BLOODSPORT! No fine or suspension!
MEH! It was a nasty hit, fine him and make it count!
YEESH! A 1-game suspension is warranted for that hit.
Miller should get a multi-game suspension for trying to harm/injure another player.
Here's an animation of the hit. https://gfycat.com/HonoredLeanGypsymoth
Von Miller sees Smith is about to unload the ball, lowers his head, leaves his feet, and spears Smith square in the center of the back.
Officials penalized the hit, but did not eject Miller from the game. Ejection would have been possible under the Malicious Personal Foul rule in the rulebook.
What do you think? Should he be suspended? Fined? Neither?
1 game suspension unless he has a history of doing this.
Miller is charging KC QB Alex Smith and the hit takes place approx. 1.25 seconds after the ball is out.
It's the helmet to the back that coulda/shoulda been avoided by Von Miller. Von Miller didn't elect the soft tackle or simply collapse the attack...adrenaline!?
I don't have the necessary knowledge to make a decision on that hit. I have to research that.

Crown of the helmet hit fine him unless second or more offense.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
From a 'flagarant' point of view, this is up there with Goose's splash of Gannon during the Ravens SB run.

It looked worse on TV. The hit looked more vicious from the side angle.
Fine him unless there are previous on-field suspensions.
Fire Murphy, Gute, MLF, Barry, Senavich, etc!

Travis Kelce's amazing response to the hand motion he made after Von Miller's late hit

That gesture wasn't cool on Travis Kelce's part. It might be interpreted as worthy of a fine?

Millers leading with his helmet on that late hit. No matter how slighty off time wise that late hit may be; it will come down to leading with the helmet.Originally Posted by Zool
He'll be fortunate to escape without a fine.

From that angle it looks like he takes one, maybe one and a half steps after Smith releases. He does lead with the helmet but that by itself isn't suspension worthy.
To me, the question is *why* does he lead with the helmet? The answer is why I send him a suspension. Even if it gets lifted in the appeal process, it sends a message to teams and players like Von Miller.
1974:
Great hit, man! That'll make that QB think twice next time he drops back to pass!
2014:
Fine him and suspend him for a game.

Yeah, the problem with those hits is that they are against the rules now. I like football, and reckless plays like this are going to destroy the game.
1974: Hits like this do not cause brain damage.
2014: Hits like this do cause brain damage.
It figures you'd blame DirecTV for the pussification of football.

I vote to execute Vonn Miller. Send a message of intolerance.
