Is there any more doubt about how much bull$#!+ JuJu’s suspension is?

Art Rooney needs to be burning up the phone lines with Goodell to support his guy. This is nonsense

That hit though, wow! It's worth 2 games.

Shhhhh don’t say that to loud

This is getting out of control. The inconsistencies are absurd. Brown was hit to the head far more directly and intentionally than Burfict was.

They just make up excuses to fit whatever they want to do. Brown lowered his head and that's why the contact was made? LOL BS. That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Brown was landing from a catch. There was no lowering of his head whatsoever. They might as well just say that Brown launched himself at the defender's head.

And when James Harrison used to explain hits that way, Goodell told him it didn't matter. It was the defensive players' responsibility to avoid the hit to the head.

And the NFL wonders why ratings continue to slide.

it's the taunting... makes you question intent AND is not a look the NFL wants... it's easier for Iloka to to say it was accidental, "just trying to separate the man from the ball on a bang-bang play"

Had JuJu not stood over him, he wins the appeal. In fact, there likely isn't anything to even appeal

And it's a nationally televised game with commentators talking about how bad it is.

NFL discipline isn't about consistently applying the rules. It's about perception and protecting the shield.

Then the NFL should consider doing that...because they aren't at this time...

I hope someone from the NFL reads this (from the Trib):

Of the three offenses, only Gronkowski's concussion-causing cheap shot after the whistle was worthy of a suspension.

Here's the hypocrisy: A league that has cracked down on helmet-to-helmet hits for the sake of player safety punished Smith-Schuster for a shoulder-first shot with incidental helmet contact that caused a concussion but cleared Iloka for a helmet-first hit that didn't.

Smith-Schuster and Iloka both were involved in bang-bang collisions, what NFL players and coaches call “football plays.” They were judgment calls that deserved fines, not suspensions.
