second before Flo hits the guy.

 

[DallasEast]

Yeah I didn't see any replays of it yesterday and saw it on SC this morning......

What did ESPN say? Did the network influence your opinion nearly a full day later

Dude what situation in football is it cool to run up and hit someone in the bakc if you're not tackling them? if that wasn't a penalty why was a flag thrown? C'mon man lets be realistic. I may have been wrong about the penalty being enforced but everything else is valid. Hell FLo is even running towards the locker room.

Na not even. seeing it made it worse ya know?

I do agree about the fine, but the referees responded correctly in my opinion.

Thank goodness. ESPN gets accused of enough nonsense like this as is.

It was a penalty, it was a late hit. It was not a dirty play.

How is that not dirty? You're a joke.

Adams shoved Tuck. He didn't club him in the back with a stick.

so that makes it right ?

Irrelevant. Your question asked if he should be suspended. If every player was suspended for shoving or grabbing hold of a facemask during games, there would a helluva lot of backups starting each week.

My advice? Watch the action between players away from the camera's focus (e.g. running back, receiver or quarterback) sometimes. You'll see a lot of the same interaction between players which you're wanting Adams to be suspended over.

 

[big dog cowboy]

So does anyone think he's getting suspended?

Nope.

 

[Boyzmamacita]

Did it ever occur to you guys that Tuck did something to Flo before that shove in the back? The camera didn't catch what happened before all of that. Granted, Flo needs to control his anger, but he's human and I don't put it past Tuck to do something that would warrant retaliation on another man's part. I just wish Flo would've handled it differently.

 

[Oh_Canada]

I am not a huge Flo fan, but I would hardly call that a fight and it was certainly not suspendable.

That's not a farfetched idea. Both men hate each other. Tuck stated his general opinion of Adams during the postgame interview and it was subdued to say the least. It's the NFL. Players in every era have engaged in hate relationships for over 80 years. Adams and Tuck are no different.

I'm not sure many players action cause a fight. However, the point is that Flo has repeatedly been involved in dirty plays could the league be feed up and with his antics? Who knows ?

I said he may of been provoked. However, even if he was provoked cooler head should prevail. It's also in football the second guy almost always seems to get caught.

Exactly. The next step would be suspending players for using harsh language. Whoa.

Have you drawn up a list of Adams' "dirty antics"? Maybe it'll be the same one that will be presented to Goodell this week? Can we see it?
