rochester rob Posted December 4, 2017 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

(He should have gotten 2 games.) Agree with 2 games, it was a very bad and intentional act. I think the league keeps missing opportunities to make statements on these types of events. This could be the shining example of how seriously the NFL takes head shots. But they’ll slap him on the wrist and that’s it.

That was a total scumbag play. I'd be willing to bet Gronk doesn't even know what appeal means. Thinks it has something to do with bananas most likely. 2
DC Tom Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 Of course he's appealing. That's just pro forma, and a goid thing, since that means it involves the NFLPA.
hondo in seattle Posted December 4, 2017 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.

At least you could try to make a case it was incidental, even if it's weak. Gronk was just straight up roid-raging out.

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.

I truly hope that the NFL holds his appeal hearing a week from today, so that he's eligible against Miami, but has to miss the Pittsburgh game.
DC Tom Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 BREAKING NEWS: Jerry Hughes to serve Gronkowski's suspension... 4
TNBills Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 Haynesworth got 5 games for stomping on a guys face. This deserved more than one the way he launched his armored forearm at a defenseless man.

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. (Not taking number games just by the way the letter was written.)

Gronk deserves to be suspended as many games as Tre misses, with a one game minimum.
