Not a single Dolphin fan on this board predicted a victory today, but whatever.No, typically there's some bitter homers from other teams who wander in and lower the bar.
You're still a horrific poster.

Driving is dangerous. Would you be more upset if your relative was killed in a crash with a drunk driver, or a situation where someone's reflexes just failed.So now we're concerned with rules and the player's humanity? Got it. If Lippett develops CTE, he can be at easy knowing it was a legal hit.
Moore was stiff-arming? Please.If you make it a 15-yard penalty for the ball carrier to stiff arm a tackling player in the back, more defenders will tackle in a fundamentally sound way, as rugby players do. Until then, players will continue to lead with their head, because proper tackling puts them at a competitive disadvantage (unless you've got a chance to size up a defenseless target, like Earl Thomas did to Gronk).
What's that you say?This steelers team isn't winning next week. Kansas City won't hand turnovers repeatedly like Miami is doing
Proving my point...Not a single Dolphin fan on this board predicted a victory today, but whatever.

Like the Dupree hit on Moore, the Floyd block would've resulted in ejection if CFB's targeting rules applied in the NFL. The ability to deliver a blindside block to the head is by no means an indispensable part of football.I view big hits differently depending on context. A QB to throw a football needs to put himself in a totally exposed position, just like Moore on that second hit. Same with receivers. To do your job in a correct and entertaining way, you are at risk of severe bodily injury. I find this quite different from middle of the field hits by players expecting contact.
Punts and kick offs are a problem too and require protection, because unlike line of scrimmage plays you are making a running start to full contact.
A play like the Floyd play is in a middle area. You set rules, and identify correct technique and zones in the front of the body where you can hit, because it's hard to throw flags for it looks bad without making players unable to play.
So Floyd blind siding a guy was an oopsie, but Dupree's is a akin to murder?Driving is dangerous. Would you be more upset if your relative was killed in a crash with a drunk driver, or a situation where someone's reflexes just failed.

Perhaps Floyd's hit was clean by NFL rules (I'm not sure), but it's at least as dangerous as Dupree's hit was, and much easier to legislate out of the game.
I didn't watch last week, so I can't comment. I'm probably more sensitive to this stuff than most, so I probably wouldn't m like that hit if I'd seen it.So Floyd blind siding a guy was an oopsie, but Dupree's is a akin to murder?
Again, was everyone this concerned about the health of a Dolphin player one week ago or were you excited that he got jacked up?
How hard is it to understand that one was a legal hit, one was illegal?So Floyd blind siding a guy was an oopsie, but Dupree's is a akin to murder?

Put your glasses on, then watch the replay again.Floyd didn't hit him in the head.
It's easy to find on YouTube. Feel free to DM me your thought if you see it.I didn't watch last week, so I can't comment. I'm probably more sensitive to this stuff than most, so I probably wouldn't m like that hit if I'd seen it.
