Harrison should have been ejected...

[vick1000]

...before his INT of Gerard. But he was not flagged for the second late hit out of bounds, they put it on #22 who made the tackle in bounds. This is what we have to look forward to if we beat the Colts. Late hits, illegal chop blocks, cloths-lines on edge rushers, and who knows what else. All so the NFL's Golden Boy won't be denide his "destiny". What a disgrace to football to let Harrison stay on the field while playing like that.

Not that the Jags would have won, but what are we teaching our kids?

[vick1000]

Really I could not care less about the win, I would rather get revenge for last year. But to allow a player to do that is a disgrace to the league, he should have been ejected.

[DFerg60]

Rodney was a great Charger and even back then known as a dirty player always leading the league in the amount of money he paid in fines. I can't think of any True Charger fan who wouldn't want him on our team even to this day...That one play wouldn't have made any difference in the outcome of the game. Although you have to give the Jags some props for not giving up they had no chance against the Pats. We need to worry about the Colts...if and only if we win we can focus on reversing history from last year by sending the highest seeded team, the Pats, home as they did to us last year.

[Tinybad69]

Harrison was personally given 2 personal fouls, the 3rd was accredited to #22, whoever he is. 2 pf in a game is bad enough, but 3 should lead to some kind of expulsion. Even if just from the immediate game being played..Even my wife, who watches the NFL, but isnt 100% on the rules said his hits were late and cheap. The safety of the players come to mind for myself first and foremost, luckily no one got hurt, and thats a plus, but to have multiple 15 yrd penalties in a game is not acceptable. Rodney is a seasoned pro, by now he should know when to let off, albeit I believe the Chargers gave him up for that one reason, too many PF on him....If one defensive lineman committed 3 PF on Brady tonight, well, im sure 90% of the world woulda called for his head. Yes, the playoffs are way more intense then the regular season, they mean so much more, but also, players need to remember the rules of the game, and by all means, not hurt/main/disable anyone unnecessarily. I hope the NFL looks into this...not to necessarily penalize, but to make sure the players are being safely watched after...Heaven forbid Tom Douch...eerr Brady takes a cheap shot on a late hit....

[B-Lightning]

Yeah and brady should be suspended for ..... im sure you guys will think of something. Im sure if Rodney was a bolt and did the same thing, everyone would be crying about the BS refs who called the penalty on innocent Rodney.

[RAWDOGG]

Letting Rodney go was a HUGE mistake

OK , not sure about the last few words there but I'm assuming you like Rodney.

I was always a Fan of his ................Perfect Safety in the NFL , Tough , Nasty , Hit's like a Freight Train and geniunely Scares opponents.

He was even nastier when he was with us.

[Dojo]

Not at the time my friend. He was running like a DE when we let him go. He went to the Patriots and gained 10 pounds and a couple seconds on his 40. It was either the change of scenery or the HGH. Either way you want to cut it he WAS crap when we let him walk. I mean, we got Kwame Lassiter! lol.

[jackfrost]

I wouldn't argue with ya on that one "B".............

[Dojo]

I second that notion. He was just plain dirty and intimidating before his 3 consecutive knee injuries. The guy just keeps bouncing back.

Yep, if you want to catch it hes going to make you pay.

He is dirty theres no question about that but you need a player like that on your team and i think we have another one up and coming in Brandon Meriweather our first round pick, he has a real nasty streak to and hes getting better every week and getting more playing time.

[jackfrost]

Yeah , can't say I've seen to much of Merriweather this year , but I do remember plenty on this Board were keen to pick him up at Draft time.

Harrison reminds a lot of Ronnie Lott "Back in the Day'.....................now you talk about "Scaring People" , Lott was "Crap in your Pant's" Scary !!!

[DDMALO]

Yeah Merriweather looks to be living up to his U of Miami legacy of waving guns at people and playing dirty. He comes in on nickel and dime packages and hits people late and talks trash afterwards, all as a rook who has yet to do anything. The Pats were called for a couple of late hits but they could have been called for several more. And yes it is a double standard because the "late" hit on Brady was almost as bogus as the tuck rule nonsense (anyone seen that before or since?) that handed them the chance to win their first SB. Ah well, old news that they're going to get most of the calls and all of the non-calls. Can't afford any mistakes when playing the NFL's cash cow Goliath... Northcutt b!t*%ed out on that would-be TD that would have tied the game in the third though and Garrard's fumble hurt too. A B+ effort won't get it done in Foxboro...

[Aqua4Ever04]

I understand that there may still be some feelings towards Rodney Harrison on this board because of his Charger history, but I'm going to say this any way.

Rodney Harrison is the biggest piece of **** in the NFL. This dude does this on a weekly basis nailing players after the play is over and intentionally trying to hurt them. He racked up more then $200k in fines when he played for the Chargers and he hasn't slowed down in Foxboro.

For my money, there isn't a guy in the NFL that should be unanimously hated amongst all NFL fans more then Rodney Harrison.

[usnidc]

Would we all like it if Merriman was purposely hitting players late on almost every play? No. Rodney "HGH" Harrison is a thug and should have been kicked out of that game last night. On almost every play he was borderline spearing and late hitting. The man has a lot of natural talent, but whereas Bob Sanders plays had between the whistles, Harrison makes his living after the whistle and "I" wouldn't want him on the Chargers.

Except none of his hits last night were "after the whistle". Late yes, but not after the whistle... (I do not discount he should be flagged if he's obviously late coming in just don't get it wrong)

I agree the roughing the passer was BS, but it made up for a bad 15 yarder against Seau. Every angle they showed, Seau didn't have the face mask at all.

[vick1000]

All this Harrison nostalgia is great, but what I was trying to say was he commited two unecissary roughness/ late hit penalties, inside of 2 minutes and should have been ejected. I'm trying to make the point that the officials blantantly allowed him to stay in the game by putting the second one on Samuels when it was OBVIOUS it was Harrison.

We all know Harrison is a "dirty" player, I don't really dislike the guy, even though I hate the Patsies. My point is the officiating, or lack-there-of, of that game, and allowing a player to do that sets a horrible example for kids watching the game.

[OC Chargers]

Harrison is only one of the many classless Patriots players that should have been ejected.

How the refs continue to let them get away with all this malicious dirty play in front of a national TV audience is beyond me.

And allowing half the defense to have their own dance after a place does too. I agree with flagging him, but ejecting? Thats like saying Harrison is the only player that hits like that. Where's the bleeding heart for Bob Sanders and his spearing / leading with helmet? Where's your bleeding heart for mr Horse Collar? Neither of them were ejected from games for their purposeful malicious hits / tackles (granted williams was finally suspended 1 game).

[usnidc]

And allowing half the defense to have their own dance after a place does too.

I'm tired of the "the chargers dance too much" BS. The PATS, especially Seau danced after every play too. Tom Brady acts like he just threw the superbowl winning TD pass after EVERY TD pass he throws.

Everyone celebrates after a good play. The Charges do it no more than any other team.

Harrison is a thug. He has the fines to prove it. It is nice how his career was revived the same time he was caught using HGH.

[56lightsout56]

He has been one of the best players the Patriots have had since he came till now to thanks to his liberal use of HGH.

fixed it for you

They were both borderline penalties. I'm not saying the refs made the wrong calls but Rodney wasn't head hunting. He hit the reciever before he went out of bounds and and was in the air before the whistle blew.

No his last two seasons as a Charger he was playiong through injuries, the guy has gone on to play 5+ great years in NE

[RAWDOGG]

Yeah him and JS were over the hill 10 years ago according to the people in charge.

Seau they were right, but Rodney has gone on to have a stellar 5+ years in NE

[OC Chargers]

If you like have cheating dirty classless players, then yeah Harrison is the perfect fit for the Pats.

I agree. He's nothing more than a classless thug. He deserved at least four personal fouls last night, and then taunted the Jags after the INT - which CBS barely showed on the fringes of the live feed, then edited out on the replay.

He's a criminal too, in his HGH internet ordering scandal that was uncovered by a separate Federal investigation.

He's admitted to taking HGH "for years."

So why was Jim Nantz slobbering all over Rodney's quote - "Youth is overrated" ??? Sure, youth through chemistry. I guess Nantz has problems making that connection, but anyone with a brain can see it plain as day.

Harrison is only still in the NFL because of HGH. He was a broken down player his last two years in SD, yet "magically" has become heathful in NE. Chemistry ....

[RAWDOGG]

The guy is a good football player and that is a fact, I would have loved if he was still in a Charger uni

God forbid they want to make the Pats look like classless punks. It's getting ridiculous how hard the league is trying to hype and pump these media darlings (New England and Indianapolis) in order to draw ratings to these ill-informed fans. I personally know a lot of GOOD football fans and a lot of STUPID football fans. All the GOOD fans don't want Pats Colts while all the STUPID fans want Pats/Colts. It makes me sick, especially after seeing that RIDICULOUS holding call on the INT.

Oh wow, look at CBS now trying to justify the hold after Boomer CLEARLY pointed out it wasn't a hold.

Now, sorry for getting sidetracked, back to HGHarrison.

I really don't even look at the HGH as the biggest factor for my hatred towards him. I dislike him for his pure and single intent of attempting to injure players on purpose. He's a thug, he's wreckless, and a TERRIBLE thing for football.

I hate to do it, but I'm going to have to agree with the Patsy here.

Every fan looks at a handful of games they "should've" won. For instance, when you ask a fan what their team's record was, they'll say something like, "8-8 but if X makes this field goal vs X and X doesn't fumble in the X game, we would've been 10-6 and in the playoffs."

Bwahahaha, not even close ;) I respect your team, but would really only ever ROOT for them during the SB if they are there and my team isn't. That really goes for any AFC team in all honesty. I've never gone to a Bolts game unless my pats or when I was younger, my moms broncos were in town. Never owned any chargers gear... I'm just a fan of the game, but the Pats will always been my one and only.

I disagree with that bold part. The message board demographic isn't the majority of a fan base so this isn't a knock on anyone here, at Finheaven or any other message board for that matter; but I'd say about 75% of a team's fans are all morons/bandwagon/not true fans.

There are still a large portion of morons on any given message board, but for the most part people that sign up for a messageboard are there because they love their team.
