Downvote if your in denial!

He plays so fiery. Don’t worry about whether it’s clean or dirty, offensive linemen hold on every friggin’ play in the NFL.

Personally I loved both plays, and both are part of the game.

Big Rich makes $18 million this year, approx 1.8 million per game, 15 grand out of 1.8 million, so in other words its like the avg joe had to pay $0.75 cents…..it was worth playing agressive, seeing how the chiefs did not have another qb on the roster suited up, after quinn got ko’ed.

Defense is an illegal play these days.

The 15 yard penalty and fine was the correct call.

That shows how classy the team is

With the rules geared up to protect players, any defensive player is more apt to draw a flag. The fast pace of the game has increased the amout of flags thrown against the defense. I think just about any team would love to have Seymour on their roster.

He didn’t do anything remotely dirty last Sunday. He flat-out didn’t do anything, period.

He was writhing in pain one moment and then fine the next.Also it seemed the Chiefs were trying to start fights all game. There were several plays where they were shoving players after the play was over. There hasn’t been any other Raider games where I have seen that this season. Then against the Chargers on Thursday I saw the same thing, curious they only have one win.

It’s Cassell! Does he really qualify as “the passer”? And how was Seymour supposed to know that? Typical anti- Raider bias by the league.

Or sweating.

“But in terms of being dirty, going out to hurt guys, I don’t think I play that way or any of my teammates [play dirty]. I don’t stand for it. But we do play tough and physical. I do believe that’s the way the game is supposed to be played. I respect guys that play the same way”

after the game:
“The NFL has confirmed that Seymour was fined $15,750 for roughing the passer because he unnecessarily threw Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel to the ground after Cassel had thrown a pass”

Actions speak louder than words, Richard.
