Why the Buffalo Bills' criticism of Odell Beckham Jr. seems unjustified, There were a accumulating of moments that led up to the moment. It was the moment Giants advanced receiver Odell Beckham Jr. let his affections get the best of him in Sunday's 24-10 achievement over the Buffalo Bills, but wasn't absolutely mentioned until two canicule later.
Beckham took a bash at assurance Duke Williams afterwards he was laid out (legally) on an interception return. It will acceptable bulk him $8,681. He affairs to address the fine.
That moment wasn't absolutely isolated. It was architecture from the aperture series, if Beckham and Bills cornerback Stephon Gilmore had their easily in anniversary others' faces on assorted occasions.
Not that this is annihilation new.
"Yeah, I get punched every individual bold or 'punched' or whatever it is—I get hit in my face every individual game," Beckham said. "Like I said, it is what it is, but we're arena football and these are developed men out here. I don't anticipate anybody should be talking about what happened afterwards they absent the game."
The Bills did. They alleged out Beckham for his accomplishments throughout the contest. They alleged him a "prima donna" and a "cheap shot" artist. They alleged him "weird" and the NFL's "golden boy." And they aswell said the advertising was based "off that one catch."
That final one is the absolute head-scratcher. Beckham's numbers in the aboriginal 16 amateur of his career are off the charts. Calling him a one-catch admiration should anon taint any of their claims.
Still, I scoured the coaches blur to see if there was any authority to what they were saying. Here's what I found:
Beckham and the Bills' starting cornerbacks (Gilmore and Ronald Darby) battled all afternoon. Buffalo drillmaster Rex Ryan acutely had a bold plan that complex getting concrete with Beckham. It's not all that altered from what a lot of teams employ.
On added than one occasion, it resulted in ambiguous actionable contact, both accomplished the 5-yard absolute and in the about of Beckham's head/neck.
It began if Beckham and Gilmore akin up for a lot of of the aboriginal drive. It continued throughout a lot of of the aboriginal quarter.
This was backward in the aboriginal quarter. Gilmore clobbers Beckham 7 yards downfield and rather high.
As Beckham brand to say, "It's football." This isn't annihilation abnormal. Just addition day on the acreage for the atomic advanced receiver.
Again a few account later, this time in the additional quarter, Beckham (out advanced right) is hit top by amateur cornerback Ronald Darby. His arch jerks aback afore he continues to run his route.
At the end of the play, Beckham appeared to about-face to the official to accurate his disgust. This happened Sunday on assorted occasions, which is attenuate for Beckham. He's usually rather quiet on the field.
But Beckham and quarterback Eli Manning weren't consistently on the aforementioned page. There appeared to be some abhorrence at their adeptness to connect. Maybe that contributed to the bulk he complained. Maybe not.
Still, Beckham was giving best effort, aggravating to accord in added ways, as apparent on this play. Actuality he sprints downfield to accomplish a block for advanced receiver Rueben Randle. The final aftereffect is a crushing hit on Bills assurance Bacarri Rambo in the aboriginal quarter.
This didn't arise to go over able-bodied with the Bills, even admitting the block and accouterment action appealing abundant simultaneously. It seems to accept contributed to their late-game annoyance as things began to crumble about them.
The Giants didn't assume to anticipate there was annihilation amiss with it.
"[Beckham is] an affecting guy," drillmaster Tom Coughlin said. "Hey, let's face it, I told him, 'I wish you to abide to block the way you're blocking.' He flies about out there."
With 6:22 remaining, that is if it clearly began to abatement apart. The Bills best up an accidental acerbity and caitiff conduct amends on back-to-back plays. According to abhorrent lineman Justin Pugh, they didn't affliction because they conceded the bold was over.
Later that drive, on a play that was destroyed dead, blame ensued afterwards the whistle. Giants larboard accouterment Ereck Flowers was tossed to the arena and Beckham came to his teammate's aid. There was some run of the comminute blame and shoving.
When things seemed to accept settled, Bills linebacker Preston Brown put his easily in Beckham's chest. The advanced receiver angrily slapped it away.
That's if Brown assault a gasket. He's adjourned a 15-yard penalty.
At this point there still isn't abundant out of the ordinary. It was your accustomed boilerplate late-game scrum. Everything seemed to settle.
Three plays later, an agitated Beckham throws a slappy football bite at Williams. This was bridge the line, but annihilation that is abnormally dirty. This affectionate of post-play being happens appealing regularly. It has happened to Oakland's Charles Woodson, Houston's Andre Johnson, Washington's Trent Williams, and Seattle's Ricardo Lockett, just to name a few, over the accomplished few years.
It even happened on the Bills amusement Sunday with Giants arresting accouterment Cullen Jenkins the victim. Jenkins took a attempt from a Bills amateur or drillmaster in artery clothes on the sideline.Illegal, no doubt. Worthy of fines, of course. Deserving of whines, complaints and a announcement of Beckham as a being and amateur by the Bills afterwards the contest, not really.
As Jenkins explained, seemed like acerb grapes. There was annihilation there besides that one play that showed Beckham to be a perpetually bedraggled amateur who delivers "cheap shots." Mostly it was just hard-nosed, aggressive football.
