As a Giants fan, it never crosses my mind.

However, the fact that ***** tried to replicate the Patriot Way here, set the team back a few years.

Glad to see Chiefs' fans got rid of Pioli.

Pats goose is cooked barring bullshit refs.

This is so sweet right now.

Flacco stepping up bigtime.

It is a foul if a player initiates unnecessary contact against a player who is in a defenseless posture. So, a receiver attempting to catch a pass; or who has completed a catch and has not had time to protect himself or has not clearly become a runner, that's a defenseless posture.

Report: Matt Ryan has sprained AC joint
Posted by Josh Alper on January 20, 2013, 8:36 PM EST


The season came to a painful end for Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan in more ways than one.

The Falcons blew a 17-point lead on their way to a 28-24 loss to the 49ers and Ryan wound up with an injury to his left shoulder. Ryan got crushed by 49ers linebacker Ahmad Brooks as the Falcons futilely tried to retake the lead late in the fourth quarter and looked to be in a fair amount of pain for the rest of the game.

Adam Schefter of ESPN originally reported that Ryan would have an MRI Monday to determine the extent of the injury to his shoulder or collarbone, but offered up an update a short time later with more information. Per Schefter, Ryan has a sprained AC joint in the left shoulder and the team is waiting to see if an MRI is necessary. For now, they believe no surgery will be needed.

Even with plenty of time to heal up, missing out on any serious injury is a small silver lining for the Falcons as they start their offseason. An offseason that could include a new contract for Ryan.

rice might be the best player out there lol

but clearly it isn't rigged otherwise they wouldn't call that HUGE penalty in a game in which they are losing..

right?

“It is a foul if a player initiates unnecessary contact against a player who is in a defenseless posture.
(a) Players in a defenseless posture are: [. . .]
(2) A receiver attempting to catch a pass; or who has completed a catch and has not had time to protect himself or has not clearly become a runner. If the receiver/runner is capable of avoiding or warding off the impending contact of an opponent, he is no longer a defenseless player;
[. . .]
(b) Prohibited contact against a player who is in a defenseless posture is:
(1) Forcibly hitting the defenseless player’s head or neck area with the helmet, facemask, forearm, or shoulder, regardless of whether the defensive player also uses his arms to tackle the defenseless player by encircling or grasping him; and
(2) Lowering the head and making forcible contact with the top/crown or forehead/”hairline” parts of the helmet against any part of the defenseless player’s body.”

Ravens need points on the board here first, though.
