Flop or not, intentions be damned, others have been suspended games for this. The NFL is in a quandary. If one loses games and another is just fined, there will be hell to pay from one side or the other. I love it when the NFL plays its subjective hand and gets their tails in a crack because of the idiocy. [Reply]

Really? Does Aaron Donald know he's behind Chris Jones? Best D lineman still playing? Sure. Glad hes on our team, but still giving the nod to Donald for best in the NFL. [Reply]

I'm just not seeing that, some of it may have been 76 not expecting it and getting caught off balance... but Chris clearly coldcocked him with force IMO [Reply]

Can you please cite where somebody has been suspended for slapping a player in the helmet? Not saying you're wrong, but if it's ever happened I just don't remember it. [Reply]

Javon Wims suspended 2 games, a couple years ago someone smacked Big Ben in the head after a play and was out a game or 2. Burfect, although a repeat offender, missed most of his last season for a rather small late hit. I’ll have to dig a little to find more but those came to mind immediately.
I’m not saying it deserves a suspension at all. It wasn’t a big deal but the NFL is so inconsistent with its suspensions and fines. Everything is so subjective. Let’s just say the scales of justice aren’t equal in the NFL. [Reply]
