Would be well worth the investigation, seeing as there is nothing to investigate. All the player's said the right things after the game that they have to moved on from it. Sorry, but, you're coming into the lion's den when the lion's are hungry for blood. We just saw your Neanderthal TE drop the people's elbow on one of the few bright spots of this season, all because he was upset about a non-call that didn't inflict him any physical harm? Yet, it calls for one the dirtiest plays I've seen in age. Vontaze and the boy named Suh would be proud. 

 

But, other than that you're team looks like an automatic bid to the super-bowl. 

 

When the Patriots had their undefeated season.... I told everyone that I'd rather the Bills never win a super bowl in order for the Patriots to lose that game... :(

First it was the dirtiest play I have seen ever! That includes Suh stepping on Rogers.  Also if you honestly believe they be looking for "truth" you don't know the NFL. They just want their pound of flesh and Buffalo lose more draft picks than the Pats have combined and be fined millions of dollars after the false investigation. (Don't believe me ask Elliott)

I don't think the Bills have a say in the matter. Your owner could yell and scream and do a Jerry jones but I don't think you guys get a dog in the fight.

It was a rhetorical question.

I need someone how 1 penalty negates 2.. then a second one is on its own and is enforced?  The game was over at that point, so wasn't to "help" the Pats as much as just piss poor refs and then wanting punish the team hurt one of their feelings with words. 

I agree, the game was largely over.  So it didn't help the Patriots at all.  Nor would an extra 15yds have helped the Bills.  It's more the principle of being a Bills fan and seeing this type of officiating every single time we play the Patriots.  

 

I was watching the game with my brother-in-law, a lifelong Broncos fan.  He was in complete disbelief at the play and subsequent outcome.  I just looked at him and said... Welcome to the Bills/Patriots rivalry.  I've been seeing this going on 2 decades.  

 

The Patriot players treat our players with zero respect, the coaches show zero respect, the league show zero respect in how they officiate, our own players take the beat down in stride and congratulate the Patriots.    They win, we lose.  That's the way it is... And it's sickening to cheer for this team during this game twice every year, knowing that its going to happen.

Best thing to do is call the league the number is on the suspension paper! 212 450 2000!

 

The Refs are part of the problem too The didn't throw him out and didn't call penalties. Look at all the long run NE holding on everyone never called!

McDermott is someone that does not show his emotions in the media but I think he's a fireball behind the scenes.  He clearly was talking first when he and Bill met - then Bill said I understand and apologize.  He may have wanted to see what his reaction was to determine what would be done about it in the next game.  I'm speculating for sure, but there was something methodical about Sean's approach.

I could care less about the suspension.  The only redemption this team could have is to get even.  I generally don't advocate street justice, but in a team sport you cannot allow that to happen to a teammate without repercussions.   In baseball a player would have taken a 95 mile per hour fastball.  That shot was so cheap someone has to go for a knee.  

 

I doubt this so call "team" "band of brothers" has the guts to do it.  Probably not- that is why the streak extends to 18 year.  They deserve and command zero respect.

The Billsy outcome...

He will appeal this and the suspension will be postponed for a few weeks.  He'll end up sitting out the Bills game.  He avoids any possibility of retribution and they probably won't need him anyway. They might not even care about the game at that point in the season.

Haynesworth also had a record of dirty play.  Gronk does not.  Gronk deserves to be suspended as many games as Tre misses, with a one game minimum.

False. Gronkowski got fined twice before for roughing, once for blocking Sergio Brown OOB and another for taunting (fighting) w/ Seahawks after the Super Bowl IIRC. Another fine for taunting against the Bengals per ESPN.
