2021 Sugar Bowl - Ohio State vs Clemson 7PM on ESPN

[MrPhlegm 3413]

that targeting was a pussy call

[clapclapclap 9000]

Someone's about to get the magic needle.

[Zepol87 9168]

Can't believe he went back in. Damn

on 3rd down and within 2 yards of the line to gain? Nah

Fair enough there but he’s been doing it all night. Took a pretty gnarly hit to his knee running down the sidelines earlier.
 

There’s a reason Cam Newton is a shell of himself at this point.

Serious question: how do you tackle anyone anymore ?

Well, stop hitting people with your helmet for starts.

Unless they inject Fields with painkillers and Moxin doesn’t stop it, the backup will play the 2nd half and we’ll have us a game. We shall see

Trey Sermon would like to have a word with you.

[MirrOlure 14617]

Please tell me how that's "clear targeting". What did 47 do that he shouldn't have done? Try to make a play on the ball carrier?

Lead with the crown of his helmet. Literally a rules violation and confirmed in ten seconds of looking at replay

[Macklemore 2871]

To be called spearing he would have had to launch himself at Fields.

[DaysOff 7843]

Fields absolutely just felt some pieces of rib rub up on his organs. Dude does not feel good.

Gonna rub an organ on wife ribs later. Or something like that.

[Horn80 6075]

Fields probably got cracked ribs.

[956 Worldwide 34410]

Spearing has not been acceptable tackling technique for years, it’s a good way to cause a traumatic spinal injury to yourself. Even if you’re leading with your shoulder, head up. Face mask aimed at the numbers.

Assuming he's healthy this spring...

If Fields somehow stays in this game and wins, he'll get drafted #2 in the 2021 NFL Draft !!!

He got blasted...

That’s the problem. Todd Blackledge should be color commentator on the A team.

Same as the last century, eyes up with the face mask NOT the crown of your helmet...

 

[SnowAggy 154]

Jesus Fucking Christ.  Tackling is now illegal in football.  What's the point anymore...?

He needed to have his head up, or at least lead with the shoulder.

Well, it's much, much better to have your head up as it lessens the chance you spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair.  But you can't plan for all contingencies with 1 second of prep time.  Fields spun into him.

 

Whatever.  the game goes on.

Brilliant, KO catch, btw.

[JMFP 1117]

That was a perfect tackle. That's how tackles are made. You don't fucking throw your head back to make a tackle. The targeting to the head I totally get. But to the body? Fuck that. 

You were taught to tackle with your head down like that? My coach would chew your ass and sit you the rest if the game if we lead in with our head down. Great way to hurt yourself.

[Hmbre97 6297]

What a dumbfuck. Just lost 10 yards not letting that go out of bounds.

That was not spearing. Jesus. Not even close. He led with his shoulder and Fields twisted into the hit.

It absolutely was

[Fudge Nuggets 19144]

Clemson is on dope. 
 

[Slacks 6791]

So... Not liking the way targeting is calles does not make it not targeting.

As a player who speared regularly, because that's how we were taught, I would have hit Fields exactly like that... it would look like I was leading with a shoulder... I would tried to put his ribs on the other side of his spine... And gotten ejected...

[Guadaloopy 10917]

Fields about to find out what it’s like to piss blood.

Try to keep him out.

Exactly. Hard to say no if he tells you he can go. Curious to see what he does from here and if his ribs were broke.

[Slacks 6791]

It’s not targeting.  It was technically  spearing, but would never be called in real time.  Replay sucks.  

I called it instantly... In real time.

this.  the rule makes it impossible to tackle at the waist.  If Fields doesn't stay down they keep playing an its never reviewed.

He had his head down. That's what the rule is designed to discourage. See your target.

Because Fields spun into him like a jackass.

I won't argue that (even though Herbie does not bother me that much). But your A team is doing this game. No matter if Herbie is a blow hard Ohio St fan. Joe Buck does Cardinals baseball games and he is a die hard Cardinals fan.

Yes but Does it even matter. Bama wins

[lemonandaturd 4285]

See what you hit and hit what you see.  Head up or risk getting your neck pushed down to your asshole. 

[Stunns38 3357]

Trey Sermon would like to have a word with you.

Try breathing with cracked ribs. I just hope it isn’t too severe.

[sidis 9731]

It is really starting to look like one team has played five fewer games this year than the other. 

[DaysOff 7843]

Ohio State v Bama?

Will the money wait

[Helobious 9480]

This game is over, Ohio State is going to run away with this. Fields will get shot up with painkillers at half and keep on humming.

Technically that wasn't spearing, which lacks arm involvement.  Still hitting with the helmet first and primarily, which has always been frowned upon.

[BurntOrange&White 39566]

Clemson is definitely missing Tony Elliott

Osu hanging they balls on dabos chin. Guess we have to wait until the 12th for urban.

If he had had his head up it wouldn't have been an issue.

[Funk Doctor Spock 11918]

Ohio State playing pissed off. They really took what Dabo said to heart. I feel sorry for them if they win because Bama is gonna maul that defense. 

[mdmost 42827]

Is Skalski a distant cousin of Bill Romanowski? 

[taybo20 2815]

Just now, ztejas said:

Yeah but the onus is in the defender. If his head was up, no penalty regardless of the spin or not

[Vic Mackey 46927]

If Fields is hurt and can't go next week or is not close to full strength, then I will root for Clemson to win this. I do not want to see Bama play against a backup QB.

Look at the reverse view. Crown of helmet is first thing that contacts Fields. I have treated 3 players for fracture dislocations after tackles like that. 2 were permanent quads one recovered

This. If we want to save football, these types of hits have to be eliminated from the game to the extent possible.
