And yet the flagrant foul on Shedeur Sanders doesn’t even draw a foul let alone an ejection

dezinerd.bsky.social•204 days ago

Probably gonna get a hefty fine too

nickddl.bsky.social•204 days ago

That was a punk ass unnecessary hit.

antho82.bsky.social•204 days ago

Suspend him for a year

banderhoos.bsky.social•204 days ago

Cheap shot.

jayrichardson15.bsky.social•204 days ago

That idiot should get a four game suspension. Lawrence was clearly giving himself up in a slide.

lkerby.bsky.social•204 days ago

There needs to be a new type of penalty for major penalties like this. Like the 5-minute major in hockey, or a red card in soccer (where the player is not replaced).

And the police came in with pepper spray....no? Only Ohio police gets to playact Kent State National Guard?

They just don't build QBs like they used to. They are more fragile than kickers and punters tbh.

I know this site is pretty young, but congrats on leading the pack in dumbest post ever!

It was a clearly dirty hit on a defenseless player. It's a 250 pound man putting his full weight into your face while running full speed, and you have nothin stopping or defending against the hit. Imagine a pro baseball player swinging a bat into the side of your head.

Imagine if he did that to Lamar...in Baltimore... It's likely that the Houston player would be seeing some version of Omar from The Wire approaching the team bus...

Offsetting penalties and offsetting ejections is not going to end this.

CJ Stroud is going to have a very rough 2nd half, I would guess.

q-o-lina.bsky.social•204 days ago

Offsetting penalties is so dumb

2-hotty.bsky.social•204 days ago

Al-Shaair is dirty as hell. Remember when he punched a Bears player on the sideline who wasn't even in the play? That was...check notes...this year.

Dude needs to take the rest of the season off.

thegregjensen.bsky.social•204 days ago

An ugly hit worthy of a penalty and a fine, but Lawrence definitely needs to learn how to start his slide just a little earlier. The defense is at such a disadvantage in this situation.

cnpgh.bsky.social•204 days ago

Just a total scumbag move. Needs to be suspended for multiple games.

ntibs.bsky.social•204 days ago

Yeah I would have him sit the season. This can't be tolerated

hiiamclint.bsky.social•204 days ago

Flat out dirty and borderline assault. Sick and I hope the NFL takes a look at what the NHL has done with suspensions on dirty hits and takes it to the extreme. Guy shouldn't see the field until 2025

clemsondid.bsky.social•204 days ago

fine his stupid @$$.

fambam.bsky.social•204 days ago

Uncalled for

theathletic.bsky.social•204 days ago

Trevor Lawrence was ruled out for the rest of the game with a concussion, while Jaguars fans showered Al-Shaair with garbage as he attempted to exit after being ejected.

Defend the innocent prosecute the guilty

craftbeerdad.bsky.social•204 days ago

He needs to be suspended for a long time
