Bad injury in the Steelers-Bengals game tonight

[F4Gary]

Steelers linebacker Ryan Shazier with a back injury. Steve Young said he was 10 feet away and could see that Shazier could not move his lower body.
Hope he is OK.

Looked very bad.

Been an ugly game. Shazier never moved his legs - let's hope it's temporary.

 

[F4Gary]

I don't understand the refs no calling those 2 subsequent targeting calls. Those 2 should be suspended for 1 game.

 

[BelemNole]

Are the rules the same in the pros?

 

[F4Gary]

I don't know, but Gruden said the Steeler that taunted after the hit should have been ejected.

 

[PoopandBoogers]

Had the game on, but didnt see the play. They did zoom in on Vince Williams and he was visibly crying.

 

[EconSean]

Reports are that he does have feeling in his legs.

No, there is no targeting in the NFL.

 

[DFSNOLE]

Ju-Ju and the Bengals DB received a 1 game suspension for their hits. I think Smith-Schuster's was more due to the result of the hit than the hit itself.

 

[Nolomite]

JuJu for the hit on Burfict, and Iloka for the endzone hit on Antonio Brown

Karma

 

[BelemNole]

Crazy that they got the same punishment as gronk

Which do you think was lacking?

Ju-Ju should have been fined, that’s it. Don’t understand the suspension and CERTAINLY don’t understand them weighing this and Gronk’s actions similarly.

Standing over the player down and taunting him while he could be seriously injured was despicable. Hope this kid (youngest player in NFL) realizes what a crappy thing he did and becomes a better man. I hope karma gets him, maybe someone can steal his bike or something.

Ju-ju should have been penalized. That's it. He hit him with a shoulder, never launched. Hit in the end zone one game. Gronk - I don't know what the hell that was. Should be out multiple games.

Yeah. I agree with that. Ju Ju made a football play and was penalized due to the outcome. If Burfect gets up, nothing happens.
Gronk was just plain dirty.

 

[EconSean]

How was Iloka’s suspension overturned and Ju-Ju’s stands?

 

[DFSNOLE]

How was Iloka’s suspension overturned and Ju-Ju’s stands?

Because Antonio Brown got up and Burfect was carted off.

 

[EconSean]

Because Antonio Brown got up and Burfect was carted off.

But Iloka is a repeat offender and Ju-Ju has no history. Just doesn’t make sense to me. Three vastly different plays (Gronk’s included) with no apparent rhyme or reason for the similar penalties.

PS thanks for editing my post. I didn’t realize that “shorthand” like I used was verboten.

I agree it makes zero sense. The inconsistency with which the NFL imposes penalties is definitely an issue.
