The team rushing the Bengals sidelines

[tay0365]

First off, players need to be smarter, and show more control, if that had been the Chiefs/Patriots/Raiders/Bills, those ejections would have severely hurt us.

Now, here comes probably the unpopular opinion...Good for the team to have Grants back, to show you attack one of us, you attack all of us.

Thats what a united team does...That's what a tough team does...That's what a championship team does of not allowing anyone to bully them or their teammates... Including how the Defense in the next few series became extremely scary, you could tell they were also sending a message.

Again, the throwing punches, instigating, or allowing into being instigated into doing something stupid like pushing or throwing a punch is a huge NoNo, but rushing up to the line of the opponant and making a point that they will not be intimidated, are united, and will not stand for cheapshots...Awesome in my book.

Brandon Allen probably wished the scuffle didnt happen. he got the worst of it.

our defense was flat out murdering people after that incident.

 

[Joe Dolfan]

Players need to be smarter? Flores was the first man on the field that wasn't involved in the play.

Then again, did you see how he pulled his mask up over his nose to avoid a fine? That tells me he was posturing to fire up the team. He wasn't as out of control as you'd suspect from a guy charging the field, when he shouldn't be on it.

This really any kind of issue? We want smarter, but you don't want a team to continue target and hurt your players. I loved what Flores and the team did. The Bengals CELEBRATED their dirty plays. If the league had any guts they'd fine suspend more Bengals.
The Dolphins are one of the most disciplined teams in the league. I'll take this one.

loved the move byFlo and the players to stand up Jakeem

 

[multistage]

You really think Flo and the boys charging into the field, ready for battle, will be an unpopular opinion???

Whole damn team showed heart. Philbin would’ve mailed a “No hard feelings” postcard to Cincy...

[raving]

This was 100 percent the refs!

they let the game get out of control!

80 should have been rejected on the first hit....

the nfl needs help with reffing and rules! Worst part of the game week in and week out across the league!

Soccer style yellow and red cards to players/ especially flagrant roughing and unsportsmanlike rules need warnings and send offs...problems would diminish fast....

 

[finmann]

Hell of a way to stand up for a teammate...as far as charging the field......they are young.

I have no problem with what Coach Flores did...Grant could have very easily been taken out on a stretcher or cart on that play.

Flores does that after the 1st hard hit...Bad.

Flores goes out there and starts a fight, or throwing punches...bad.

Flores goes out there yelling there is something very wrong with his player getting destroyed twice, and moving his mask to make sure he's understood...No problem at all.

Might he get fined...Probably, but that's the decision he made, and to that I yell very hard...BRAVO!!!

 

[Eggiweggs]

I have no problem with the team reacting the way they did. Players got one anothers backs/players got coaches back/coach got players backs. I think it is just more proof that we are building something special here.

 

[Travis34]

I am totally fine with how it played out, especially considering we won the game. The bengals were out of control and i loved the team coming to back up jakeem

 

[Travis34]

I am curious what happened to the bengals coach on the ground, if Parker really knocked him out I’d guess he could get a suspension?

 

[Bumpkin]

Personally I loved seeing that reaction from Coach Flo. Calculated maybe, but he let every player in the NFL know he has his players back. Could you imagine being on the opposite side of that. To see the opposing coach come out to your side of the field and call out a dirty play. Call out your leaders. I would bet there will be some players that have their agents reach out to Miami just for that play.

 

[Finuk]

I loved it. True team spirit doesn't come easily. I want to see the players have each others back- Flo's reaction was even better. That right there is a leader of men.

A friend of mine who lives in Dallas and supports the Cowboys was lamenting that there was barely any reaction to the cheap shot that took out Dalton. They were concerned for him, but not angry.
