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. Could be, could be. Either way, getting really tired of all the attached off-field drama with this league. Owners, politics, ratings, concussions etc etc etc. Add that to an increasingly unwatchable product(my team and the league overall), and I see why the NFL as we know it might be in trouble. I just wanna watch a damn game. 2

Thinks it has something to do with bananas most likely. Maybe his appeal will actually involve a peel. Maybe he will say he slipped on one and fell into White. 1

I'm really never for targeting/bounty nonsense, but the Bills clearly let the league handle the discipline and they totally botched it. He's a big dude, what if he hit 2" lower and broke Tre's neck? Absolutely disgusting. 1
MAJBobby Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 He gets a little mini bye for a game he would not be needed in and back before the Steeler game in a game he absolutely will be needed in 1

I can't disagree, but go after him makes sense but if they do it next game players be kicked out left and right because the refs be "looking" for it. I was them wait till next year get revenge.
Buddy Hix Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 Too lenient IMO... What a B word move to appeal it.
JohnBonhamRocks Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 Has there been any instance of appeals resulting in higher penalty? Please someone tell me yes. 1
MAJBobby Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 They were never doing more than 1 game lucky it eas even that. Steelers are up after MIA and NFL wasnt going to keep him out for thag game one that can decide homefield throughout

Sad but a feesable argument.
nedboy7 Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 What a joke. This is the same league that is worried about player safety?

The NFL making things convenient for the Patriots*. What a shock. Thanks for showing us what cowards you really are NFL.

Gronk deserves to be suspended as many games as Tre misses, with a one game minimum. Until that stomp, he had a clean history other than a practice incident where he kicked a player in the chest. Now after he had a couple dirty plays.
Billzgobowlin Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 In light of his apology I am surprised he is fighting it. Guess he has no remorse or thinks the punishment doesn't fit the crime. I hope during his appeal they up his suspension
BadLandsMeanie Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 If the right people are on their toes, this will turn out very badly for the NFL front office. Very bad optics here. Another example of almost unbelievable stupidity on the part of the NFL and failure to understand street level perceptions. I can't bring myself to start it, but unless I am the stupid one, and not the NFL, someone will take this decision and push their noses into it. It can become a bad headache for them indeed. I'm gonna wait and see!

I'm gonna wait and see! If this had happen against Dallas or an LA team or any big market team I say you are right. But since it's Buffalo I bet it gets hurried and goes away.
YoloinOhio Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 Steelers don’t play that game. Shazier will light up his knees.

Yeah, but the NFL needs to have every player available for a big game that could decide home field advantage in the AFC. It was Gronkowski's first time that he had ever done something like this, and he said he was sorry. Yeah, player safety, blah blah blah. Tre'Davious White will get over it. And it's just the Bills.
