Ugly end to Seahawks-Jaguars

BigBlue4You09 : 12/10/2017 8:21 pm
Anybody else see this? Started with a dirty late hit by Michael Bennett and continued on into the stands with players throwing trash and a security guard having to hold back a Seahawks player from jumping up.

Michael Bennett seems like a real class act, why did he get a pass for making up the whole Vegas police thing again?
That was like Pro Wrestling

What a spectacle, the Seahawks from their HC all the way down are easy to root against
I saw that.  
cjac : 12/10/2017 8:24 pm : link
Fans were out of line. But I don’t know how the seahawk handlers let him climb halfway up into the stands. I think he’s gonna get fined for threatening fans like that.

Brothers are both trash. They can say and do whatever they want but no one can say or do anything to them. How the nfl took his word in Vegas is mind boggling. The day there both out of the league will be better for all.
Greg Schiano part deux.

Diver_Down : 12/10/2017 8:31 pm : link
It wasn't the only time trash was thrown at Seattle players. When Lockett scored, there was a cup that was thrown. The ref pointed out the culprit, and I presume security took car of it. The final Seattle ejection (I think it was Jefferson?) there was what looked like a hot dog that was thrown. It would have been awesome to see the player get over the railing and watch the fans piss their pants.
The Jags are a frontier justice type

team . Marrone doesn't seem unduly concerned . Their game against the Chargers was one of the filthiest I've seen in years . It was very enjoyable , a welcomed change from watching thr morbidity displayed by the Giants .
Fan behavior has also been atrocious

these f'ers kneel about violence  
mdc1 : 12/10/2017 8:37 pm : link
and do just that against their own colleagues. If NFL was smart and they are not, most of those stadiums have small jails like Philly. Maybe what occurs on the field that is not in the rules should be judged as a police action like the rest of humanity. Punch someone ? Go to jail. That would stop it. Some of these guys in the league belong in jail anyway...Gronk, Bennett, select Bengals and Pittsburgh players.

The fans are absolutely at fault for their behavior. They should be thrown out and issued a trespass. If they are season ticket holders, they should have them revoked.

The Seattle players were definitely at fault. It was bush-league Greg Schiano bullshit with the dirty play. Jax in a victory formation and Seattle is pissed that they got beat.

Not the first time Seattle has pulled that stunt

in victory formation under Carroll. Just go back to the Superbowl loss to the Pats.

Carroll and their organization needs to be fined heavily for today's actions to ensure this never happens again.
Bennett and Seattle are Trash!

Les, please provide a link. Although, it isn't going to far out on the limb to suggest such behavior. The area is known for not being socially progressive regarding race relations. The adjacent county (Baker) has KKK riders depicted in a mural at the county courthouse.
Absolute bullshit. It’s always gotta be about race.  
Keith : 12/11/2017 7:05 am : link
Watch the video, a group of the fans going at Jefferson were black! I’m guessing les read that in YouTube comments and brought it to bbi like it’s legit. Stupid.

No doubt that Les has no source. But I stand by my assertion that it isn't out of the realm of possibility that there were racial epithets said. I watched the game, and yes there were both white and black fans barking at Jefferson.
no surprise

Bennett pulled same crap in super bowl loss to Patriots. During kneel down he shot out and hit Pats linemen, started a fight. piece of crap and a liar to boot.
not sure i buy he was called that

Here's the section he tried to attack. I imagine this guy Jefferson was jawing with would knockout anyone nearby that said that.

didn’t suggest racism was the reason, rather, beer and other stuff being thrown on him.

Gotta be above that, but I get it in part. Fans don’t have a right to do that shit and usually face no reprocussions for doing it.

I hope the fans are issued a trespass barring them from future games. If they are season ticket holders, then the remaining game tickets are revoked and they should be unable to purchase tickets again. In the Jefferson segment, there was security that ended up scaling the rails and enter the crowd. And in the Lockett incident, the ref pointed out the offending fan and I presume security handled it.

It is uncalled for despite the dirty play against the victory formation. But these two teams were brawling all game. Other than 2 blown coverages by the Jags leading to touchdowns, the Jags were beating the crap out of Seattle. There was a lot of jawing, pushing and shoving after the whitle, and plenty of opportunities to call other penalties after the whistle. For being such long suffering franchise, the fans were enjoying the street brawl that was playing out between the lines. I'm not surprised given the opportunity to take a cheap shot (throwing food, etc.) that the mob mentality prevailed.
In one of the articles, teammate jarron reed  
Keith : 12/11/2017 7:48 am : link
claimed fans called him the n word. I’m calling bullshit and this is a pathetic attempt to protect your teammate from a suspension.

1. Clearly the throwing of drinks is what pissed him off.
2. There was a group of black dudes in the mix.
A. Maybe they said it
B. If they heard some one dope saying it, wouldn’t they react?
3. Where was Reed to hear that? Didn’t see him in the area.

Shit like this is counter productive to moving forward as a society. On all levels. The fans for thinking that’s ok. Jefferson for his reaction and reed for this bullshit. Watching this stuff is really frustrating.
Jefferson walking over and attempting to climb into stands  
Jimmy Googs : 12/11/2017 8:00 am : link
to attack fans (i use the word loosely)...was unacceptable behavior. Not to mention the play of the Seattle D-Line trying to purposely hurt Jag players when the outcome was decided.

awful...

There is a difference between sympathy and empathy. I generally don't deploy my finite sympathy resources for rich men who voluntarily make millions of dollars playing a dangerous game. But I can empathize with a player who snaps after being called the n word and having beer and other projectiles tossed at them, after losing a close game. just because a fan pays $100 for a ticket, it doesn't mean they can act however they like without consequences. and if you throw beer on an angry 300 pound + adrenaline fuelled athlete who just lost a close game, you deserve at least the fright of having him come at you.

that said, I fully agree that Richardson and Bennett played dirty and deserved their ejections/fouls.

The "N" word used more and more lately, not so sure that's the case here but

You throw shit at someone? Be ready to pay the price, and if you DO call someone the "N" word? That can have a price too. The people I see and hear use it are cowards, they only say it in a private setting on anonymously on the internet.


Bennett has to answer for his tactics on the field, the asshole that threw shit at him should have to answer too, it would have been funny if Bennett actually got his hands on him..

to the point of the pictures above making it unlikely that the N word was used when he climbed into the stands, the race of the person who allegedly used the N word is not important. if the person who said it was white it's despicable and if it was an African American who said it to one of their own (not out of the realm of possibility given some hip hop lyrics) it's despicable as well.
After seeing the replays  
OlyWABigBlue : 12/11/2017 10:40 am : link
It looks like fans throwing things at Jefferson was the catalyst that started the whole unfortunate incident. The offending fans should enjoy watching the games solely on TV from hereafter and I would think there will be some league involvement for Bennett, Richardson, Jefferson and Jags' security.
Bennet seems like a fool

The one big dude had him held back to a degree, then there was one beer or other drink that whizzed past his head and he'd had enough. That gray-haired guy, no matter how large, wasn't stopping an NFL D-lineman. To his credit, he did manage to pull him down when he tried to scale the wall up into the first rows.
