Like A Mofo Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Will Dareus then be suspended by the commish after this is over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 I'm expecting at least one game considering the drug incident as well. But I believe it's all wrapped up in personal conduct and you never know what Roger will do there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I'm betting no suspension. He complied with the law for his drug arrest (for a drug that isn't banned by the NFL) and this will be a traffic ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 Nigel's charges were dismissed and he still got a game. Maybe because it was a banned substance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 i bet he will get 2 games because we are the buffalo bills and everyone is out to get us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Bills Fan Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I think he gets 1 game CBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanC883 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 (edited) prob 1 game, unless he ends up on the Patriots, in which case he will not get banned. Edited February 10, 2015 by RyanC883 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Goodell Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 The league will carefully review the situation involving Marcell and will comment at the appropriate time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 prob 1 game, unless he ends up on the Patriots, in which case he will not get banned. also a likely scenario that the one game ban happens to coincide with when we play the Pats.

Wasn't aware traffic tickets carried up to a year in jail penalty - better watch my speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this is not a huge deal becausnothing happened. As bad as that sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmotionallyUnstable Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 did he call William Mattar? He wasn't hurt in car though lol I imagine that the punishment will be unfitting and unexpected, given the NFLs recent track record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) What I find interesting is that Dareus' attorney turned down a reckless driving plea offered up by the DA. Wonder what their angle is? Could there be some difficulty on the state side with proof of drag racing? Edited February 11, 2015 by eball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonInBuffalo Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 What I find interesting is that Dareus' attorney turned down a reckless driving plea offered up by the DA. Wonder what their angle is? Could there be some difficulty on the state side with proof of drag racing? § 1212. Reckless driving. Reckless driving shall mean driving or using any motor vehicle, motorcycle or any other vehicle propelled by any power other than muscular power or any appliance or accessory thereof in a manner which unreasonably interferes with the free and proper use of the public highway, or unreasonably endangers users of the public highway. Reckless driving is prohibited. Every person violating this provision shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.His attorney apparently wasn't willing to concede a criminal record without going to court. However IMO this case will be straightforward to prove in court. They have plenty of unbiased witnesses to the event. Being convicted of a crime will almost certainly result in a suspension, which is why the attorney isn't willing to concede that. The cost to take this to trial is probably substantially less than one of Marcell's game checks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don, any plea necessarily involves conviction of a "crime" -- but even reckless driving is a traffic misdemeanor that is pretty inconsequential. I'm finding it hard to believe they'd turn down that plea unless they actually think they can win at trial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
