lil hunter Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 I don't know if any of you are watchin the game, but Packers reciever robert Ferguson just got closelined by a Jacksonville defender. The Jag got ejected from the game. Ferguson got carried off on a stretcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plannerman Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 Re: Robert Ferguson closelined... Hope he's ok, but as a Viking fan, I hope he recovers for NEXT YEAR!!!! Don't think it was a dirty play, just an instinctive kind of move to swat the ball out the receivers hands. Funny thing is, most Packer fans would have thought Favre could've just "laid hands" on Ferguson and healed him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUTNSTRUT Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 Re: Robert Ferguson closelined... Ejecting the Jacksonville player was the only good call the refs made the whole game. All these pass interferance calls when it isn't interferance are bull$hit. This is a full contact sport for gods sake. It is not even fun to watch football anymore,almost every pass play brings a flag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillbilly Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 Re: Robert Ferguson closelined... Packers are losing it!!!!!!! Rut Don't get all that mad, they loss fair and square. But yeah that was a cheap shot. If he wanted to he could have went for his lower body, or his waist. No he had is arm ready before the WR went for the ball. GO COLTS!!!

Strut_Buster Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 Re: Robert Ferguson closelined... that was a definite Closeline. Cheap shot. BUT. I dunno if Furguson was wearing either his helmet properly of a mouthgaurd. Both should be manditory in the NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's to protect your jaw, he hurt his neck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrud Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 Re: Robert Ferguson closelined... Fergie couldn't feel his legs until he got to the hospital. That shot was such bullsh. Darius needs to be gone for the season. Football is getting to be no fun too. Not just GB's defense, but the entire league. DB's are getting flagged for looking at the receiver wrong. That's not too cool either Plannerman. Wishing he doesn't get better until next year. Since you are into ripping on GB, I bet Ferguson is back sooner than Sally Moss did with a MINOR hamstring injury. You don't try to deflect a pass after the reciever has position of it for over a second. Even the rest of the Jags were upset. Darius knew that was bull. Too bad he didn't do it to Moss, Moss would probably have missed 4-6 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckbuster11 Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 Re: Robert Ferguson closelined... Yeah that was a garbage cheapshot. As for all the flags, yeah its getting ridiculous. Did anyone see the colts and ravens last night? There was a series were the ravens got illegal contact calls on 4 or 5 straight plays. The thing is though, everyone knows they are calling it more yet I still see guys jamming receivers in the face or shoving them 10 yards down field all the time. If you dont want to get flagged then dont touch them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 Re: Robert Ferguson closelined... First, don't jump on me...I don't want to see anyone get hurt playing a game! With that said, football stinks, the QB's already wear dresses and now we are putting dresses on all the players. I predict by 2010 there will be no more tackling....there will be pro "flag" football. These guys make millions to play a game...I say take off the pads, put up a 20' fence around the field and no refs. Lets play! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markyj987 Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 Re: Robert Ferguson closelined... I was VERY impressed with what the Jaguars brought into Lambeau Field yesterday. That defense is wicked...and I give them credit for beating the Packers in impressive fashion. None of that changes the fact that the hit by Darius was a cheap shot. I like big hits as much as any football fan, but headhunting has no place in the game. He should definitely sit for the rest of the season. About all the flags this year for pass interference...it has gone overboard. There is virtually no more incidental contact in the NFL. The "point of emphasis" as they call it was also supposed to result in offensive pass interference getting called little bit more, but that hasn't happened. I'm not just talking about the Packers either. I expect Al Harris to get a lot of flags just because of his reputation--and I can live with that. But with every game I've watched this year, there's been WAY too much laundry on the field this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billygoat Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 Re: Robert Ferguson closelined... Indeed a cheap shot, just hope Ferge's O.K., have to admit though, Jag's brought their A game and Pack was a definite B or C, can't win games when you lose the turnover battle.

Strut_Buster Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 Re: Robert Ferguson closelined... haha.. i wanna see you go head to head with a 250lb linebacker who can run a 4.5 40 and can prolly break you with his left pinky. The QB position is a real mans postion. I'm a D-End and can say that it takes alot by a good QB to stand in the pocket and take hit after hit after hit and deliver passes. I bet any nasscar "athlete/car driver" would cry like a 3 year old school girl at that spot or even a special teams postion . There is no sport like football, not all people are cut out for it especialy at the pro level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrud Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 Re: Robert Ferguson closelined... I takes quite a special person to run 3 wide at 195 MPH for three hours also. I'm sure they don't feel a thing when hitting the wall at 140 MPH either, eh? I will agree...the QB position is probably requires the most toughness. He is the main focal point on every offense play.

Strut_Buster Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 Re: Robert Ferguson closelined... Mocking* Well those Nasscar drivers get paid millions to race. I think they should pull up their skirts, eliminate saftey harneses and crumples zones in the car. Now that real raceing. Yeah I think they are special all right. But they have no where near the physical capibility as a professional football player. Sorry i can't resist when someone implys that football isn't physical.

Hillbilly Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 Re: Robert Ferguson closelined... WHATTTTTTTTT!!!!!! Strut.... I know you and everyone here has a opinion and I respect yours, but you think that Nascar should eliminate the safety harness??? Why???? If Earnhart had one on he'd be alive right now, but no he's not. Are you saying that football players should not where helmets?? You jsut said that Racers shouldn't wear harnesses??? That's pretty dumb to say that. What skirts on the nascar? They are doing 300mph around a track and some get hit in the wall. And you think they should stop wearing their harnesses?? You think hunters in deer stands shouldn't wear a harness.....? Give me a freakin break.... Bill Jordan wears saftey gear, he might not be a millionaire but he makes good money, you think he should stop using safety measures??? I'm sorry but your saying that Nascar drivers are physicaly capibiltiy as NFL players I think they are. They dont have torn ACL, they might have some metal in their eyes but hey you said yourself they dont need harness maybe thye just dont need their helmets!!! Give me a break dude..... I think Nascar is one of the toughest sports out there, no the number 1 toughest sport out there. I'd soil my pants if I hit a wall going 300mph into a wall, wouldn't you?

You think a football player can do that???? I'd love to see that, heck put that on Pay Per View! I also believe that a nascar driver could get up after a hit/hit/hit. Heck they run into the wall going 300mph... I'd rather take a hit by Urlacher than to smash into a wall. I believe my heart would go out before that. I don't think a linebacker can bull rush a QB at 300mph.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never once said that football wasn't a tough sport...but to take weeks off for turf toe? Honestly, do you think any pro football, baseball, basketball etc... player thinks of getting killed right before a game? Sure some players have died playing the game...but Nascar drivers experience it every time they get into the car. Not just at a race, but even practice and happy hour. And you know, majority of Nascar drivers don't make near the money these other sports pay out. Its hard to compare the two, and since we were discussing football...lets keep it to that. I don't support "headhunting" or "cheap shots", but come on. Can't hit the QB, can't hit the kicker, punter, can't touch a reciever after 5 yards. There is just too many rules on when and where you can hit someone while tackling another player. Lets see some football...not ice skating!!!!!!

Strut_Buster Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 Re: Robert Ferguson closelined... First off I can say for shure you never have had turf toe. I got it durring indoor track season, makes it almost impossible to run. I ran with it at indoor conference and my foot bled durring and after the race, i still pulled out a 4th place, but i can tell you for shure that it hurt worse then running a quarter mile full speed. Running into a person full speed with their leg up high i can say is very vunurable. Happend to our kicker this year and he fractured his schin. Also, the roughing the passer call is very nessiy. Without the rule, lets say Manning throws a strike to wayne, and for instance warren sapp wanted to drill manning who is no longer part of the play, has a free shot. And the 5 yard rule.. .hmm.. what would be the point of the foreward pass if a corner can tackle the reciver downfiled before the ball is thrown. This years new rules are really retarded, maybe should be turned down a notch. But The Patriots last year Beat the Colts in teh AFC championship. They murdered the colts wide outs. Watch the film. Its just rediculous. O yeah.. pse.. i said i was being sarcastic. And if you read the context before that you would see what i was being sarcastic to. And no i would not soil myself hitting a wall at 170 cause I bet i wouldn't even remember it. I would like to see you get hit by urlacher... but the trick is your gotta take it like a man and try not to turn your body to protect yourself. (then you'd break your collar bone) I know i wouldn't wanna be hit by him. Those Nasscar driver are luck to get a bruise after they crash. Football is players are always getting banged up. Nasscar drivers always seem to walk away from crashes. But when to men colide many timesin football one is hurting. Football players aren't more physicaly capable. Ok.. matt kensteth and jeff gordon tag team against John Lynch and Daren Sharper. ****, track athletes in the olympics are more physicaly capable. And yes Snapper, its imposible to compare the two. I used to watch nasscar, but its just nowhere compareable to the intensity or human will of football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
