stevestojan Posted Sunday at 01:01 AM Share Posted Sunday at 01:01 AM (edited) No idea what the fine was for. But Fitz is a national treasure. (And Reid will probably get his own fine for that tweet…) Edited Sunday at 01:02 AM by stevestojan 8 1 40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastie Posted Sunday at 01:05 AM Share Posted Sunday at 01:05 AM No regrets from me on buying his jersey while he was here and I would still wear it whenever he had a standalone game after he left the Bills. Glad he is doing so well. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxum Posted Sunday at 01:11 AM Share Posted Sunday at 01:11 AM Fining is interesting. Sometimes player is penalized (i.e. AJE for unnecessary roughness on Aaron Rodgers) and NFL does not fine and sometimes there is no penalty Andreessen hit with helmet when he did not lead with it but there is a fine.

JohnNord Posted Sunday at 01:17 AM Share Posted Sunday at 01:17 AM The post game fines are such a joke, especially when penalty was called. Fining Buffalo Joe on that awesome tackle is a joke 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillyG Posted Sunday at 01:41 AM Share Posted Sunday at 01:41 AM What a weird amount to fine someone. That extra 29 cents will really drive the point home. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come with a description of why you're being fined and a video of the play You are also allowed to dispute it... Now.. the NFL also does not make money off of these fines... They are not getting rich off of finding millionaires They take the fine money.. and redistributed back to NFL retired players who need assistance.. and grassroots NFL movements from the high school level down Sure fine suck.. but they go to a good place 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QLBillsFan Posted Sunday at 01:50 AM Share Posted Sunday at 01:50 AM The runner was slipping and then Joe made contact. Complete joke by the NFL! Meanwhile let’s play Thursday, Monday, and on concrete turf in England. Player safety! 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickelCity Posted Sunday at 02:13 AM Share Posted Sunday at 02:13 AM (edited) That's a bad decision. I was sitting in section 230 which gave a perfect broadside view of the hit. Well done Reid for supporting him. Edited Sunday at 03:00 AM by NickelCity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breakout Squad Posted Sunday at 02:36 AM Share Posted Sunday at 02:36 AM Probably would be smarter of Fitz to just send him a check. Did you know Fitz is a Harvard graduate. He also wore his wedding ring while playing. 😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree about Mondays for you could say thing about Saturday evenings and if you push it teams flying coast to coast. Teams have a disadvantage on Mondays but it is made up following week. 3 minutes ago, Breakout Squad said: Probably would be smarter of Fitz to just send him a check.

Definitely not a perfect system And obviously andresen is not making much money compared to his peers... He will earn north of 790,000 this year... So yeah a $5,000 fine for a rookie undrafted guy is a bit much for not a dirty play But making the roster he did earn a nice chunk of change 26 minutes ago, Einstein said: While this is true, it’s not altruistic on the NFL’s part.

Drey Posted Sunday at 03:18 AM Share Posted Sunday at 03:18 AM Riq Woolen was fined for taunting Keon Coleman with a throat slash (not penalized). It's bad enough that Keon mossed him two plays later, but to also have to fork over cash... 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
