Fined another 25k but not suspended

Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship. -
Good! I don't like the guy! He's a cheap shot artist. -
I think if a person is flagged and fined for a hit on a guy that puts them out they should be suspended for the same amount of games as the guy he put out is...JMOSwede: My expertise in this area is extensive.

I like the concept, but I don't think you could enforce it.
What do you do for career ending injuries, kick the guy out of the league for life? How about a border-line player that tries to make a comeback but doesn't make the team after the injury? Is he still out for purposes of the suspension? What if it is the last game of the year and the player misses no time, but has to rehab all off-season? No suspension? I could probably go on...

3 questionable hits in 2 weeks. I'm not shocked, but I'm a little surprised. I'm thinking the next one will get him a suspension. Maybe he'll play more cautiously and quit hitting QBs low. Is Goodell a closet Vikings fan?
Bedard says he's been fined 3 consecutive weeks. He also said he wanted to put his helmet in ARod's spine in the preseason.

I just think that after being warned THREE TIMES with big fines he should be suspended. I like the guy think he plays hard but this is a patern now...
Yeah I understand what you are saying on not being able to enforce it but it just ticks me off when a guy takes a cheapshot at say a WR and he is out for 3 games and the Saftey with the cheapshot gets a 15k fine and nothing else...Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive.

I do not understand why Allen was not suspended. Three times in two games is the most I've heard of. He must have told Goodell that he was sorry.Originally posted by Tony Oday

I'm guessing that this may be his second strike, and Goodell might not go so easy on strike #3.Originally posted by sharpe1027I do not understand why Allen was not suspended. Three times in two games is the most I've heard of. He must have told Goodell that he was sorry.</delurk>Comment

First off why does the White player get away with shit?? He has made straight up threats IMO. I wish someone would have took him out in week 1 when he said about trying to paralyze Rodgers. Yes I know he didnt say those words but so what that is hat he implied and that is more than good enough for me. He wants to be the enemy then treat him like one and a hated one at that.Comment

I really don't think any of those hits in question are particularly dirty. You see far worse every game pretty much.Comment

I watched those clips and I must be missing something but they don't look that dirty to me. I don't know, they look completely accidental imo.Originally posted by Zool
I tend to believe that those guys don't want to hurt one another. They're all like frat brothers.Comment

I am split on this. He's a good end that Tausch had under control. Was it it Cliffy that he beat sorley?
Anyway. No cheap shots against Aaron. Also, looking at the tackles, I see a competitor and not someone trying to paralyse anybody.Comment

I agree. Allen plays like he is jacked-up on meth. His penalties are more from his reckless abandon, he doesn't tee-off on QBs. The NFL is a ticky-tacky penalty league, and Allen is position to get lots of ticky-tacky penalties.Originally posted by PartialComment

I think you could enforce it by saying the suspension occurs only in the season that the hit occurred. That way, if you caused a carreer ending injury you could come back and play.Originally posted by sharpe1027As long as he is not a Packer...Originally posted by Tony Oday
