Re: Brandon Spikes = thug
The flexing show was waaaaaaaay over the top.
Someone should send that to the NFL for a healthy fine to wake him up.
Re: Brandon Spikes = thug
Public enemy #1
but I can promise Bill Belichick is encouraging his team to be as cheap as they want.
Afterall, when a game is officiated the way it was, who cares if they get a few penalties taking "send a message" cheap shots.
It's no different than what Greg Williams in NO was doing...
Re: Brandon Spikes = thug
what i find hilarious about patriot "fans" is that they boo'd the fitz hit. Fitz's helmet came off! and the bills had been tagged with 14 penalties. they had one legitimate nasty hit and they thought they were getting the rough end of the stick? And then earlier the refs begrudingly gave a late hit penalty when fitz was out of bounds and their CB is diving at his leg.
K Williams went for the lower half of brady in the first match up and got 15 yards for a play in the pocket. the refs almost let that go and they even smiled at the CB afterwards with a "we'll get you guys back later"
I bring all this up because i know spikes will not get a fine commiserate to the two head shots he dished out. That CB won't get fined. but i bet you a play none of us evenn remember will be the source of a fine.
The favortism towards the patriots has gotten so absurd at this point that the NFL needs to address is it or the fans should take it into their own hands.
Re: Brandon Spikes = thug
Spikes must have learned from Wilfork, who has been out-done by Suh or else he'd have won the last few of the "Dirtiest Player in the NFL" polls
Re: Brandon Spikes = thug
I wish we had some thugs. Look at the Bears-Texans game last night. The insane secondary talent the Bears have is able to make huge plays because of hard-hitting monsters up front. Guys like JJ Watt for the Texans just beast all over everybody. We just don't have anyone, short of maybe Kyle Williams, who plays with that killer instinct.
Re: Brandon Spikes = thug
Big Difference between killer instinct and thug.
Re: Brandon Spikes = thug
he should be suspended for his actions yesterday, between the hit on fitz, and the demonstration after seeing jackson was injured....
sadly he will likely only be fined.. under $10k is my guess

Why would he be suspended when he's on Goodell's favorite team? Nothing can go wrong in Foxboro when Papa Smurf controls the money!!
He intended to injure numerous players and has seen 0 reconciliation. He will walk away free as I now understand that any team named the "Patriots" is immediately untouchable in America's eyes.
Re: Brandon Spikes = thug
It's got to the point where something needs to be done by the players themselves. Someone like Spikes, simply needs to be completely taken out, by about 4 guys on the O-Line, while Fitz just throws the ball away.
The Pats have been taking cheap shots at Bills players for years now, and something needs to be done to stop it.
I consider them to be a generally 'dirty' team, but they are 'dirty' in the playground bully fashion. there are teams that they won't try it on with, and it's about time the bills made themselves one of those teams. Doing something like I suggested above, would be sending a serious message out to them, that they aren't going to get away with their crap any more. It's all very well for our HC to be a straight shooter, and someoen who wants to be seeing a hard but fair game, but the fact is, it's the players who are getting the rough end of the stick, and they need to do something about it themselves.
Re: Brandon Spikes = thug
He was fined $20 large for his hit on Chandler.
I certainly hope he is facing a suspension... Not for his hit on Fitz, but for his taunting of a head-injured player.
btw... Fitz and Eric Wood are calling Spikes' behavior out.

Everyone would love him if he was in a Bills uniform.

or kill someone... wait... no... that's not the spin the NFL wants to place on it... let me think... "or get involved in a tragic incident and show 'character' growth from it"

disagree. He publicly bashed Buffalo and its fans on twitter he's classless all the way through.
Plenty of players make big hits without taunting injuries and acting like a douche.

Chuck Bednarik...taunting douche for your viewing pleasure.
I'd take Spikes on my team every day of the week.
Re: Brandon Spikes = thug
Is anyone surprised? Same scumbag that tried to gouge someone's eyes out in college.

Re: Brandon Spikes = thug
Also, when he does suffer his career ending injury, I will laugh. He deserves a broken neck for a long career of playing dirty.

No Gibby... if the NFL's commitment to deal with this kind of behavior is real, Spikes will be fined and suspended.
If I were Russ Brandon, I'd be asking the NFL for an investigation into the NE organization as Spikes was allegedly out on the field threatening to injure players.
this is not Bednarik's NFL... Or is it for certain organizations only.
