BringBackOrton Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 No problem with the fine at all. Everyone involved needed a nominal punishment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whorlnut Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Rudolph started the whole thing. Should have gotten at least a game. If he didn’t react by trying to take Garrett’s helmet off, none of that would have ever happened. 50k is getting off easy IMO... 9 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 I didn’t do any type of research on comparable situations/punishments... but it feels fair that he’d be punished substantially but not overwhelmingly for his behavior 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackOrton Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Just now, Doc said: You mean like an indefinite suspension? It was a brawl with a horrific visual . Without the helmet swing, I would have been okay with zero suspensions. However, Garrett lost his mind. But after it devolved, I agree with the indefinite suspension, the reduced suspension of Pouncey and also fining Rudolph for his involvement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe the racial slur accusation but the other things plus getting into Garrett's face after getting his helmet ripped off definitely deserved at least 1 game. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albany,n.y. Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Letting Rudolph play is a bigger punishment to the Steelers than suspending him. ? 2 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting into guys faces hasn’t really been grounds for suspension in the NFL. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan in Cleveland Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Should have been a game suspension. If not, $250K would have been more appropriate. He started the melee and continued it before the helmet hit his head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boatdrinks Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Seems about right to me. He did maybe a bit more than Kelly did to Marty Lyons back in the day. A suspension would be a stretch to me. He obviously has some culpability in what transpired, but the action was of the fine incurring variety to me.

Seriously. Head kicks, eye jabs, etc etc. And some folks think a bad QB “getting in a defender’s face” is suspension worthy. Sometimes I feel like we watch different games. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
