I usually don't get upset watching football that much, but that was the biggest bunch of garbage I've seen. Not just as a Dolphin fan, but as a fan of sportsmanship in general. Light pulls Crowder's hair, and punches him while he himself has a helmet on... and they're both ejected. Crowder would have owned his fat @$$.
i agree total BS on Lights part... they both had to be ejected just because they were involved... but come next week, the NFL should be suspending, and fining the heck out of matt light. thats unacceptable behavior... Crowder shouldnt really get anything, all he did was shove Matt light... that happens all the time... knowing the nfl though, they'll probably both get it evenly... which stinks...
Sorry bro.. but that's not the word I used at first... lol... it was a little stronger. FFnC was right for the censorship.
he got punched in the head a few times, and had his hair pulled... i guess thats ejection worthy still, he was involved in a fight, they usually always throw out both players as far as i can recall...
Yea, I didn't understand why he was ejected. Penalty ok, but Light should have been the only one ejected.
I know that but he did not throw a punch. I see players push other players helmets all the time and they stay in the game.
yeah... it'll be interesting to see the fines and the time served. Channing was all smiles because he didn't do anything nearly as bad as Light... up until he was ejected too... then he got furious. If they get the same punishment I'll be at a loss, I may have to stick to college football for a week or so, lol.
So he didn't retaliate.... So what your saying is if 2 people get involved in a fight 1 person just defends himself by turning away they should both get thrown out? MAKES 0 sense. Makes as much sense as Deidorf defending Mosses push off.
Who was it that took Light to the ground after that? Whoever that was is officially my hero for the week.
I hate the Patriots. I can't wait until they fail. And they will fail. They are going to go away in the next season or two and you probably will need some kind of tracking device to ever find a Pats fan again.
too bad ive got to work with a pat fan and my best friend and his fam are pat fans. dont think ill be talking to him this week until they lose to pitsburgh
Lost in all this is the fact that Matt Roth just bull rushed a Pats lineman...I was happy to see he was still on our roster considering his play the past 6 weeks.
I hate the Patriots, absolutely hate them. Ejecting Crowder? C'mon, let's be real... PI call on Goodman? Give me a break, Moss had his arm extended for fifteen yards before pushing off him to make that catch. There should have been an unsportsmanlike conduct call on the play before the PI call. I don't remember which one, but a Patriots linemen took a player standing (just standing) next to the pile watching and threw him on the ground after the whistle was blown. The refs screwed us, they did... the Moss TD blew the momentum... You take that back and penalize him for 15 yards and then what? It's still a 3 point game and the Patriots would likely have been kicking a FG...
As much as I believe Light should get suspended for throwing punches, he is a Patriot, nothing is going to happen to him except for the standard fine for getting ejected. I'd bet right now that both their fines are the same.
It's a similar situation. Crowder didnt participate in the fight or throw a punch or anything. If anything Ayodele should have been ejected for tackling light to the ground after. Crowder bumped Light, that happens a thousand times in a game.
I did not see it, but will later....I have a friend who recorded it for me. But from the history of the league Crowder was headed to the locker room...not a good rule, since he was not the one that started anything. Yea Light will get off lucky because he is with NE which is BS also. The radio team was talking like there were several calls that were BS towards the end, and they usually seem to be pretty fair on the calls. We just need to regroup, learn from it and move on to next week.
A) If you shoved someone and he punched you, you "participated" in the fight. B) Crowder didnt bump, he shoved Matt Light back. C) If you were in the street and you shoved a guy and he punched you, BOTH parties will go to jail or get cited.
yes he did Alex. light pulled his helmet off and pushed him away and Crowder came back at him and slammed him in the chops with both hands. It was then that light grabbed a handful of dreads and showed channing why they suck in a fight.
In a way it's nice to see some fight in these Dolphins compared to last year. Not saying that the Crowder/Light tussle was acceptable by any means, but I really think that this team wants to win worse than they did that's year and that's only going to make this team better in the long run in my opinion.
