AFCN Hate Guide

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

The hit on Huber was actually legal - A little fucked up in some ways, but he was parallel with Huber and Huber was in position to at least try to make a tackle.

Ward's hit on Rivers was dirty as hell. Ward was a great player, but he played dirty.

I think both were dirty TBH... Garvin's hit might have been textbook/legal, but it was unnecessary. He launched into the upper chest, leading with the crown into the guy's jaw... And on a specialist he could have easily just put a shoulder into and erased him from the play.

Ward was indeed a dirty hitter. He wanted to be a tone setter and he achieved it many times over. Defenders hated him, and rightfully so. I do love a physical game, and pound for pound not many people could lay the lumber quite like him, let alone a WR dishing out that much pain. He would have been suspended many times over in todays NFL.

Honestly - Ward was just the offensive version of Burfict....

Guys you hated on other teams, but if they were on your team - you loved the intensity they played with. Unfortunately for Burfict, his career interceded with the new rules coming into play with player safety. He would have thrived in the 80's and 90's - hell up until about right when he came into the league. Talk about some bad timing.

I wouldn’t go that far. I don’t recall Ward stomping, punching or spitting on people. Ward let his pads do the talking.

I always hold my breath while watching those Bengals vs Steelers bloodbaths in the mid-2010’s because I knew both teams were gonna lose at least one key player. It was pretty bad.

Fair enough - just meant - inbetween the lines/plays - they both took it just past the line.

Now, Burfict had a penchant for the after the play stuff, which Ward did not...but before the whistle....

Definitely a distinction, but I see your point.

This was another example of Ward's style of crossing the line:

Ward was really smart. He knew that putting guys heads on a swivel would ultimately slow them down. But I agree, he would never get away with this stuff now - He'd be suspended more than he would be active.

Burfict was so frustrating. He was an amazing football player that didn't need all of the after the whistle stuff. Hell, even in the playoff game that he ultimately fucked up, the Bengals aren't in that game if Burfict isn't on the field making huge plays. Just a frustrating experience with him again and again.

Watson is making this way too easy for 75% of AFCN fans.

"Mason Rudolph got so concussed from this that his brain went back to normal"

Right after that I should correct him.

"From other teams in the AFC North don't like him"
to
"ALL Teams in the AFC North don't like him"

Seriously though it is amazing how some shitty backup QB can be hated by every team and even the one he plays for.
