PatsFanNH Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Seems light, but he will not fight it as missing the Phins game isn't as bad as missing the Steelers game. (He should have gotten 2 games.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Hammersticks Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Expected, but disappointed. What sort of precedent is the NFL setting here? One game suspension for CLEARLY attempting to injure a defenseless player....AFTER THE WHISTLE!?! If I did that to someone at the supermarket, I’d be going to jail and likely subject to a huge lawsuit. Complete bull ****. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Jabber Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 (edited) Should have been longer. The NFL preaches "player safety" but only give a Gronkowski a one game suspension for delivering a vicious, intentional hit to the back of White's head.

Guffalo Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Just now, Jerry Jabber said: Should have been longer. Should have been 2-3 if they really care about concussions.

26CornerBlitz Posted December 4, 2017 Author Share Posted December 4, 2017 Pretty light for a deliberate and dirty hit on a defenseless opponent that resulted in injury after the play was over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannc Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 (edited) And he’s appealing. Wonder if he will drop the appeal right before the Bills game, to avoid any retaliation.

thebandit27 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 After hearing his appeal, Thrash or Brooks should increase his suspension to 3 games for having the audacity to appeal. That was a total scumbag play. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't be, they would launch a full scale investigation and state it was a planned out attack and fine and suspend the player and your coach and take multiple draft picks. Just ask the Saints..

rochester rob Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Guess the NFL deems ripping someones bling off the neck much more dangerous to safety than dropping an elbow into the back of head/neck. Last week the former got two games ( reduced to one ) The Patriot (nfl ) way. Bull crap Roger 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hondo in seattle Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 (edited) It was cheap, intentional, and after the whistle. The context doesn't matter. What he did was wrong and he deserves at least a 1 game suspension. The fact that he caused a concussion - the bane of the NFL - makes his actions even less excusable.

He is already under full attack by Jerry Jones and let's face it Kraft is not his biggest supporter so maybe he was just scared get two of the most powerful owners after his job? I don't know I fee 3 was warranted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said to you before: the two are not even close. Flacco slid a bit late, and Alonso fouled him by making the effort to hit him anyway. It was a bang-bang play that, yes, could've been a suspension, but not in the same library as purposefully dropping a forearm smash onto a prone opponent who is out of bounds and driving his head into the turf well after the play is over.

I have stated a few times in this thread I thought Gronk deserved more than 1 game. I was meaning by reading that letter what Alanso did was also a dispensable offense.

Gronk deserves to be suspended as many games as Tre misses, with a one game minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
