October 20, 200817 yr I'm not sure where the debate comes from after watching it a few more times. Ward ducks his head, and vaults the crown of his helmet at Rivers head. Ward plays hard, and he plays the game "old school". That will determine where you stand on him either way...
October 20, 200817 yr Chad Uno weighs in.... "I'm mad about Keith getting hurt," Ocho Cinco said. "I don't think (it was a cheap shot). The play is going on; players are going after the ball, a crackback block, which is what it is called. You have to have your head on a swivel at some point." I'm surprised that Chad knows what it is called.
October 20, 200817 yr Final. :dancingpa :dancingpa :dancingpa :dancingpa For what it's worth isn't celebrating a victory over the Bengals this season like celebrating beating a man with no arms or legs in a kickboxing match?
October 20, 200817 yr Ward ducks his head, and vaults the crown of his helmet at Rivers head. Which is where the play turns dirty. That is dangerous and now our first round pick is hurt for the year. Hmmm, I wonder why Bengals fans are upset?
October 20, 200817 yr Which is where the play turns dirty. That is dangerous and now our first round pick is hurt for the year. Hmmm, I wonder why Bengals fans are upset? Maybe that's why they're upset. Because if it was some 7th round pick I doubt Bengal fans would be crying foul.
October 20, 200817 yr Can you believe that they turned down a 1st and 3rd rd. pick for OhNo!Crisco! ? How far would that have gone to improving the future for the Bengals? (assuming you didn't spend them on more receivers) and also addition by subtraction IMO by removing Johnson. Listening to the post game on the way home, a good point was made,,,,,remember what happened when the Bengals got rid of Pickens (a cancer in the locker room),,,they got better. I also know that Chad is not the source of all of the Bengal woes, but in hindsight, how nice would those picks be? Most of the people that call the pre/post game shows are absolute morons. It took the Bengals 4 seasons to reach .500 after releasing Pickens, letting him go did nothing but clean the locker room a bit, it didn't make them better.
October 20, 200817 yr Maybe that's why they're upset. Because if it was some 7th round pick I doubt Bengal fans would be crying foul. It sure doesn't help. It's dirty either way, but I guess that's just me.
October 20, 200817 yr Author Hmmm, I wonder why Bengals fans are upset? Because the Bengals are 0-7...
October 20, 200817 yr Because the Bengals are 0-7... I've stated the obvious reasons why I'm upset about the hit. I'd be upset about it if we were 7-0.
October 20, 200817 yr I absolutely hate Hines Ward but that was a quality hit, glad to see someone here wants his career ended because of that... sad.
October 20, 200817 yr I'm not sure where the debate comes from after watching it a few more times. Ward ducks his head, and vaults the crown of his helmet at Rivers head. Ward plays hard, and he plays the game "old school". That will determine where you stand on him either way... I see it completely differently. It looked like he just lowered his body down to use his shoulder, if he wanted it to be helmet to helmet that hit could have ended ten times worse for Rivers...
October 20, 200817 yr I'm not a Bengals fan or hater, so my "unbiased" opinion is that it was just a good, hard block - nothing dirty. Ward is a player that is going to ring your bell anytime he can before the whistle blows. He plays the game hard and he is old school. Its unfortunate that he injured the guy, but that didn't seem to be his intention.
October 20, 200817 yr Crown of the helmet on chinstrap from the blindside is dirty in my book no matter who does it. Hit him in the chest and it's the same thing except Rivers is still playing. Oh well, I've made my thoughts known. The thing that bothers me most is no Bengal stepping up for his teammate.
