Brian Price got sent home for his penalty - was that the right call?

and just like w/the 49ers this team has given up on their coach and that will be the reason he will be done at the end of this year. this was the game they needed to win to save their coaches jobs, the final score shows that the players have given up on the year and this staff.

while i hate losing im glad we didnt beat the packers (b/c we didnt derserve to break their streak) and that we lost today to show management/owership that this team needs some major changes.

and not focused at the real perpetrators of a lot of our dumbass penalty problems.

Who leads the team in personal fouls? I’m willing to wager it’s Trueblood (he’d been that before). So why does Price get the banhammer? Because of 1) poor timing and 2) making himself the focus of Raheem’s toxic anger.

Toxic anger is something where you allow the little indignities and slights and things that normally cause anger responses to build up over time without productive release. And then what happens is that one little “wafer thin mint” of a trigger sets you off and you end up actually attacking someone or something that really isn’t causing most of your problems. (Yes, I took anger management lessons as part of my depression therapy)

Talibs was way worse and he’s older he should have known better

I often wonder who’s gonna wanna stay after all those rookie contracts are up

But I tend to fall into the camp that says this wasn’t the best call. Price has never been a source of penalties before, and is a second year player. If any player deserved to be made an example of, it’s either Talib or Winslow, as multiple offenders who don’t seem to learn from their mistakes. Of course, Talib is Morris’ BFF- so that probably won’t happen.

Brian Price will be judged a selfish player by millions of NFL fans that don’t know any better. He isn’t selfish and he doesn’t have a history of dumb penalties. Totally inappropriate for Morris to throw Price under the bus.

At the same time, I’m sure Morris is sick of hearing about how he doesn’t discipline his team. He probably wanted the public to know that yes, he is holding player’s accountable. I’m sure Morris is frustrated and it’s showing. I think this was to shut the fans and media up about discipline problems more than anything.

Sucks that Price had to be the whipping boy when so many other players deserved it more. He should have sent the whole starting defense home for the 4th quarter and put in the scrubs. Now that would have sent a message.

And I find it rather petty to single out one player. Last time I checked, football is a team sport and with 22 starting positions, who all have their hand in the cookie jar, it just shows that Rah has come to grips that his tenure is beginning to look like a fluke. Price is our best DT. No need to stir him up, especially as though he has been through hell and back, and he’s still more endurable than our 1st round "mr.big talk’ dt.

He is close with all his players, and I’m sure they will talk it out. Morris had to make a statement, and Brian Price just did something stupid at the wrong time. This is the line that many parent have to draw with their kids at some point. They have to let their children know that they are not their friends but their parent. Raheem had to do the same, he had to show them he isn’t a fellow player, but a coach who will demand the most out of his players for the rest of his tenure here.

You bring up the Vernon Davis analogy and clearly Morris and Singletary are different coaches. However, I can think of few examples when a coach realized what he was losing control, changed his MO, and things turned around for the coach. It’s incredibly hard to regain control and I can only think of one example, Tom Coughlin, who has been able to adjust. Coughlin, however, is the first to come under fire when his team plays poorly and seems like he is constantly on the hot seat when they lose. He’s been able to salvage control of the locker room by winning and keeping critics at bay.

is Morris saying he didn’t even know what he did. If that’s the case, why not just sit him for a series? It was a dumb penalty, and this team needs discipline, but this strikes me as an overreaction made out of frustration.

Whatever though. This team has much bigger issues to worry about than this, and the team is sorely lacking in accountability and discipline.

This screams of Morris’ frustration and overreaction. This was not a penatly that cost us a game. Talib’s stupid penalty (was it against the Saints?) and others have been far more costly. Morris either couldnt keep his emotions in check (it’s fine he was pissed) or he is trying to assert himself, which is dumb at this point.

Price is not a troublemaker by all accounts and to send him home after putting up with all this other BS sends a mixed message. Get booted for 54 weeks? Come on back. Get multiple personal fouls and involvd in other legal skirmishes? Come on back. Get a 15 yarder as we are getting our butts kicked? Go home. Uneven and illogical

but it should have been happening all season. If I was the coach, every time someone committed a personal foul, they’d be out for at least one full series. I don’t have a problem with Raheem as head coach, but he needs to stop being everyone’s best friend. And, like everyone else says, they need a new Offensive coordinator and he needs to hire a Defensive coordinator if he’s going to stay Head coach.

Talib who has character issues, is the guy you do this to or kellen winslow with his horrible attitude not price who honestly looks like a good kid.

Talibs was way worse, we were still battling for a playoff spot and the game was close. prices was when the game was out of reach and players have to be frustrated with the coaching staff. not trying to excuse brian or anything but sending him home is an extreme measure when you just “talk to the other guys” about their penalties. I believe he should have been benched and that maybe would have been better because if hes watching football right in front of him then he might not commit this again.

Lets say Sander gives a warning to cracker for cursing and says dont do it again, and gives another warning for cursing to bucsfanlostiniowa and says dont do it again and then witty curses and sander bans him from bucsnation, was sander just frustrated ? maybe but you still have to treat everyone the same.

Im getting pretty tired of raheem sticking his neck out for guys like winlsow and talib who are probably worthless moral human beings and throwing guys like price under the bus and saying mccoy needs to stop playing pop warner football.

Talib, Winslow, Price, Tanard, the Worldest Nicest Man….it doesn’t matter WHO it is. We had them stopped on 3rd down, opportunity to get the ball back and possibly turn the tide of the game. He sent Price home for being SELFISH and not understanding the games situation. YES, he should’ve done this before with other players but when he didn’t you guys bashed him for not doing so and being a PLAYERS coach. So NOW he sends a guy to the locker room to make a statement and show the rest of his team that it doesn’t matter WHO it is, if you mess up then there will be CONSEQUENCES…. and you guys STILL bash? He’s atoning for HIS own mistakes and try to grow as a coach JUST like he would expect his players to learn from mistakes in their past and right the ship. Too little too late blah blah blah…..it’s NEVER too late send a message to your team, and to all the young and future players of the NFL…you can be the nicest guy in the world but if you disrespect your own players and fans, it’s time to go to the locker room and look yourself in the mirror. I agree, he should’ve done this before……and Price is actually my favorite player on the Bucs seeing as he is from UCLA and I’m from L.A and my entire family are UCLA fans….but this was the right call. Price will be back and HOPEFULLY him and the rest of the team will keep in mind that NO ONES job player/coach is safe. Good call Raheem, THAT is coaching. Lets see some more of it….. (haha)
