Mike Zimmer says Stafford cheated on late hit by Barr

[RobBase]

You guys see this?

Linebacker Anthony Barr had been penalized on Sunday for hitting quarterback Matthew Stafford out of bounds, and Zimmer criticized Barr for the hit on Monday, calling the play a "dumb penalty." But Zimmer said an official told him Tuesday the play should not have been called a penalty and added, "I probably owe Anthony Barr an apology.

"These quarterbacks now, they're starting to slow down as they go out of bounds and kind of egging these things on," Zimmer said. "That was one of the things [the official] talked about and he said, 'Yeah, it probably should not have been called.'"

Stafford egged on Barr to cheap shot him by not sprinting into the stands? That's the Vikings story?

Here's Zimmer talking about it.

Anthony Barr's 'dumb penalty' probably shouldn't have been a penalty

And here's Mike Zimmer talking about the time he found some Indian arrow heads on his farm.

Mike Zimmer also said Phil Rivers is one of the best QBs of all time.

And I don't mind getting paid in eggs.

We still lost by two scores and (GOD)ell himself won't make the Lions 1-1......So it's a non story.

I saw an article today where the writer said this same BS. I'd have to see it again but I didn't see where Stafford saw Barr to slow down for him. Even more so, what the fuck does it matter if he slowed down? He was a yard or 2 out of bounds.

Just want to state, Staff doesn't need to try and get 15yarders by slowing up. Just take what he can get, unless it's fourth down and we're losing. Still doesn't need to slow up. Dive, slide or run to the sideline.

That's how you get lit the fuck up.

 

[Win TWINS!!!]

I get what Zim is saying. Still didn't like Barr shoving Stafford like that, though. Gotta be smarter.

Lions were never gonna win at that point. Rodney Harrison is right.

I prefer chickens first, then eggs. Thats just how I roll.

The Rooster came before both of them. ;-)

 

[broncosmitty]

Which came first, the chicken or the egg?


I ate the chicken, n then I ate his leg.

Maybe if you see him going out of bounds, there's no need to try and tackle him...

Trust in Rod.

That cheap shot doesn't happen if Suh is a Lion. They'd have to hide Teddy in the basement.

Or at least Ravioli. It was the 1 thing he was good for. He would take out a guys knee without batting an eyelash.
