Richard Seymour gets tossed for slap
 

Seymour gets a chance to do something that millions of Americans would kill for. Needless to say we have now confirmed that Seymour's pimp hand is indeed among the strongest in the NFL:

Quite an emotional game it is.

I know. Funny thing is in Hockey you might get two minutes. In football you get two games. Alright it's really five minutes but lets just focus on the two minute instigator penalty. Makes for a nicer parallel.

He really should call in sick for mid-season Steeler games. They always end up being his downfall.

I dont remember any QB that is worse against a 3-4

Re: Richard Seymour gets tossed for slap
 

Haha, Rapistberger isn't liked too much.

Re: Richard Seymour gets tossed for slap
 

WHy did Seymour get tossed? Call a penalty/ fine him later but to toss him out over that is obsurd- what about the fans. Thats a bullshit call, Ben is ok- he was wearing a helmet. Why can you not slap somone in their helmet but you can run full speed and hit the shit out of them??? IDK.

It was a push/slap

Re: Richard Seymour gets tossed for slap
 

Ha...he deserved it. Just like when that idoit talked sh*t to Blount in the Boise vs Oregon game. You gonna talk sh*t be prepared for consequences or just keep your mouth shut.

Re: Richard Seymour gets tossed for slap
 

to me big ben got in his face to talk shit and deserved to get slapped

Ben deserved it for sure but the rule in the NFL is throw a punch and you get tossed...now if he punched and continued to grab his facemask like a lot of players do he wouldn't have been tossed.

Re: Richard Seymour gets tossed for slap
 

Ben is the typical punk-ass chump. He can manhandle a woman, but when he's up against a man his weak ass lays on the ground. Good for Seymour.

Re: Richard Seymour gets tossed for slap
 

Like everyone is saying, Ben is a dick. I would be pissed, but not surprised if Ben gets nothing. He clearly instigated and deserves it.

Re: Richard Seymour gets tossed for slap
 

I don't care for Roethlisberger, but on the field of play trash talking is part of the game. You can either use it to set the tone of a blowout with an 88 yard completion for a TD to start the game...or you can slap the trash talker and get tossed.

Re: Richard Seymour gets tossed for slap
 

[quote=skinsfaninok;761331]JC Benched again[/quote]

yeah, good for him that Al wants him to start.

Re: Richard Seymour gets tossed for slap
 

Ben claims all he said was lets get ready for the extra point. I'm sure that's what he said I mean this guys credentials are unimpeachable!! He knows he said something to incite that but he can't admit to it because he has to protect his "image" what a D-bag. Too bad he wears a helmet when riding his Motorcycle now

Re: Richard Seymour gets tossed for slap
 

I have zero problems with Seymour getting booted. He was scuffling with someone earlier in the game too, so you have to guess he already had his warning. Plus you just can't go to the head on a guy, especially a QB.

I agree with this. The only thing I can add is the first time I saw it, I laughed, and had very little sympathy for Big Ben.

Re: Richard Seymour gets tossed for slap
 

BR is a douche, yeah I don't really care about him getting slapped either.

Do QBs really deserve the special consideration that they are getting right now? I totally agree with making sure they don't go helmet to helmet on them or hit em low, but in the Eagles Colts game either Cole or Parker grazed Mannings head with his hand and a 15 yard penalty was called, then yesterday someone was called for landing on the QB with all of his weight? What is that? Your telling a defensive player they have to tackle the QB then roll in midair and let them land on you?

I agree with these new rules on hitting to try to extend players careers and their health after their careers are over but sometimes with QBs they want other players to basically play touch football. Its also why I am against an 18 game schedule.

Re: Richard Seymour gets tossed for slap
 

QBs have always gotten special treatment, nothing new.

Re: Richard Seymour gets tossed for slap
 

Yeah guess that's true. I tend to like defense more than offense so I guess I am biased.

Re: Richard Seymour gets tossed for slap
 

Here's some footage of the slap...

We are talking about Ben.

Hahaha I remember how long and hard I laughed at that when I saw it for the first time...still damn funny.

Re: Richard Seymour gets tossed for slap
 

seymour should get fined and ejected from the game for throwing an open handed punch.

They can land on the QB its driving them into the ground that they flag.

trying reading the thread again, at some point people were questioning why Seymour got booted

Re: Richard Seymour gets tossed for slap
 

I thought the helmet ripping incident by Babin (****ing punk) on Lichtensteiger was worse. I'm sure he'll get fined.

thats exactly what i thought of. Blount knocked that guy out and he deserved it, Roethlisberger was being an idiot and I woulda done the same thing.
