Nickell Robey-Coleman and Rams (1 Viewer)

[Kris]

Nickell Robey-Coleman made the right choice. A choice that I would want any Saints defender to make in most cases. He had been getting away with minor muggings all game without any calls. He saw he was beaten and stopped a possible touchdown by committing a deliberate penalty. I would want a Saints DB or safety to do the same thing in most circumstances.
The Rams played a very good football game. Nickell Robey-Coleman nor the Rams are the bad guy here. The bad guy is the NFL controlling the games with officiating.
The fact that Nickell Robey-Coleman wasn't penalized is not his fault. The NFL had been working to get the Rams into the Super Bowl for monetary reasons (it is what makes the world go around). The Saints were spoiling that plan starting with the Philly game they were not supposed to win. Then when they were winning the Rams game at the end of the third quarter the bias got much worse. when they had the nerve to still be winning inside two minutes they had to commit obvious calls, including in the OT, to make sure the right team won. The NFL is the problem starting with Godell (SIC) and the owners trying to increas profits at the expense of the game.

The only thing that would get me to stick with the NFL is for them to fire Goodell, the refs, and announce a change in direction starting with the new leadership to restore integrity to the game.

I'm not mad at Robey-Coleman, I'm mad at the refs, and at the NFL.

Meanwhile this board goes bonkers when the likes of Browner, Harris, and Crawley are holding guys to prevent the reception.

Look, Robey-Coleman trying to prevent the reception isn't unexpected in football but we actually don't have to be cool with a guy lowering his head to make helmet-to-helmet contact on a defenseless receiver to prevent the reception.

It's the worst no-call precisely because it was such a flagrant foul. And then he brags about it and talks trash on social media? Nah.

I didn't say I liked Nickell Robey-Coleman, I just said that I understand why a DB would deliberately commit pass interference to stop a touchdown and that it is the right choice to take the penalty. The bragging and other crap is just that he is no class. He still made the right decision. The helmet to helmet was a result of desperation more than an attempt to injure. Yes, he "got off" on how hard he hit. Lot's of NFL players do.

The Rams did play a good game, almost good enough to win. The Bias helped, but they did play well and recognized that the officials were letting them (Rams) play.

We can be just as pissed at the dude named after pocket change as we are at the officials for the cheap shot he took to break up the play. That wasn't just committing interference to prevent the TD. That was taking a kill shot that could have concussed Lewis or worse. They're not mutually exclusive.

The helmet to helmet was a result of desperation more than an attempt to injure.

According to him, he was trying to knock Lewis out and "got him onto the turf like a frying pan" or something unintelligible that he slurred through in his facebook post a day or two after the game celebrating his cheap shot and getting away with it.

 

[DavidM]

I think we all understand why he did it. I'm not saying he should have stood there with his hands on his hips and watched Lewis haul in a pass on his way to the endzone.

This wasn't just interference to prevent the reception. I mean, I think we can all understand why an OL who lost leverage might dive at a defensive player's knee to prevent a tackle, too, right? But it still leaves a bad taste.

Yeah, I pretty much agree with you. I don't have a problem with them for the most part, although I have a historical dislike for the Rams. My issue is with Refs and the NFL, especially Goodell.

That said, I hope we beat the pants off of them this coming season.

 

[CRESS_137]

He made a choice to spear TLL in the head. Karma is a cruel mistress, and I hope she is swift and merciless to him. He has doubled down on it by acting like a jackass.

 

[Sev705]

No. He didnt make the best choice. If anything, that was the worst possible outcome if the refs decide to do any part of their job.
