Mike Evans got one game for a shove to Lattimore. Which didn't cause a injury and didn't target the head. Gronk should have gotten more than Evans

 

Is there precedent for more than one game because there was an injury (he's in the protocol, actually), versus one game for no injury?

Is concussion protocol an injury? Or a precaution make sure he doesn't have a concussion? I'm asking because I have never seen anyone come out and say he has a concussion YET.

Not that I think McDermott will receive it this way, but if I were the coach, then I see this ruling as incentive to BountyGate all over again. Pull a guy up from the PS, tell him to take out Brady's knees however long after the play, and suffer the (no way it would only be) one game suspension. Open the AFC East right up for a minuscule price. I think we could trudge along without Cap Capi for a game. 

 

Edit: ^ Yeah, that!

Open season for Tom Brady has begun. One game suspension is a good price for Brady's knee cap.  Lets go!

Be the dumbest thing the Bills ever did is to go after Brady. As I stated before the NFL cares only about $$, and Brady love him or hate him is a $$$ machine for the NFL. If the Bills go after him you would see a big old fake investigation and the Bills Organization be hit hard. Why? Because you disrupted the cash flow of the NFL and that will. It be tolerated. (Even if it was a lone wolf hit)

Pretty sure you don't enter concussion protocol unless you don't meet your baseline when they do the first test.

Can the Bills appeal the decision?

 

Good question.

 

After Gronk appealed the Bills should appeal for too light of a suspension.

 

Gronk used a PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) as a weapon.

He did not use his unarmored forearm or anything else but that.

He knew exactly what he was using that metal cast for.

He is allowed to wear that for his own personal protection, NOT a device to inflict pain to others.

 

That alone should be at least 1 more game.

What are they gonna do to the Bills?  Take away draft picks that we squander any way?   LOL     We might not make the playoffs, if they punish the team.

In the NHL.

 

This decision is as expected. The same as Evans. The microscope is on the league and if they went harsher on the Patriots that would lead to months of "poor us" coming from the mouth breathers. If they didn't suspend him at all the outrage would have been coming from all the other fan bases.

Lol in all seriousness I understand going after Gronk or even hitting the other WR a little harder and perhaps later, but going after the player the NFL has crowned the GOAT be crazy. Not to mention it's in NE not Buffalo so your not alone with crazy dumb fans, matter fact we have a bandwagon full of them!

I totally agree with you.  They should have went after him yesterday, if they were going to.   I honestly don't think the Bills will; they're too resigned to being the Patriots bitches.  

 

Kinda like yesterday, even with that hit, I sat there wondering how the Bills were going to get the bigger penalty out if it.  The league and the teams know the Bills are supposed to lose those games.  And they all make sure it happens, in their own ways.

Any chance they delay the appeal and he ends up missing playing in the Steelers game?

 

unfortunately it probably wouldn't make a difference anyways

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.

Taking away Gronk doesn't hurt NE enough...if you want to send a message, you take out Brady.

 

I don't expect McDermott to do that--that's not the cut of his jib.

 

I'd probably handle it the same way, though part of me wants to believe that I'd call a toss play toward the sideline, and if one of my lead blockers just happens to stumble 17 yards out of bounds and go helmet-to-knee on Tommy Boy, well, that'd be too bad.

 

But yeah, in the end I have no desire to see anyone hurt.  I once thought differently, but after Edelman went out for the season and I surprisingly found myself actually feeling bad for him (despite how gigantic an a-hole he is, and the fact that he routinely commits unsportsmanlike conduct and somehow manages to escape penalty and instead incite penalties by his opponents), I discovered I am actually a compassionate person.

 

It was kind of disappointing :lol:

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.
