Missouri's fans have been almost wholesale defending it.

Glad those punks are in their permanent spot in the SEC now.

Its not an illegal tackle. A bama player did it a few years ago. Its not worthy of ejection either, since bama has already gotten away with it

Frazier was a vagina for that one. Get your plays in during the actual play, not after the whistle blows and no one expects it. It's equivalent to the guy who sucker-punches because he knows it's the only chance he has to actually land a lick in before getting demolished.

Saw Josh Smith blocking right up to the whistle and MU player took a swing at him. Ref was right there and got in between but no flag. We do a high five after TD and 15 yard penalty.

My stomach churned when I saw that body slam. Kelly could have been paralyzed by that cheap azz tackle. The Missouri player should have been ejected. The conference should review it and punish accordingly.

Well, considering it got flagged, and considering it was after the whistle, it was 100% illegal.

The one I hate is when linemen try to move the pile after a runner is stopped. Everybody knows it's illegal to aid a runner, but it's gotten to the point where they allow the pile to turn into a rugby scrum. People are going to get hurt.

That rule went out the window back when USC won in 2004. They clearly pushed Reggie Bush into the endzone for the winning TD over Notre Dame that year, and the refs just stood there slack-jawed since they were the anointed team.

He could have just fallen backward and taken the RB down with him. Total cheap shot to do what he did before, during or after a whistle. Whistle is not relevant there. As far as Bama getting away with it, they get away with everything so that's no excuse. The refs look the other way on all holding by Bama, and Jonathan Allen launching himself, crown of the helmet leading, into Dobbs' chin during our game. Announcers went on and on about what a great athlete he was for that one.

I remember an Alabama player doing that to one of our running backs 4 years ago. He wasn't ejected. He stayed in and got his azz kicked by Mizzou olinemen.

Frazier didn't do anything worthy of ejection, atleast not based on past cases of similar tackles.

First of all, the highlighted portion never happened. And I'll side with ex-football player Gary Danielson who believed the Missouri player should have been tossed over a homer that thinks anything Missouri did against Alabama 4 years ago was an azz kicking in a 42-10 beatdown.

I didn't like the play, however in the heat of the game and how this play developed I don't think it was intentional. Someone making a tackle is going to try and take the person to the ground. I am glad that John is in such good physical condition that he could absorb that kind of punishment.
On the Scrum that football is becoming, I agree that this has got to stop. Forward momentum should be produced by the ball carrier, not the whole football team.

This, honestly it was a kid trying to make a play it went too far. Seriously folks this was 100% on the refs. it not like he picked him up and purposely dropped him on this head. WATCH the play the kid was just trying to tackle Kelly who is really hard to tackle.

The whistle was a good 3-5 seconds late. But again its a hard one because with Kelly being the kind of back he is at any point he could have broken loose and the refs knew that. How many times this season have we seen plays where if they had blew the whistle immediately when it seemed like Kelly or Kamara was stopped and it turned into a huge play? I can think of at least 4 or 5.

It looked really bad and could have turned out really bad but labeling a kid dirty and saying they tried to hurt someone because of a legit play between the whistles is silly. I'll be honest, in the heat of the moment I was pissed too but after seeing the replay it was fairly clear. The the flag on boulware was semi-legit but in most cases wouldn't have been thrown in that situation. That kid was getting a beatdown in there. Lesson learned and they have moved on so should we.

Bama being Bama is allowed to get away with lots of things that "lesser" teams aren't allowed to do. Kind of like NC in basketball. Doesn't make it legal and certainly not okay. Rules are supposedly implemented to maintain order and protect players. I agree with another poster that this should have been considered a "flagrant foul". Definitely not targeting, but potentially as harmful.
